Tag: Genesis 12:2

I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great, and so you shall be a blessing to others
Genesis 12:2

Have you ever been hosing the garden, taken a step and discovered that the stream of water has faltered & stopped? Looking back along the hose you see a twist and kink that’s stopping any water from passing through. The solution is relatively easy: unkink the hose and the water again freely flows. If you hadn’t looked, you’d not have known the reason for the blockage or how to rectify it.

Today’s verse can help us unkink our lives a bit. We’re told that God will make us, bless us and bring greatness into our world. This is part of God’s Heart for His people and part of the promise He made to Abraham that the Apostle Paul said would come upon us [Galatians 3:14]. But the flow of Blessing seems to be kinked & blocked in many believers’ lives.

The key to a free flow of blessing and an expansive life in God is held in the last part of this verse. Whenever we’re blessed we’re meant to reach out and bless others. We should actively ensure that others are blessed by us at every opportunity. If we don’t then there’s a kink and the flow of blessings falters and stops in our lives.This week let’s check back and see if we’ve been kinking the Blessings of God in our lives through a stingy attitude or a poverty mindset. No matter how little or how much God brings into our lives every believer can afford a kind word, a helping hand or a small gift to help raise someone up to a better place. That’s what we do every week so why not join us on this journey to bring a free flow of blessing back into your life, family, city & nation.

“I will make you into a GREAT NATION, and I will bless you with ABUNDANT INCREASE OF FAVORS;
I will make your name FAMOUS & DISTINGUISHED, and you will be a blessing”
Genesis 12:2

We each live in one of the greatest and most beautiful nations on the face of the Earth. No matter how great we think it is God is able to make it even greater & cause it to be even more blessed. So, even if we find ourselves in an inferior, chaotic or abused place, God can make it greater than it seems. He can cause it to be blessed beyond what we could ever imagine.

Today’s verse contains an exceptional promise from God. He says He’ll make us into something great; He’ll make us into a GREAT NATION and this is how He’ll do it. He’ll bless us with ABUNDANT INCREASE OF FAVORS. Not with singular favor but plural favors. Then He’ll add abundant increase to these favors. Think on that for a minute. We all love receiving favor but God says He’ll bless us with ABUNDANT INCREASE OF FAVORS – now that’s awesome!

Our verse goes on to say that God will make our name FAMOUS & DISTINGUISHED. Many people try to make their own name famous & distinguished but ultimately fail. God says He’ll do it instead. He’ll make us a GREAT NATION; He’ll make our name FAMOUS & DISTINGUISHED and He’ll ensure we’re so blessed that we’ll be able to give out abundantly to ensure others are blessed – WOW!!!

This week lets capture this promise in our spirit. Let’s allow God to perform His perfect work in us. Let’s allow Him to make us a GREAT NATION! Let’s allow Him to bring ABUNDANT INCREASE OF FAVORS! Let’s allow Him to make our name FAMOUS & DISTINGUISHED so that we can be Blessed to be a blessing.
