Abraham Blessings are mine
Now the Lord had said to Abram
Even though Hagar was not God’s choice, because of the promise He had made to Abraham, He told her,
Almighty God made some wonderful promises to Abraham and to his descendants. Not only that, but the Lord promised that in Abraham ALL the families of the earth would be blessed! This blessing comes to us through faith in Jesus Christ, Abraham's Seed. The Old Covenant believers were blessed and counted righteous as they looked forward to Jesus’ coming and the New Covenant believers are blessed and made righteous as they believe and trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on Calvary! The only basis we have to inherit these promises, is our faith in God’s word! Abraham’s blessings are yours!
The Lord promised to bless Abraham and make him the father of many nations, He promised to make him exceedingly fruitful, to keep His covenant with him throughout the generations, and to give his descendants the land he showed him for an everlasting possession (Genesis 17:4-8). In Genesis 22:17, the Lord told Abraham that,
God stands by His word and His promises – even through the generations – even to a thousand generations! Even though Ishmael was the son of the flesh and not the son of promise, as was Isaac, still God kept His promise to bless Ishmael because he was Abraham’s seed! The Lord promised Abraham, “
If God kept His promises even to Ishmael, He will surely keep His promises to you!
Abraham was successful and blessed all of his days because,
Absolutely nothing prevented Abraham from experiencing God’s blessings and promises because he chose to believe God’s word and not what he could see or feel! God will bless you the same way!
