READ:
GENESIS 12:1-3
There is a
great difference between blessings and curses. A blessing is the opposite of a
curse. A blessing is a call to supernatural forces to assist someone that you
love. When you want someone to prosper, and you do not have the ability to help
the fellow, you can call on the heavenly forces to come and help the person.
You may then ask: Who can bless? God and those authorised by God can bless.
According to our text, Gold told Abraham: “I will bless you and make your name great;
and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curs
him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
From the above Bible passage, it is clear that anyone who blessed Abraham was
already blessed. Anyone who says God should bless Israel is already blessed.
Anyone that says God should bless any of the seeds of Abraham is already
blessed. Additionally, your father can bless you. Your husband can bless you.
Your pastor can bless you. Your brother cannot bless you because he has not got
the authority to do so. Likewise, your sister cannot bless you because she has
not got the authority to do so. If they bless you, they are just greeting you.
However, if any agent of the devil blesses you, be sure that he is bringing the
greatest curse on you. Above all, you need divine blessings. Therefore, let me
pronounce Scriptural blessings on you. “The LORD will open to you His good treasure,
the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the
work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow,
and the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only,
and not beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I
command you today, and are careful to observe them. ” (Deuteronomy
28:12-13). Finally, I counsel you to continuously position yourself where you
will always receive divine blessings.
MEMORIZE:
GENESIS 17:5 –No longer shall your name be called Abram but your name shall be
Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
