Blessing

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing: knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing (1 Peter 3:9).

Abraham and Lot, his nephew, had flocks that were so large that the place they occupied couldn’t accommodate them both any longer. This caused strife between their herdsmen. Abraham wasn’t happy with this, so he called Lot and asked him to choose any part of the vast land where he could tend his flocks separately without their herdsmen clashing with each other. The Bible says, Lot lifted up his eyes and chose the best part of the land, leaving the other part for his uncle.

Abraham didn’t care what part of the land he got because he was a blessed man. A blessed man really doesn’t care what you give him because he knows he’s carrying a blessing that could make him prosper no matter what happens. By faith, Abraham took his own portion of the land and God’s blessing came upon it, but Lot’s seemingly good part, Sodom, was eventually destroyed by fire when God’s judgment came upon it.

Some people complain bitterly about how they’ve been cheated, victimized or marginalized by others. They give these excuses as reasons for their failure in life. You’re the seed of Abraham and the blessing is at work in you. That blessing is what guarantees your prosperity, no matter where you find yourself in life.

It was that blessing at work in Isaac that made him dig wells and find water where others had tried and failed. It was the same blessing at work in Jacob that made him prosperous though he left his father’s house without any property. If you get a hold of this truth, you’ll never be disadvantaged or discouraged another day in your life, because you’ll know that the blessing of Abraham is at work in you twenty-four hours a day. That blessing gives you the advantage.

Confession
I’m the seed of Abraham and I've been called to inherit a blessing. I’m blessed everywhere I go, and the blessing of God upon my life gives me the unparalleled advantage to win in life today and every day, in Jesus Name.

Love

Love is not an easy feeling to put into words, nor is loyalty, or trust or joy. I pray to God to give me the light to be all of these, to love life completely and live it intensely.

Love for Being

Keep your lives free from the love of money and let the love for being absorb you, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"
