The Blessing of Abraham

This is the promise, Abba Father told Abraham years ago:

Genesis 22:17
'I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the sea shore. (Promise 1)
Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, (Promise 2)
and through your offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed, (Promise 3)
because you have obeyed me.'

Today, I want to talk about this blessing of Abraham. I have prayed to Lord that not by power and not by might, but by his spirit, to let us know His Blessing of Abraham clearly.

Many times in church, when Pastor Prince mentioned about how Abba father has blessed the natural descendants of Abraham, he like to use the word which means a tiny bit or the residual. However, every time when I heard him proclaimed that, my heart always cringed. It just not sound comfortable to me.

Looking at the list of brands and company names, singers, actors, doctors and the list goes on that Pastor Prince and Pastor Lian showed to us, you will noticed that practically all that we used or enjoyed come from what Lord has greatly blessed them and is still blessing them, example is Facebook owner, who is also a Jews.

If you read Promise 3 of the Abraham blessing, that is exactly what Lord has been doing. As long as they do not tried to get the blessing of God through the Law, Lord's hand is mightily with them to let the world know that His Grace and Mercy is still flowing through Abraham descendants. Lord is a Faithful God in the past and in the present. As we can see His Mighty Hands working through the descendants of Abraham, the Jews. So, how can this be a tiny drop or the residual? How many of us have get any better then those Jews that did not go by the law but by the Grace of Jesus?

Lord Jesus has said that we, who are the spiritual descendants of Abraham, is grafted into the natural olive tree, to receive the free favor that Jesus has promised us that through His work 2000 years ago, at the Cross of Calvary. We, who believed, are grafted into the natural olive tree, to receive this free favour. We are the par-taker of His Grace and Mercy. But that does not mean that there are no Jews out there that is not receiving this Free Favour and Abundance.

As what the list of great blessings that comes through the offspring of Abraham that did not follow the law, we, the spiritual Children of Abraham and co-heir to this Great Blessing of Abraham, through the Righteousness of God in Christ that we are cleansed whiter than snow, to enjoy this Abraham blessing. It is when we see what Abba Father is doing and can also do in our lives through our believing Abraham and walking closely with Jesus that we are greatly blessed.

Our spiritual eyes and hearts need to be open to see the greatness of Jesus on the Cross and the reality of God, the Father, promised to Abraham and his descendants – be us the natural or the spiritual descendants.

We should not discount what Lord's Mighty Hand is doing in the lives of the Jews to bless the world, that is not a residual nor tiny. Abba Hand is Mighty, His Blessing is never tiny nor residual, it is Abundance and more Abundantly! Even the Jews might not know how nor why they are blessed, but surely they know they are the descendants of Abraham and God has promised Abraham. Glory Glory! Amen Amen!
