MOMENT OF DAILY ENCOUNTER (MODE)
Date: 3RD SEPTEMBER 2026
TOPIC : THE BLESSINGS, THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM AND THE BLESSING
⚓Scripture : Galatians 3: 14. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Beloved, I welcome you to another Moment of Daily Encounter! Yesterday, we introduce the theme of the month as the Mystery of The Blessing that serves as key to open doors! Today, we shall be looking at definition of three concepts that sounds alike , look similar but have different meaning for us to gain thorough understanding of the concept of the Mystery of the Blessing that serves as key to open doors. The three basic concepts are the blessings, the blessing of Abraham and The Blessing.
*What is the blessings?*
I. The blessings are general blessings from the Lord to mankind. For example, the air we breathe! Everyone that breath on earth will understand that the air we breath is a blessing from God. If God should cut off the oxygen supply from the air we breath, many lives with be destroyed within a short time. The same applies to water which is also the blessings of God. It is only few things that can survive without water for extended periods of time! So God made water available both for our drinking, cooking and other uses. Similarly, the rainfall and the sun shine are all blessings from God (Matt.5:45) etc. The blessings of God is universal wether you acknowledge God as creator or not, you can still enjoy it. It is limited to a particular geographical position.
It is often presented in plural form because they are many.
*What is the blessing of Abraham?*
II. The blessing of Abraham is justification by faith. The Bible said:
*Galatians 3: 8. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.*
Observe the clause 'in thee shall all nations be blessed "
The nations the Bible talk about here is the belivers in Christ that come into force in Christ Jesus. Hence the Bible said:
*Galatians 3: 29. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.*
So, the gospel was preached to Abraham, he believed and he was justified! Even so everyone that believe the gospel are likewise justified:
*Galatians 3: 7. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.*
Beloved saints of the most High, we are children of Abraham and the blessing of Abraham is our portion.
It is therefore safe for us to say the blessing of Abraham is the gracious heavenly gift that Abraham received as part of God’s plan to create a new nation on earth. And you and I are part of that nation geographical position not withstanding. In Christ Jesus we are one irrespective of your race or gender.
*What is The Blessing?*
III. The Blessing is usually represented in singular form, because it is a singular force that is responsible for success and progress. It is also called the promise of the Spirit(Gal.3:14) hence it is sponsored by the Holy Spirit. The Blessing is a dimension of the operation of the Holy Spirit that makes your life look like the garden of Eden. In other words The Blessing is a singular force that transform your life by attracting the following:
A. Men
B. Circumstances
C. Opportunities.
*What is the relationship between the blessing of Abraham and The Blessing?*
The relationship between the blessing of Abraham and The Blessing is this; the blessing of Abraham is the bridge that connects every man to The Blessing. The Bible said:
*Galatians 3: 14. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.*
Please observed the clause "That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ" ! This implies that the blessing of Abraham coming to us is an usher that leads us into the real stuff which is The Blessing! Now take a look at the clause "that we might receive the promise of the Spirit"! That promise of the Spirit is The Blessing and without the blessing of Abraham the door remains closed to us from accessing The Blessing! What opens the door for us to receive The Blessing is the blessing of Abraham, and this happened because of Christ. So when we believed the gospel of Jesus, we were justified by faith and can now receive the promise of the Spirit, which is The Blessing. To ignore Christ is attempting to cross a river without a bridge or boat. This quickly makes our salvation in Christ the only ladder to connect your life to the tap of The Blessing. Remember, the promise was to the Jews, but Christ collapsed the wall of separation (Eph.2:14), both Jews and Gentiles can now access The Blessing in Christ Jesus.
To be continued tomorrow
