Scripture
Genesis 13:8-9
“Finally Abraham said to Lot, “Let’s not allow this conflict to come between us or our herdsmen. After all, we are close relatives. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want the land to the left, then i’ll take the land to the right.”
Meditation / Motivation
How come Abraham offered Lot the opportunity to make the choice first? Didn’t he realize Lot could choose the better land and his cattle would suffer? How come he gave Lot the opportunity to choose the fertile and well watered land? Lot chose the best land for himself! But look at this: Lot did that because he thought the land was what was going to take care of him. But Abraham said, you can go ahead and choose whatever you want, why? Because Abraham knew it was “the Blessing” that takes care of me! Watch this, no matter what land you take, the one I step on is blessed! I bring the blessing to the land, I am a child of the blessing. Wherever Abraham went, the blessing went. Wherever you go, the blessing goes! And the blessing also says to you, “Look as far as you can see in every direction – north, south, east, and west. I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.” You have the blessing, do not just depend on what you can see, depend on the blessing and take action.
Prayer / Declaration
Father, thank you for the blessing. I am blessed and I am conscious of it! The blessing is on me! I do not depend on how things may look now; I depend on the blessing! The blessing is my reality! The blessing takes care of me! I bring the blessing with me wherever I go! By the power of the blessing, my eyes are opened to see: I see myself well, I see my business prospering! I see myself succeeding! I see my family doing well! I see that my future is bright and glorious, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
