Thought For The Day (August 11, 2012): Being Blessed To Be A Blessing

YHWH swore an Oath of Blessing over Abraham.

Hebrews 6:13-14 reads:
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,
14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

In the Seed of CHRIST implanted in us, this Oath of blessing stands over our lives. Every promise designed to manifest the blessing is developed in the growth of the Seed of CHRIST.

Galatians 3:13-16 (NKJV) reads:
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”),
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.
16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ.
Hebrews 7:28 reaffirms the Oath YHWH has sworn, being opened into us through JESUS CHRIST.

Heb 7:28 (NASB) reads: < For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever. >

2 Cor 1:20 (NASB) reads: < For as many as are the promises of God, in Him (in the SON) they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us. >

The Oath of YHWH is developed in a New Covenant written into the tablets of our heart. We need to pray (ask, seek etc) the Word of the Oath into our being; simply because YHWH has ordained this reality by His own Oath, sworn in the Blood of the LAMB – for us, in the merits of the LAMB!

Jeremiah 31:33-34 (KJV) reads: < But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. >

Brethren, we are predestined to actualize the Oath of Covenant personalized in each one of us, for expression in our lives in eternity.

We are each an asset in GOD; predestined for development in the fullness of YESHUA, by the HOLY SPIRIT (John 1:16-17; Rom 8:2).

All of YHWH’s blessings in the eternal and the abiding stand only in the Oath of YHWH’s Covenant sworn in the Blood of the LAMB.

YHWH cannot bless us in our emotions. He can only bless us in the Truth communicated in the Testimony of JESUS.

Read the Word, brethren. Appropriate the Word through prayer. Choose to live the Word in your thoughts, your words, your deeds and, in your relationships.

Repent when you fail and pursue the change because our transformation in CHRIST JESUS, by the HOLY SPIRIT, stands by the Oath of YHWH sworn in the Blood of the LAMB (Heb 10:14).

That is: it is impossible for us to fail, if we stand on the Word in the understanding that YHWH has sworn the fulfillment of that Word into us by Blood Covenant Oath in MASHIAH YESHUA!

YHWH has sent the HOLY SPIRIT to be with us and to be in us to ensure this fulfillment.

We can’t fail.

The only reason we fail is written in the Prophets. Hosea 4:6a reads: < My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge … >.

Brethren, persevere in the Word, by the SPIRIT and be blessed to be a blessing – always. Amen!
