In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed?

Part I

The whole families of this world will be blessed through His own body that is you and me. In this last days God is expecting you and me to be blessing to the whole world. Whether you believe or not, you and me are going to be blessing of this world who longs to walk with God in obeying the teachings of Jesus Christ.Let us not be settled with any blessing of this world and struck there itself not moving further to be the blessing of others.With my limited period in walking with God I could discover that the reason God bless us materially in this world is to use it for others blessing, He will continue to give you more and more not to store here on this earth but to give it others to be blessed in His kingdom. Initially He will bless us the Atlanta 12 with His power and glory. The same blessing will flow to the people of this world. We shall witness His power and glory where ever we go and glorify God as others will see God in action through us. We will have the finance that is needed for us will be provided by God. We shall eat the riches of the gentiles and the wealth of the sinners is laid up for us to use. It will come on its own. Isa 61:6; Pro 13: 22.

The above blessing was initially pronounced by God to Abraham our father of faith. “And I will make of thee a great nation and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shall be a blessing; and I will bless thee that bless thee and curse him that curse thee; andin thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” Gen 12: 3.

This same blessing comes to us as we are His body and can be inherited through Christ Jesus.”That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; thatwe might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith”. Gal 3:14.

Let us receive this blessing through faith. We have been taught by God how to receive it in God’s way of doing. Surely I bless each and every one of Atlanta 12+ and the others who is willing to be His Body and function as His Body. So you are blessed brothers and sisters in His Body to be blessing to the world where you are and where ever you are send by His Spirit in the days to come shortly.

Here God wants us to be mindful of the things which hindered in Abraham’s life that he should not be blessed because the following reasons, yet by His grace and mercy God has called Abraham and chosen him to be His blessing to the whole earth, he could learn the obedience through the sufferings he under went and finally pleased God by faith in offering his only son and withheld not his son by showing Him that truly love God more than anything. We too need to please God only by faith by not withholding anything which hinders us to please Him in faith. Kindly examine the followings in your life and ministry, is it any thing you still love more than God and are you withholding? Let nothing be hindering us from the manifestation of God’s power and glory which will be witnessed every day in us and through us. So dearly brother and sister let us walk in faith and in Sprit and in the power of might in pleasing Him by faith.

• Though Abram left Ur of the Chaldees to go to the land of Canaan, yet half way he obeyed his father and stayed along with his father in Haran. Here God has to deal with his father in order that Abram has to proceed to Canaan. Abram father died in Haran then he again started proceeding towards Canaan. Gen 11: 31,32.

Please think for a while, is there anything which holds you back and not sincere and faithful to his calling? Or are you half way just struck because of your blood relation? Now is the year of favour to proceed further in obeying His calling brother.

• Abram went down to Egypt to stay there because the famine was grievous in the land, by choosing his own way of understanding and not trusting God’s provision where God keep him. Gen 12: 10.

Is there in any areas of your life and ministry are you leaning on your own understanding and has the desire to deviate from His calling? Please lean not your understanding brother, even though the circumstances may not seems to be favour in our own benefits, yet kindly trust in Him He will lead us through.

• Loving his life more than God, in order to save his life he lies, put his wife in temptation, getting worldly blessings and getting rebuke from unbelievers. Gen 12: 11- 20. Gen 20: 1-10.

When we deviate from His way, there will be lot of trials and temptation will come on our way to make you to realize and turn to God’s way brother. Let us trust Him for all His provision He will provide in the midst of acute shortage of anything in due time.

• When Abram rescues Lot from other Kings after having fought with them, he was coming with bodily exhausted, satisfied with earthly material blessings and pride in his heart that he could win over the kings and rescue Lot. Gen 14:14-17.

Never get settled with any material blessing of this world though it comes on our way in rightful way and never allow the pride to enter into our head and heart and never get exhausted in your body. In these three ways we may be hindered to get the real blessing from God.

• Not patiently waiting on the promise of God to fulfilled in life for his spiritual son to be born, he listened to his wife advice and went in unto Hagar to give birth to a carnal son in their own way of understanding Gen 16:1,2.

Never choose any way of this world to please God in getting the things done, as if we are helping God to fulfill His promise.

• For thirteen long years God was not speaking to him because of choosing the carnal way- the fleshly connection. That is why God

brought the cutting away of flesh in circumcise. Gen 16: 16 – 17: 1; 10,11. and Philp 3:3.

It is terrible thing of not having communication from God for such a long period just because of going in the carnal way in helping God to fulfill his promise in our life. Wait upon the Lord till he makes things happen for us in His own sweet time.

Dearly Beloved of God, Let us be blessed from God alone and never be settled with any blessing of this world in compromise with the blessing what God stored for us. Whether we get it here on earth or not, it is kept for is in the world to come. So let us look above heavenly and which ever we count that are the blessing of this world, let us use for His kingdom sake and win many for His kingdom and let us inherit the blessing of God.

Your loving brother

Brams.
