“The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee” (verses 9-10). God’s ways are the ways of love. When you walk in love and in THE BLESSING of God, people see there’s something special about you. Everywhere you go you make that place better. If God calls you to move into some raggedy old neighborhood, where everyone’s mean to you, you go there willingly and become God’s agent of change. You bring God’s love and BLESSING to those people, pray for them, and turn that neighborhood around. That’s what Isaac did in Genesis 26 when the famine hit Canaan. At God’s direction, he stayed there and prospered in the midst of it. To get the water he needed for his crops, he’d dig a well and get it flowing, then his neighbors would steal it, so he’d dig another one. He kept digging wells until eventually the whole place was flourishing. Then everyone thought the famine was over, so they ran him out of town. When they did, the famine hit again with a vengeance. So, they ran after him, begged him to come back, and asked him to make covenant with them. Why? Because of THE BLESSING of The LORD! “And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee” (verse 11). Notice material possessions are “goods,” not “bads,” and as the BLESSED we’re to have plenty of them to enjoy and to give. We’re not supposed to get them by seeking after them though, like the world does. Instead, we seek God and His ways and the goods overtake us. One time I got home from preaching out of town and found a little, yellow 500 Mercedes convertible sitting in my driveway. I called the office to see whose it was and found out one of my Partners had given it to me. I asked The LORD, “What’s going on? I didn’t believe for this. I’ve never even thought about wanting a car like this.” The LORD replied, 'You remember I said, "All these blessings will come on you and overtake you?"' “Yes, Sir,” I answered. 'Boy, you just got overtook!' He said. “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 shalt 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…” (verses 12-13). This is who you are! You’re the BLESSED. Renew your mind to it. Build these verses into you. Think them. Talk them. Practice seeing yourself in the light of them until the first thing you say every morning when you look in the mirror is, “Hello, BLESSED!” V POINTS TO GET YOU THERE: 1) Through the new birth you’ve been redeemed from the curse and into THE BLESSING. (Gal. 3:13-14) 2) THE BLESSING of Abraham that’s yours in Christ is the same BLESSING God put on Adam when he was created. (Gen. 1:28) 3) According to Melchizedek, THE BLESSING of Abraham made him possessor of heaven and earth. (Gen. 14:19) 4) As Abraham’s seed in Christ, THE BLESSING gives you victory and dominion in heaven and earth. (Rom. 4:13) 5) You don’t have to run after blessings; as you listen to and obey God, His BLESSING runs after and overtakes you.
