In Genesis 13 we read that Abram and Lot are compelled to separate because their families and possessions have increased to the point where there was simply not enough room for them both to stay together. Here again events flow out of God’s promise of blessing to Abram and his family (in which Lot was included). God blessed both Abram and Lot, and now that blessing is so great that they need to find their own separate spaces to expand. Blessing works like this. It isn’t static. It increases exponentially with every life it enters. It is like a virus, except infinitely positive and beneficial. A virus, according to one definition, is “a small infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism”. That’s how blessing works and this blessing was carried by Abram and Lot who passed it on to their progeny. As it increased in their lives it also outgrew their circumstances and forced them to move to new places to allow the blessing to expand even more. This is what blessing will do. You contracted God’s blessing when you committed yourself to Christ. If you live by faith in this blessing it will expand within you and also through you to others exponentially. It will enlarge your influence and outgrow your present circumstances forcing you to explore new places for blessing to further expand. That’s the promise you carry. You pass it on to your children and it will expand in their life if they too live by faith. You are blessed in Christ. But you cannot conceive how powerful that blessing can be.
Think about how you can utilise or create opportunities to meet new people and give out in new relationships.
Read Genesis 13
