Maintain the blessing flow.

“And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.” Genesis 13:8(KJV)

From our opening scripture, we see Abraham the blessed man speaking to his nephew Lot saying that there should be no strife between them because the land where they lived at this time has become too small for them and their herdsmen with all their possessions that God has blessed them with. So, Abraham said to Lot in Genesis 13:9, “Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.”

I want you to notice that Abraham who was senior to Lot put Lot first because he understood the blessing, knowing that wherever he went after Lot chose, he was going to prosper there. When Lot saw that his uncle gave him the opportunity to choose first, the Bible says in Genesis 13:10-12, “And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.”

From Lot’s choice, he looked like the person with the advantage. This is why it is important for you not to be envious of anyone. Never be envious, just put your faith in the blessing. This is because there are lots of people who look like a success because they have chosen the cities of the plain. They have various schemes on how to get money. But I will encourage you to stay with the word of God and put your faith in the blessing like Abraham. You may look disadvantaged to the natural man but you are building your life on the right foundation which is the word of God and the blessing. In the latter end, you will surely be ahead of all those who built their lives with their schemes and not the blessing. So, Lot ended up in a cave without living any inheritance for his two daughters; which all he had left, but Abraham left a blessing for all the families of the earth to inherit.

PRAYER
