In the book of Genesis, God promised Abraham six amazing blessings if he would leave his hometown and allow God to lead him to a place where God was taking him to: - I will cause your offspring to become a great nation of people.
- I will bless you personally.
- I will give you a name that will be remembered.
- I will bless those who are good and kind to you.
- I will curse those who dare to be your enemies.
- All humanity will be blessed because of you.
God's purpose and objective in blessing Abraham did not revolve only around Abraham. - God was giving Abraham the opportunity to become a person who lived by faith.
- God was giving Abraham an opportunity to use his life to help achieve God's eternal purposes.
- God was offering blessings to Abraham if he would develop that faith that allowed God to lead him and if Abraham would accept the responsibility to be a blessing.
- Abraham's blessings were not only about Abraham's earthly pleasures.
- God made it clear to Abraham: "My blessings carry with them the responsibility to be a blessing."
