having become a curse for us….
that the blessing of Abraham might come upon
the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might
receive the promise of the Spirit through faith….
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s
seed, and heirs according to the promise.
(Galatians 3:13-14,29)
As a born-again believer, you are stamped with the mark of the blessing because you are Abraham’s seed. The anointing of God is upon you, and He favors you!
With favor comes insight, wisdom, revelation, and ideas. Joseph received supernatural revelation on how to manage and oversee the storage of grain. That was a major engineering feat. In the same way, the blessing of God will enable you to receive insight for whatever area of life in which you are involved.
Years ago, when Sharon and I first started out in ministry, there was a young man in our hometown who decided to open a men’s clothing store. There already were two or three men’s stores that seemed to have a corner on the market. Even though this young man didn’t know how to match his own socks, his dream came from God.
In a matter of a few years, his store became the number one men’s clothing store in all of Southwest Arkansas. How did he gain an edge over the other stores? He loved on every person who came into his store, he talked with them, and he ministered to them. He prayed in the Holy Spirit continually, and he was diligent. When he went to market, he made his selections while praying in the Holy Spirit.
What God did for this young man, He will do for you as you seek Him and realize that in Christ, you are Abraham’s seed and an heir to all the promises of God.
