Genesis 12:1-3 Multiplying the Blessing!

Genesis 12:1-5 The Message (MSG)
GOD told Abram: "Leave your country, your family, and your father's home for a land that I will show you. 2-3 I'll make you a great nation and bless you. I'll make you famous; you'll be a blessing. I'll bless those who bless you; those who curse you I'll curse. All the families of the Earth will be blessed through you."

What a tremendous promise God gave to Abraham! God’s intention from early in human history was to bless his people and to bless others through them. We believers are the direct beneficiaries of this blessing and are called to be channels of blessing multiplying God’s goodness as we touch the lives of those around us. This principle of multiplication is found throughout the Bible not least in the parable of the sower, in the great commission and throughout Acts. What am I doing to pass on blessing in such a way that it will multiply so that those who I bless will bless others?
