ADOPTED INTO THE KINGDOM

I am still looking at the blessings of Abraham. In claiming them I feel rich because they are powerful and filled with a lot of understanding. I have covered the first blessing already.

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:1-3

A great nation! If you want your lineage, your children and grandchildren to be blessed then you follow the instructions. However remember that to be part of the family is critically important to claim the blessings.

As a born again Christian I am entitled to these blessings. Can I claim them based on birthright? Many people think that because they speak a particular language or are born in a particular country they are entitled. However, that means they are under legal entitlement and not adoption. 

Being adopted into the kingdom of God means that you are under grace. It means that you follow the principles of grace to receive the blessing. Legal entitlement by birthright means that you have to follow the specifics of the law. That means you cannot follow one law and not the rest, you follow all the laws. I can claim both but I prefer grace.

God continues to identify and quantify His blessings to us, I will bless you:

He gives in abundance - ..... The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10 

He gives all that we need based on our faith - But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19 

He gives us authority - Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. Ephesians 3:20 

God is saying that He will give more than you can think or imagine. You cannot quantify God! He is saying believe and ask, you will receive. He will give you an abundant life. Not one filled with curses but one filled with blessings. 

I pray you are a great nation. I pray your lineage is blessed. I pray that through faith you are blessed in abundant life in Jesus name.

If you do not know Jesus as your Saviour, you can pray this prayer of conversion: 

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask you to forgive my sins in knowledge or ignorance. Please forgive me. I accept Jesus as my Saviour. I ask that Jesus comes into my life as I live to be a witness for Him. Please change my life and make me into the person you want me to be, in Jesus name I pray. Thank you.
