Abrahams Blessings Are Mine

Our forefather, Abraham left his father's household and all he ever knew to be normal and sane, to obey God who revealed Himself to him.
He dared to foolishly obey God's  command for him to go to an unknown destination that was not at all definitively described to him and as a result not clearly understood by him either.
He chose to have an uncommon faith in the Almighty to do the seemingly ridiculous to the minds of most people if they were faced with the same situation.

As a direct result of his choice to obey God's call upon his life, to leave the known and follow the unknown, God Almighty rewarded his faithfulness in Him with the 7 fold blessing as recorded in Genesis 12:2-3, that goes thus:
1. “I will make you into a great nation, and 
2. I will bless you; 
3. I will make your name great, and 
4. you will be a blessing. 
5. I will bless those who bless you, 
6. whoever curses you I will curse; and 
7. all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

As in Galatians 3:29,  
"If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." 

Therefore, Abrahams blessings automatically accrues to anyone who would by faith in Christ Jesus, desire to have such work replicated in their lives for the sole purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission, ensuring that the peoples of the earth are blessed through them. 

The call of God upon Abraham and the Almighty's blessings upon his life and indeed the life of any other man is always geared towards one purpose, which is His will that all men be delivered from all that is wrong with this world we were born into as a result of the curse of the original sin of our forefather Adam and the influence of the evil one, so that His prized creation can be blessed because it was for such a reason that they were born and also called. 

God's command that we have dominion over all he has made for us and the blessings that accrue as a result, that He desires for all mankind as in Genesis 1:28, is this:
.., “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

So let us imbibe it, focus on it, and manifest it in our daily lives through all we think, say and do, everywhere we go, as God has purposed for us, for in Christ Jesus we are already empowered by the Holy Spirit to be victorious in all He has purposed for us to be and do.

Shalom.
