Topic: Divine Blessings
Text: Genesis 12:1-3

There is a great difference between blessings and curses. A blessing is the opposite of a curse. A blessing is a call to supernatural forces to assist someone that you love. When you want someone to prosper, and you do not have the ability to help the fellow, you can call on the heavenly forces to come and help the person.

You may then ask: Who can bless? God and those authorized by God can bless. According to our text, God told Abraham: “I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” From the above Bible passage, it is clear that anyone who blessed Abraham was already blessed. Anyone who says God should bless Israel is already blessed. Anyone that says God should bless any of the seeds of Abraham is already blessed.

Additionally, your father can bless you. Your husband can bless you. Your Pastor can bless you. Your brother cannot bless you because he has not got the authority to do so. Likewise, your sister cannot bless you because she has not got the authority to do so. If they bless you, they are just greeting you. However, if any agent of the devil blesses you, be sure that he is bringing the greatest curse on you. Above all, you need divine blessings.

Therefore, let me pronounce Scriptural blessings on you. “The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in His season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shall not borrow. And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if thou shalt hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them.” (Deuteronomy 28:12-13). Finally, I counsel you to continuously position yourself where you will always receive divine blessings.

Memory Verse: Genesis 17:5 - “Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham, for father of many nations have I made thee.”
