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 Genesis 12:2
God's language is that of greatness, it is that of stepping up , leading the world in all areas of life. God does not think small in any sense, He is the architect of all that the best scientists have spent centuries trying to figure, His thought process and ways are beyond what the human mind can comprehend. Here is an announcement to you : HE MAKES HIS KIDS GREAT. No person can hang around God and His Word for some time and think small. The knowledge of God expands our vision, we think leadership and pioneering. That is what happened in my spirit in 2011 when I got hold of the Word of God at a place called Sirocco Village in Cape Town, South Africa. Look at this scripture with me:
For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence 2 Peter 1:3
Apostle Peter is letting us know by the Spirit that the quality of our lives is absolutely dependent on our knowledge of God. This is one truth that every man on planet has to know and embrace. However, some have labored to know God apart from His Word which has brought not only confusion but failure in life. God is a Spirit and far removed from the human senses. The good news is that God is not making it difficult for us to know Him. This is what the Lord Jesus said;
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 1 John 6:63
The Lord is saying that His words are the unveiling on what is going on in the realm of the spirit. The Word of God is the window into the spirit. Our revelation of the Word of God is our knowledge of God because God is His Word. This is the experience of the word that Abraham had that made him the Father of faith. Speaking to the Father of faith; God introduces him to the 7 dimensions of greatness.
The first one is ; I will make you a great nation!! This excites my spirit just to think about it. Here is your God and my God speaking of territorial influence and dominion. Abraham had no royal background and God announces that He will make him not just a nation but a "great nation". We are called not just to be a blessing to on a smaller scale but become the core and the light to the nations. That is how God thinks about you and me.
The second one is ; I will bless you!! Blessing to me speaks of life , energy, supernatural empowerment to make the purpose of God in you come alive in your world. God is saying I will resource you for my purpose.There is more than enough supply available for you to become all that God wants you to do. Wisdom for the right strategy is already available , necessary support systems are already waiting for you, financial resources and the gifting is already wired in your spirit. You are a pack of success waiting to explode!!
The third one is ; I will make your name great!! Many people do not want to be popular and known. That is a form of pride because their focus is on themselves. When you become a vessel that is ready to be used by Almighty God, Jesus says you do not light up a lamp and put it under a table, no , you are a city on a hill seen by all men. God wants to give you a tag of greatness on your name. Known and distinguished for loving boldly and leading fearlessly!!
The fourth one is ; You will be a blessing!!This means being a source of good to others. You are called to be a well of righteousness, dispensing the goodness of God to others. It was at Antioch where they were called Christians(Christ like), not weird, religious or judgmental but opening their arms to all who came their way, hearts filled with grace and words filled with hope.You wipe the tears, you bring in joy everywhere you go because that is who you are, Christ lives in you.
I will continue with the final three of those words of greatness spoken to Abraham in the next article. I pray this speaks to your heart and cause you to step up, not allow religion to falsely humble you and cause you to miss the great plan God has for you.
Remember: You are dearly loved by God.
