Abraham’s Blessings

___

By Pastor Jeno Shaw

INTRODUCTION

So what is this all about anyways, this Abraham’s blessing? You may have heard of it but never dove into it to fully understand what it means. Well you’re in the right place.

Abraham’s Blessing

This is a gift that Abraham received as part of God’s genius plan to create a brand new nation on this earth. See the above genealogy layout to see all the way from Abraham to Jesus.

Now you might notice that your name is not there. So if your name is not there then what does this blessing have anything to do with you today. Glad you asked that question.

Galatians 3:26-29 AMPC

For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. For as many [of you] as were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union and communion with Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah] have put on (clothed yourselves with) Christ. There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham’s Seed], then you are Abraham’s offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise.

To compare here is the KJV

Galatians 3:29

“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

 

For this verse I do like the AMPC better. But that doesn’t mean the AMPC wins out in every verse. Just letting you know.

 

So according to this, anybody male or female, jew or not a jew, for that matter I’ll include black or white as long as the person is in Christ, accepted Christ is the prerequisite then you automatically receive the spiritual blessing of justification. Because we are in Jesus and Jesus is a descendant of Abraham then we are Abraham’s seed and therefore heirs to the promise.

 

Galatians 3:6-9

Amplified Bible

6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, [as conformity to God’s will and purpose—so it is with you also]. 7 So understand that it is the people who live by faith [with confidence in the power and goodness of God] who are [the true] sons of [a]Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news [of the Savior] to Abraham in advance [with this promise], saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then those who are people of faith [whether Jew or Gentile] are blessed and favored by God [and declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with Him] along with Abraham, the believer.

So it is people of faith who are the children of Abraham. And if we are children then we are heirs.

Ok Heirs to what, exactly?

True these blessings fell onto Abraham.

 

Genesis 12:1-3

Amplified Bible

Abram Journeys to Egypt

 

1 Now [in Haran] the Lord had said to Abram,

“Go away from your country,

And from your relatives

And from your father’s house,

To the land which I will show you;

 

2 And [a]I will make you a great nation,

And I will bless you [abundantly],

And make your name great (exalted, distinguished);

And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others];

3 And I will bless (do good for, benefit) those who bless you,

And I will curse [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] the one who curses (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) you.

And in you all the families (nations) of the earth will be blessed.”

 

• 1. And I will make of thee a great nation [God is making a new nation]

• 2. And I will bless thee [abundantly]

• 3. And make thy name great  (exalted, distinguished)

• 4. And thou shalt be a blessing [a source of great good to others]

• 5. And I will bless them that bless thee (do good for, benefit)

• 6. And curse them that curse thee [that is, subject to My wrath and judgment] (despises, dishonors, has contempt for) 

• 7. And in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed [descendants]

 

The Blessing Today

This blessing today comes to us through our faith in the finished work of  Jesus Christ, which is actually Abraham’s seed. In the old Testament the people were counted righteous and blessed as they were looking forward by faith toward the coming of Jesus. So it is through faith in God’s word through the finished work of Jesus Christ that Abraham’s blessings are ours!

 

So if you had some investments but never checked the status of them then how can you access them? Why would you access them? Even if the investments multiplied many times over you wouldn’t know because you don’t even have the faith to access them.

Similar to this blessing we have to have accepted Jesus Christ and by faith we access these blessings.

 

I truly love you all,

Business Insider

A Kansas teacher is reported to receive $95,000 from her ex-employer after she was suspended for refusing to use a student’s preferred name and pronouns. Let’s talk about this. The teacher said if she would have gone by the students wishes it would have violated her Christian beliefs.

The teacher was suspended for 3 days and given a written reprimand because she kept referring to the student by their  legal name. The student whose biological sex is female(female trying to be a male) had a different preferred name of he/him. 

Research the article reports has shown misgendering or deadnaming transgender or nonbinary people can have harmful effects on mental health.

Um. How about not reading the word of God can have harmful effects on mental health. How about taking God and the bible out of school can have harmful mental effects. 

What does the word say?

God created Adam and Eve.

God did not create the mule, transgender, nonbinary. Not even Adam and Steve.

A mule is an offspring of a male donkey(God made) and a female horse(God made). This results in an abomination that can not reproduce. That’s the first sign that this is not a blessing of God.

 

You see, a real horse has 64 chromosomes. A real donkey has 62 chromosomes. The mule has 63 chromosomes. One less to make it a horse and one too much to make it a donkey!

Why do you think satan loves the gay agenda. You can’t reproduce! Satan wants to stop the incoming of any more prophets, pastors, or any body of Christ for that matter and how can he do that? Through abortion and through the gay agenda!

 

Genesis 1:27

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

God only created male and female. Can you imagine the confusion as a kid growing up nowadays? Imagine being a child and your parents are 2 dads? Or 2 moms? Or a kid that watches TV all day and is brainwashed? These are real challenges facing children today. 

When I was growing up on TV you had cowboys and ranchers. Even as bad as it is smoking you had the “Marlboro Man”. When I was a kid I used  to watch the “Six million dollar man”! What happened to us!!!!!!

The teachers lawyers argued that to refer to the students preferred pronouns would violate her conscience and her 1st Amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion.

There’s the winning blueprint, people. It violates your conscience, 1st amendment rights to free speech and free exercise of religion.

 

Insider.com

Reports a North Carolina school baptized more than 100 kids without their parents permission!

Now reading this it looks like the school tried to sneak a quick baptism behind the parents back.

Now what happened was a few of the students had actually had permission from their parents and were scheduled for a baptism. But then the rest of the students “felt” moved to join in on the ceremony. THAT’S CALLED GOD! Parents if I can’t move through you then I will use your children! Amen!

