I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And I will make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
Scripture: Genesis 12:1-3 Suddenly God begins looking for a man with which He can extend more covenant. This time the covenant promise is that “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And I will make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” What is the price tag for this covenant that Abram suddenly finds? Abram is getting to know God, but there is a price. What is the price for Abram getting to know God? The price is what God laid out up front. He said, “Get out of your country, From your kindred And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.” Abram is going to get to know God in a generation where few knew Him. The same price Abram paid exists in our generation. Abram is going to suffer loss, but this time the loss is going to be by choice. If he wants the relationship, if he wants to know God, he must embrace the loss up front. The covenant deepens. The knowing of God deepens. And the principles began to be set in cement for every generation to understand. What does Abram gain in this covenant that makes knowing God so exciting. Make up your mind for this precious relationship.
