CONNECTING ANCESTRAL BLESSINGS

Genesis 12:1-3

“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 show 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 the families of the earth be blessed (Verse 1-3)

God’s blessings are always with obedient children (Isaiah 1:19: If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land), God’s standard is sure and will never change for he will never bless the disobedient at the expense of the obedient. To access God’s blessings in any area of our life, we must be willing to pay the price of carrying out his set instructions to letter. Been blessed of the Lord requires knowing God’s principles for blessing mankind.

WHAT ARE ANCESTRAL BLESSINGS

1.     Ancestral Blessings are inherited divine help for a man’s destiny that will bring about surprise to others around him passed from one generation to another (What You did not work for)

2.     They are blessings that release divine approval to beautify your destiny and generations to come.

HOW TO CONNECT ANCESTRAL BLESSINGS

It is worthy of note that to receive the blessings of Abraham, we must be willing to have the faith of Abraham and also pay the price he paid.

1.     Have a Relationship with God (Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you). No man can contest to be included in another man’s will when he is not part of the family, the same goes for unbelievers will not have access to partake of the blessings of salvation. Until you have a relationship with God you cannot enjoy the benefit of redemption.

2.     Hearing God’s Instructions (Isaiah 30: 21 And thine ear shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, Walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Joshua 1:7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.)

3.     Observing And Diligently Carrying Out God’s Instructions: We often are not observant to instructions from the throne of grace and that is the major reason many fail, when we obey God’s instruction it delivers us from destruction. (Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shall meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe)