The article  further reads “Truly the Lord began to move this morning and we were so excited about what the Lord was doing. Several students had given their lives to the Lord during Spiritual Emphasis Week and they were scheduled to be baptized this morning.” “But the Spirit of the Lord moved and the invitation to accept the Lord and be baptized was given and the students just began to respond to the presence of the Lord.”

Multiple parents complained.

Think about this. You are sending your children to a Christian school and the Holy Spirit shows up and you want to complain!!!! 

I think the teachers did the right thing! Are we to stop the Holy Spirit!

Some parents complained that the school un-did the Churches Baptism, I guess the child was baptized earlier as a baby or something.

Some parents wanted to be there

Listen, one of the most important things to see here is this. Your child decided out of their own will to choose God!!! Isn’t that what it’s all about? Your child didn’t choose drugs but chose Jesus this very day! Be happy and rethink why the Holy Spirit moved the way He did. Have you been too busy for your child?

 

Luke 23:42

“And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom(paradise).”

The thief did not get baptized but still went with Jesus to paradise. Note it says paradise which is another word for Abraham’s bosom which is a place righteous people went that died prior to the cross. After the cross we go to heaven but prior to the cross people went to paradise.

Accepting Christ Headline

I heard this one pastor(pastor #1) calling out the other pastor(pastor #2)  because they were having a meeting and one pastor(#2)  bragged about how while he was on the way over to the meeting he was able to get the Uber driver to accept Jesus Christ.

Pastor #1 was offended and upset because we can’t just go around and get people to say the sinner’s prayer and think that’s it. They need discipleship!

 

Okay. True there is no official sinner’s prayer in the bible. The closest there is found in Romans 10:9-10

 

Romans 10:9-10

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”

 

10

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 

What is the fruit? Someone is translated from darkness to light. Someone is trying to live a better and righteous life unto the Lord. Well that’s good fruit!!!!

Now pastor#1 is afraid of ok we get people to Christ but we can leave them in a baby state!

So now I present to you this:

 

1 Corinthians 3:6-9

 

 

6

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

7

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

8

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

9

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.

 

So you see if we can, yes we can guide people to accept Jesus Christ AND then disciple them. But you know what, some may plant a seed. Maybe you have a son that you have raised up in church and he has that seed in him but for whatever reason he doesn’t want to listen to you anymore! Then I come along and I water and your son will be set on fire for the Lord!

And together both you and I are laborers together with God!

 

So am I supposed to take an Uber and not lead the driver to Jesus Christ? What if I get out of the car and then the driver dies in a car wreck? Then what? I had a chance to help and I did not.

Just like my little brother. I had a chance to lead him to Christ but I didn’t do it. I thought I would see him later but glory to God he was watching my messed up life. He saw how I changed by the grace of God. I found out at his funeral he did receive Jesus Christ!

Church we got to stop fighting each other. There are so many opinions in the body of Christ. Some people believe Jesus went to hell, some don’t believe that, some believe communion is a spiritual transformation of the grape juice and crackers , some don’t believe that. And the list goes on! CAN WE UNITE UNDER THE BANNER OF JESUS CHRIST PERIOD! That is our strength and will bring the devil to his knees if the Churches can unite together and stop talking about how different we are. I got brown skin you may have white skin, soooo what!, we are children of God!

I had a meeting with a Pastor over the weekend. It was powerful! Wonderful testimony he has!

Do we agree on lockstep on everything, I don’t think so. But that doesn’t stop me from loving him and being a blessing to him and not a hindrance. Why would I go to church and be a hindrance?

Some people believe it’s there anointing to correct the Pastor and they go church to church and that’s all they do. I might have a conversation with whoever it is, if I’m led by the Holy Spirit, but I let the Holy Spirit do his job and I pray!

Lets UNITE SAINTS I LOVE YOU!

“The Calling”

Wake up to the best part of life

God calls us but do we listen and do we trust?

Burning Bush

Remember the burning bush? Moses just notices a burning bush that is not consumed so he comes closer and immediately he encounters God.

Exodus 3:6

“Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.”

 

The First Encounter

So here is Moses face to face with God and  immediately he is afraid. Bookmark this, we’ll get back to this later.   

God is calling Moses to do a mission, to free the hebrews but Moses comes up with every excuse he can find:

1. Who am I? Moses thinks he is a nobody. Ex. 3:11 (how many of us have felt this way?)
2. I don’t know your name. What name shall I tell them? (Moses lacks confidence and wants to know what name he should tell the Hebrews). Ex. 3:13
3. What if they don’t believe me? Ex. 4:1 (This story is so outlandish, who’s gonna believe me?)
4. Iam of slow in speech and tongue. (Moses tried to disqualify himself). Ex. 4:10
5. Finally Moses rejects the calling and he says send someone else. Ex. 4:13 Now this caused the Lord to be angry and not only kindled but burned against Moses. Why? Possibly because the Lord does not know failure. Can you imagine the Lord calling us and then he goes back and meets with the Godhead and their like so what happened? And the Lord goes “well and he said no so let’s all pack up and go home we failed. “NO. 

But I like how the Lord kinda met him halfway.  He did allow Aaron to come along but ya Moses did go! 

But see how the Lord had big plans for Moses! God did not intend nor thought Moses needed help. Imagine if Moses would have just said yes in the beginning? Would Moses still need help, yes, but it would have been on God’s timing and not Moses. I believe Moses overall did a tremendous job, bravo, but he did miss an opportunity here!

              Saints let us not lose an opportunity today! Pray this…

Father, whatever you ask of me today and in the future, I’m letting it be known now that I agree with you and I say YES!  In Jesus name amen.

I truly love you all,

Pastor/Coach Jeno
