Galatians 3:13-14
Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, 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.
Wow! Because of what Jesus did to redeemed us from the curse of the law, we now receive the blessing of Abraham....Blessing of greatness, blessing of protection, blessing to those who bless him.
Gen 12:2-3
I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curse you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed
When Abraham walked on earth, he was very rich in livestock.
Gen 13:2
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. God blessed everything he did. After Lot his nephew took the best part of the land from Abraham, Abraham was so kind to greedy Lot, yet God blessed Abraham even greater after that. Wow... Don't be afraid if others take advantage of you, be like Abraham, generous and kind.
God renewed Sarah's youth, even when she was old in age, 2 kings wanted to marry her... this can happen to believers who has blessing of Abraham...hint hint...
To activate the blessing of God, we need to receive Jesus like Abraham... and not go back to the curse of the law...
Galatians 3:9
So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
To go back to the curse of the law means we go back to a religious merit system to earn God's blessing by following religious system of the law.
Galatians 5:4
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Be like Abraham who depend on God's love and depend on His Holy Spirit for direction.
Obedience of faith is important, it is obeying the Holy Spirit's promptings... This would yield greater and greater blessing... Juz like Abraham who obeyed God and follow His leading... ultimately He receive his greatest desire which is the promise son Isaac.
Blessing of Abraham also include blessing on your family members, juz like how isaac was very blessed, Joseph was very blessed, whatever task they do, the Lord made it to prosper that people around start to envy the blessing... This blessing of Abraham is on you today...
