READ: EXODUS
3:14-16
“And God said moreover to Moses, Thus shall
you say to the children of Israel, the LORD God of your fathers, the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you; this is My
name forever and this is My memorial to all generations” (Exodus 3:15).
One name by which God wants to be remembered is that He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. When you look at God’s blessing upon Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you will immediately be confronted with the fact that God is extremely rich as he owns the earth and its fullness (Psalm 24:1). An adage says it is the rich who befriends the rich. It automatically follows that since God is the Source of true wealth, anyone who is linked with Him must equally be wealthy. Are you linked with God? If yes, true wealth is yours in Jesus name. The Lord will prosper you so that you do not bring shame to Him.
Abraham was very rich in cattle, silver and gold (Genesis 13:2). When his nephew was taken captive, Abraham armed his trained male servants who were born in his own house numbering 318 to go and recover him and all that was his. How many rich men have as many servants taking care of their household? God blessed Abraham greatly (Genesis 24:34-35) and turned his greatest source of sorrow (barrenness) into his greatest source of joy. He became a father of several nations. If you are a seed of Abraham you cannot afford to be poor.
Shortly before his death, Abraham transferred all his wealth to Isaac thereby giving him a good start. In Genesis 26:12-14, we are told that Isaac became so great to the extent that his personal budget was equivalent to that of a whole nation. That stirred up the envy of the Philistines. God promises that you shall lend to nations. Unfortunately, many of us are satisfied with a river instead of an ocean of God’s blessings. If you are not tired of your river, the ocean will not come. God kept multiplying Jacob exceedingly. His multiplication was in excess. The Lord will multiply you in excess. Whatever level of prosperity you are enjoying now is just the beginning. In any case, be faithful in your tithes. Sow seeds into God’s house. The God of Abraham is also mine.

MEMORIZE:
EXODUS 3:6 –Moreover He said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was
afraid to look upon God.
