"You Shall Be A Blessing"

When our Lord God established His covenant with Abraham and his descendants in Genesis 12:2-3, He created the following three truths which we will examine in this message:  

"I Will Make You A Great Nation" - Israel

"I Will Bless You And Make Your Name Great

And You Shall Be A Blessing"

"In You All Families Of The Earth Shall Be Blessed"

Has Israel Become A Great Nation? Absolutely! This tiny nation that is about the size of New Jersey has become the world's eighth most powerful country. This God - Ordained nation has been described as a rising power with a growing impact on world affairs. All of this taking place while Israel lives under constant threat of terror and war.

Has Israel Been A Blessing? Absolutely! Recent history reveals that Israel is the first nation to respond with assistance to countries who have just experienced a disaster. They were recognized by the United Nations for the efficiency of their medical tents at disaster sites. Additionally, Israel recently announced they will grant refugee status for 100 Syrian children granting them temporary residence status. They will allow them to become permanent residents after four years.

Have Families Of The Earth Been Blessed By Israel?  Absolutely! The stories of Israel having excellent relations with other countries are numerous, I have selected just one as an example. Israel and India established full diplomatic relations in January of 1992. Trade between these two nations was at one hundred million dollars in 1992 and today it stands at five billion dollars. Israel also stood with India in its wars of 1965, 1971 and 1999 and has assisted India with advanced weapons systems.

These are all examples of God's covenant people learning from His Word and obeying His Word. They are also a wonderful blessing and example for all. However, many of the nations of the world desire to destroy Israel as evidenced by the recent meeting in Paris. Israel and the Jewish people need our fervent prayers each day . . . Psalm 122:6.

May The Lord Bless You This Day And Every Day,
