I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that Abraham became so wealthy that nations were afraid of him? He had his own army, trained in his house. Check the Scriptures, everyone that God blesses spiritually becomes extremely wealthy, physically \u2013 every single one! Check your Bible, does Genesis 13:2 read the same as quoted in today\u2019s scripture reference? I have read every translation and it is the same. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/68\/gen.13.2\">Gen.13:<sup>2<\/sup><\/a> (GNT) \u201c<em>Abram was a very rich man, with sheep, goats, and cattle, <strong><u>as well as silver and gold<\/u><\/strong>.\u201d <\/em>(emphasis added). The Message Version describes Abraham as <em>loaded<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The blessings continue to multiply with every generation, about Isaac the Bible says. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/search\/bible?q=Genesis%2026:12-14&amp;category=bible&amp;version_id=116\">Gen.26:<sup>12-14<\/sup><\/a> \u201c<em>When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him. He became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow. He acquired so many flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and servants that the Philistines became jealous of him<\/em>.\u201d Isaac was one man, but an entire philistine nation was jealous of him. Guess what, before the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/GEN.26.NLT\">Gen.26<\/a>, an entire philistine nation wanted to be friends with Isaac. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/ROM.4.NLT\">Romans 4<\/a> (please study it), we see that Jesus came to connect us to the covenant of Abraham. Did you know that? I have studied this extensively, and I want you to do likewise. Go and chew on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/ROM.4.NLT\">Romans 4<\/a>; read your Bible, search it out for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>When God blesses you spiritually, it is empowerment, enablement to prosper physically. Do not get me wrong, obviously, if you are not prospering spiritually you cannot even begin to get access to it. You cannot be spiritually dead and have access to this account. It is not going to work; you need to be spiritually alive. Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/116\/EPH.1.NLT\">Eph.1:15-23, 4-6, and then 7<\/a>, in this order to your P.B.S and C.B.S. May God open the Book of Remembrance to you as you study His Word.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong>: Father, as I engage Your Word, reveal deep secrets about my life and Your plan to me, in Jesus Name.
