 ABRAHAM'S BLESSINGS
 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE."That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." (Galatians 3:14 KJV).

All believers in Christ are Abraham's seed and therefore possessors of all the blessings of Abraham.
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Galatians 3:29 KJV).
Some believers wonder why the Bible referred to us as Abraham's seed. They assume that he lived in the old testament.

First, Abraham lived before the Old Testament. He lived before the Law of Moses and he lived a life of faith here on earth. When God made a promise to him as recorded in the book of Genesis, the Bible says the promises were made to Abraham and his seed. This promise was repeated in Galatians 3:16
" Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah)." AMP).

I like the amplified version interpretation of that verse. The word "seed" used in this scripture is not in a pluralised form but singular and it refers to Christ Jesus. Since you belong to Christ you are Abraham's seed . Your union with Christ automatically qualifies you as a descendant of Abraham and by extension the possessor of all the blessings of Abraham

As the seed of Abraham, you can never be disadvantaged or defeated in life. Poverty and sickness cannot be part of your life.
Isaac walked in super-abundant blessings during a period of severe famine because he was Abraham's seed.
"Then Isaac sowed seed in that land and received in the same year a hundred times as much as he had planted, and the Lord favoured him with blessings. And the man became great and gained more and more until he became very wealthy and distinguished;" (Genesis 26:12, 13 AMP).

The same way it worked for Isaac, it will also work for you. You will have hundred fold blessings for every seed-sown. The Lord will favour you with blessings the same way He favoured Isaac because of Abraham. You will be great and gain advantage repeatedly. You will be very great and distinguished among your peers. For you are the Isaac of this generation.
"Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise." (Galatians 4:28 KJV). You are a child of promise! You will not fail! Welcome once again to your month of multiple celebration of blessings.

Today's Confession.
I declare today that I am a partaker of the blessings of Abraham. I am blessed everywhere I go;in the city,in the field,in my going out and in my coming in. Amen.
