And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in
gold. Genesis 13:2.
THOUGHT
FOR THE DAY: You are a reservoir of supply.
In the previous days, we have been looking at how powerful the Blessing
of God is. Today, we shall be looking at another dimension of the blessing. The
Blessing of God carries unusual abundance. In Genesis 12:2-3, God
said to Abraham, ‘I will bless you and you shall be a blessing’.
That is to say, Abraham would be blessed in abundance beyond the capacity of
personal consumption; a realm where what God supplies you is too much for only
you and your family to consume. When you are blessed, you are not just a pond
but an ocean and a reservoir of supply. When you are blessed, you become a
generational, family and community reservoir. The life of a blessed man is like
the stream in the village that serves everybody. When you are blessed, your
life services your generation; it flows beyond you to your generation. Abraham,
for instance, is an easy reference point for the Blessing in Scripture. And
even up till today, Abraham’s seeds still remain blessed. Genesis 24:1 says, ‘And
Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in
all things.’ Take a look at the nation of Israel for instance. Israel is a
blessing to the world in terms of security, technology and even food. Sixty
percent (60%) of Israel ’s
land mass is desert, yet it is exporting food to the world. The second biggest
diamond refinery in the world is in Israel . The voice mail technology
originated from Israel . The Blessing of God makes you a channel. That is to say, everything about
you positively impacts your generation. Beloved, by the time Jehovah is through
with you, you won’t even be able to recognise yourself. God is going to change
your story until you become a surprise to yourself, in Jesus’ Name!
ASSIGNMENT
(S):
1. Let your life service your family, community and generation consistently.
1. Let your life service your family, community and generation consistently.
PRAYER: I am
a flowing ocean of the Blessing. What God is doing in my life is beyond my
capacity to consume, in Jesus’ Name.
