Topic: THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM
Text : Galatians 3:1-29
Genesis 28:4 And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Life is not enjoyable without blessing, it is like living in a city without food, like living in a place where you cannot have things that make life comfortable. No wonder God created man last, He provided all that man will need before making man, He understands that man cannot survive without provision so all kinds of food man need was made before him.
When man fell, God cursed him. He began to make ends meet by toiling instead of tiling Genesis 2:5, man was suppose to till ( cultivate ) the ground not toiling before making ends meet, so, man was cursed in Eden because of sin Genesis 3:17-19.
God punishing humanity through the disobedience of our first parents, also willing to reward obedience of Abraham, pronounced blessing on man in Abraham, look at this:
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. God packaged blessing in Abraham, and promised that his descendants will be blessed.
Jesus coming through the lineage of Abraham, became the saviour of the world. These passages of the bible link Adam and Abraham: Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
V. 13 explains how Christ redeemed us from the curse on Adam, v.14 talks about how He linked us with the blessing God has packaged in Abraham, we were gentiles, but Christ’s death and resurrection brought us into the family of God.
Abraham was blessed in all his endeavors, he was the father of many nations, he obtained that through faith in God and obedience to His words, as we follow suit we become partakers with him of the blessing God has packaged in him. God bless you.
PRAYER.
* I will live a blessed life.
* I seize from toiling, as I till my ground it will be forth increase unto me.
