The Power of Money - Lord Make Me a Blessing

Gen 12:1-3

1Now 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:
 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Special attention is given to verse 2. God will make you the head and not the tail, the lender and not the borrower, you will be blessed going in and going out. We've been asking God when is our time coming. God will bless you because people need to see God blessing you.

1. We need to get out of our comfort zone. Watch who is in your circle and expose yourself to greatness.

Money is needed to advance the gospel. Cities can change with money. Don't let people speak negativity into your life and let you believe that you will always struggle.


2. Get away from your family.

There are times you will need to stay away from your family for a season. Don't let them hold you back or disrespect you. Don't let them run your marriage. Change can not be feared. Some people will never get the increase until they step out in faith and do the thing that God has called them to do. God needs to see if He can trust you.

3. Get to your Father's house.

The House is where there is protection and provision. We have to give up what has been given to us freely (such as parents taking care of our bills). If this doesn't happen we won't have the tenacity to do things on our own. Each generation should be greater than the last. When we leave to go to our Father's house we can bless those who have blessed us. We also need to be a blessing to our parents as well. We fear leaving our parent's home because we don't know where to go. A vision and plan is needed. Also trust that God will guide your next steps.

Stay away from cliques. There will be a backlash when God blesses you. You have to determine that you have been where you are too long. When you step out in faith you can't put the faith pressure on God.

Gen 12:3

 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

When you sow for a season he will turn you into soil and make your name great. Can he change your name?

Remember you are the head and not the tail, above and not beneath, you will be the borrower and not the lender and you are debt free by faith.
