Genesis 12:2 “And I will make of you a GREAT NATION, and I will bless you [with ABUNDANT INCREASE OF FAVORS] and make your name FAMOUS & DISTINGUISHED, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].” [AMP]
This is an exceptional promise. God says He will make of you a GREAT NATION. We each live in one of the greatest and most beautiful nations on the face of the Earth. This verse says that God can make of you a GREAT NATION. This means that as great and beautiful as your nation is, God can make something even greater and more beautiful of you.
He tells us how He’ll complete this exceptional task. He says He will bless us with ABUNDANT INCREASE OF FAVORS. Not just a 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 will bless us with ABUNDANT INCREASE OF FAVORS – now that’s good.
God goes on to say He will make your name FAMOUS & DISTINGUISHED. Many people try to make their own name famous & distinguished. God says that to make of you a GREAT NATION He will make your name FAMOUS & DISTINGUISHED – WOW!!! He says He will do it for you.
Finally, to be a GREAT NATION He says that we will dispense and give out goods to others. You and I are to be Blessed so abundantly as a GREAT NATION that we will bring ABUNDANT INCREASE OF FAVORS to all those around us, continually! We will each be abundantly blessed so we can be an abundant blessing to others.
Capture this in your spirit this week and let God do His perfect work in you to make of you a GREAT NATION!!!
