Your House Will Stand Firm – Sis. Evangeline Paul Dhinakaran
Dear friend, may the Lord bless you according to Proverbs 12:7 which says, “The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm.” What a beautiful promise of God!
This is very true, my friend. An evil leader is murdered by his even more evil successor. Ruin comes to the one who hurts others. Evil men are overthrown and they are forgotten forever. But God’s blessings are often continued to the families of the righteous. In the Bible, God is repeatedly called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This is because God faithfully fulfilled His promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The Lord reminds Isaac of the oath He had sworn to his father, Abraham in Genesis 26:3 to 5 and in the 4 th verse in particular the Lord says “I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky.” Thus, the blessing continued! In Genesis 27:26-29, Isaac reminds his son, Jacob of God’s covenant of blessing and blesses him saying, “May God give you heaven’s dew and earth’s riches- an abundance of grain and new wine. May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you.” And so, the blessing continued! In Galatians 3:16, the Bible says, Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ. Also, Galatians 3:29 says, “If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.” You too can have all the blessings that Abraham had as long as you live in Christ, my friend.
Once when I was celebrating my birthday, the Lord gave me this beautiful verse from Hebrews 6:14 which says, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” I immediately remembered Abraham and the covenant the Lord made with him. I not only claimed this promise to myself but also to my offspring. My friend, God has given you also this promise today. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is Your God too. You who are in Christ will surely inherit all the blessings the Lord had promised to Abraham. He will bless you and multiply you. So, be of good cheer!
PRAYER:
Loving Lord, thank You for Your beautiful promise. I praise You because Your faithfulness continues for generations. I believe that You have forgiven me for all of my sins. Through Your precious blood, I have been made an offspring of Abraham. I believe that being Your child I can inherit the blessings that You have sworn as an oath to Abraham. I declare every blessing of health, wealth, favour, fruitfulness, long life to come to pass upon my household so that we will glorify Your name for generations, all the days of our lives. In Jesus’ name, I pray Amen.
