The Blessings of God; Abraham

By God original desire, Blessing is part of God's creative package for Man. The real blessings God gave Man is to have dominion. Parts of God's blessings includes fruitfulness; expansion or multiplication. God doesn't want excuses of not being fruitful. We are expected as God's children to fill up our spaces. Many of us have not attained our divine spaces on earth because we are not capable enough to occupy or fill up those spaces God has made for us.

Everybody has something deposited in him by God. No one is a zero or a nonentity.And God expected us to level up. Abraham in the bible was able to enjoy God's blessings because he was willing to obey God. Obedience cones before everything else. God must have tested his obedience many times and luckily Abraham passed all. You could imagine how Abraham passed through some tough spots in his lifetime. Firstly he had to leave his father's land and go to an unknown place under the command of God. Abraham also showed obedience even in the most difficult time. When God asked him to sacrifice his only child, he didn't even say no.

Abraham was a man of blessing, he was blesses beyond imagination and curse. During the days of Abraham, he was so rich and wealthy that he becomes the envy of many people. He became vast and great. Sometimes God's blessings comes in many unimaginable ways, higher than any form of human thinking. Remember the man called Obed Edom in the bible. He was a man that everyone has forgotten. I learnt from this man that people don't value the lives of the poor, they are always regarded as insignificant. If you want to command and have a say in the affairs of the world today, then you have to be powerful and one of such ways to be is to be wealthy and have money. The Ark of the covenant turned a poor Obed Edom to a rich man even though that's not the original intent of King David when he ordered the ark to be kept in the man's house.

God can bless us from absolute nothingness like Obed Edom. God could also decides to bless us through the works of our hands. The blessings of God could also be solidified when you obey the commands of God by paying your tithes as at when due; faithfully and consistently. Many people expect God's blessings buy they're not even ready to obey him by being faithful in payment of tithe. God doesn't reward dishonest people or people with dishonest means. You couldn't think His will bless a man involved in shady or dishonest way of living, like an armed robber.

As said earlier, blessings is a part of God's creative package for Man. God blessed man immediately after he created him. He asked them to be fruitful and multiply. Many times, people get blessed but they don't multiply their blessings. You can't be blessed by God and you still have poor friends besides you. It's like you were not blessed at all. God's blessings through you will turn all your poor friends to rich people through you, because God's blessings multiply. If God blesses you in your family it will reach the other members of your family too. But to attain God's blessings, you must be a child of God who keeps every if God's commandments and is ready to obey him.
