The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob II

Sunday 5 February
READ: Gen. 12:1–3
MORE LESSON: Gal. 3:29

One of the benefits of spiritual sonship is that the grace of God in the life of the father will begin to speak in the lives of all the children that are truly connected to his loins. When the Pharisees claimed to be children of Abraham, Jesus told them that if they were Abraham’s children, they would do the works of Abraham (John 8:39). As a child of Abraham, the blessings of Abraham should happen in your life as your covenant birthright.
One of the blessings of Abraham is greatness; greatness begets more greatness. Abraham was not just a rich man but a great man. He was honourable, influential and had a great, respected name. His children were also people of influence and high position. Imagine a man whose children are presidents, governors and ambassadors, in the society such a man can never be counted as a mean man. This is what God did for Abraham, according to Gen. 17:4 – 6, As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.
Isaac was a great man. Gen. 26:13 records, …the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great. Also, his children were not mean people; they were great. As a matter of fact, when Isaac’s wife was pregnant, God told her that two nations, not mere children, were in her womb (Gen. 25:23). After that God located Jacob and said to him: I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings hall come from your body: Gen. 35:11. Every child that comes from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob become great nations. Abraham was great, Isaac waxed greater, and Jacob became a great nation. As the lineage progressed, the greater they became. It is like a graph of greatness that is going higher and higher from the father to the children. When you extrapolate this graph from Abraham and let it keep going till it reaches you, you will see the height Jehovah expects you to be placed now.
As a child of Abraham, greatness is your portion. Every child, both spiritual and physical, that comes out of your loins is destined for greatness. Jehovah’s expectation for you is that whenever you are located, you should climb the ladder of the covenant to get the highest position. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the God of greatness and abundance. He is also your God and what He has done in their lives, He will do in yours.
