Blessing for Dec. 18th

[jeremiah7]

Genesis 12:1-3
The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.”I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”


God could have blessed Abraham in the Ur of the Chaldeans itself. But He chose not to. God set “Get Out” from the midst of idol worshippers and I have set apart great many blessings for you and your family.

Abraham was not living in poverty in the Ur of the Chaldeans. He had enough material blessings. But God wanted to bless him more in every sphere of his life. Abraham obeyed God and the rest as they say is ‘history’. In short, as Moses writes "God blessed him in everything" (Genesis 24:1)

This also shows the importance of Faith.

Abraham trusted God and God blessed him, " in everything "

How many times in our lives did God ask us to let go of something, and we didnt. Yes its rebellion, but it also shows the little faith we have in God.


I have some decisions to make for Jan 08'.
I prayer for discernment, because if its not God's will I'm not moving.
But If its His will, I pray for strength..because I know through obedience Abraham was blessed.

Thank you for starting my day right with this message.
