How God Can Bless and Multiply You
“For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he could swear by no one greater, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” Thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by a greater one, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation. In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath; that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil; where as a forerunner Jesus entered for us, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 6:13-20 WEB)
God wanted Abraham to be absolutely sure that He would bless him, so He swore by Himself.
The truth that is impossible for God to lie and His sworn oath gives us a doubly confident hope of receiving His blessing as the seed of Abraham.
When tough times come, just remember that our God who cannot lie has sworn to bless and multiply you, and He is surely doing it.
Even when the world is floundering and men’s hearts are melting because of fear, we can remain stable and unshaken because Jesus is our anchor. He keeps us in shalom peace and leads us to navigate through any storm.
Right now in Heaven, Jesus our high priest is with the Father, praying for us, representing us before the Father.
Whereas the Levitical priesthood under the Law had curses upon those who disobey God’s laws, Jesus’ priesthood after the order of Melchizedek is one that only bestows blessings.
Melchizedek brought the bread and wine to Abraham, and blessed Abraham. In Christ, we are the seed of Abraham, and we can receive God‘s blessings through the same pattern.
Partaking of the Lord’s Supper is such a precious and important time of our day. As we set aside a minute in our day to proclaim the Lord’s death and what that accomplished for us, we benefit from His victory wrought at the cross.
“The cup of blessing which we bless, isn’t it a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn’t it a sharing of the body of Christ?” (1 Corinthians 10:16 WEB)
The apostle Paul called it “the cup of blessing”. Could it be that when we partake, we receive the fulfillment of God’s oath to bless and multiply us? I believe so.
The blood and body of Christ are full of divine life, and when we receive that, we experience close fellowship and identification with Him. This means “I am as You are.” Whatever Jesus is, you also become and have.
If you are not already making the Lord’s Supper the highlight of every day, I encourage you to prioritize this token of Jesus’ love, and see what wonderful things happen in your life!
God has given us many powerful spiritual weapons in Christ that destroy Satanic strongholds, yokes, and bondages. In “Silencing the Serpent”, you will discover how to emerge victorious in spiritual warfare, and be finally set free from cycles of defeat that have perpetuated in your life.
