There is a room for you at the top. 2

There is a room for you at the top. 

Deuteronomy  28:11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.  28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.  28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

The top is the place for every bonafide child of God.

God created you for glory and He is pleasured in your fulfilment.

Isaiah  43:7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

2 Peter  1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

God is pleasured in your fulfilment.

Psalms  35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Redemption opens up the blessings of Abraham for all of us..

Abraham attained greatness, all His seed through Christ must attain same. 

Galatians  3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:  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.

Galatians  3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Listen to the blessings of Abraham. 

Genesis  13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

Genesis  24:34 And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.  24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

As Abraham seed, Jesus said you must do the works of Abraham to have access to the blessings of God in His life. 

John  8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

What do you know about Abraham? 

Genesis  26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

Genesis  22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.  22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.  22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.  22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.  22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.  22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.  22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?  22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.  22:9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.  22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.  22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.  22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

Genesis  22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:  22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;  22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

  To be blessed like Abraham, 

1. You must be redeemed through Christ vicarious sacrifice.

Galatians  3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:  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.

Ephesians  1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Colossians  1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:  1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

You must reach out to Jesus to save you from all sins,  without and within,  meaning biblical salvation and sanctification.

Matthew  1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Biblically saved

John  3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

2 Corinthians  5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

The salvation must be now, tomorrow is not guaranteed.

2 Corinthians  6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

You must also be Biblically sanctified.

Hebrews  13:12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.  13:13 Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.

2. you must be obedient to God wholeheartedly at all times and in all things. 

Genesis  26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws

Jeremiah  7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.

3. You must be paying your tithes in full to your church. 

Genesis  14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.  14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:  14:20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.

Malachi  3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.  3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.  3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.  3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.  3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

4. You must believe in God  and patiently wait for Him to fulfill His promises in your life. 

Genesis  15:4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.  15:5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.  15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Romans  4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.  4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.  4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:  4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;  4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

Hebrews  6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.  6:13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,  6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.  6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

5.. Abraham was industrious and hardworking. 

Genesis  13:2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 

Genesis  24:34 And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.  24:35 And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

He was into farming, raising livestock.

 He was into animal husbandry.

You too must be doing something and be diligent. 

Psalms  1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

1 Thessalonians  4:11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;  4:12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

Proverbs  22:29 Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

There is a room for you at the top. 

Pursue and  possess it through the help of Christ. 

Deuteronomy  28:11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.  28:12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.  28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

Philippians  4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Remember to always pursue your dreams with priority to eternity. 

Matthew  6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Come up, it is time for your manifestation. 

Romans  8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Let us pray.
