God made a covenant with Abraham and it is still standing today, tomorrow and forever!! So it is me and you included! We are part of the covenant!! You and I are blessed!!
Genesis 22:18: "And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”
Galatians 3:29: "And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you."
One word why Abraham was prosperous and blessed was obedience!! Obedience is the key to a prosperous and blessed life!!

Deuteronomy 11:13-15: "If you carefully obey the commands I am giving you today, and if you love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart and soul, then he will send the rains in their proper seasons—the early and late rains—so you can bring in your harvests of grain, new wine, and olive oil. He will give you lush pastureland for your livestock, and you yourselves will have all you want to eat."
Dueteronomy 11:26-28: “Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before."
Deuteronomy 28:8: "The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you."
John 13:17: "Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them."
Because of obedience God will bless and prosper you but not for your own purpose, but to use it for the Kingdom!! You are here on earth with a purpose. To do His will on earth, to live for Him!!To be a blessing to others!! We have to be blessed and prosperous to help others.
When the Temple was build, they never used second hand material or said to God it is to grand for them, they can not built the Temple!! No!! They didin't When they build the Temple, they were using the best of the best materials!!
1 Corinthians 3:16-17: "Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple."
We are God's temple, that means only the best!! Lack, poverty, sickness, worries, fear is not part of the Kingdom of God!!
John 10:10: "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
We are not here on this earth to live for ourselves!! We are here to help and bless others, preach the Good News to the world, that is why we have to be bless and prosperous for the Kingdom of God!
Deuteronomy 8:18: "You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day."
Philippians 4:19: "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
God wants you to prosper in every area of your life!!
Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. "
Proverbs 10:22: "The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it."
Ephesians 3:20: "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us."
Proverbs 3:9-10: "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine."
When you obey God, He will prosper and bless you. Prosperity and blessings is not for you to keep it but for the Kingdom of God!! TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS, TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!!!
