Thrive
“And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
Gen 26:22

In God's original blueprint, the family was His first point of contact to bless man. However, after man committed high treason against the Lord and fell, God devised a new plan based on a covenant to restore His blessing to mankind. This covenant became the foundation upon which God began to prosper humanity, and it was established with a specific family headed by Abraham. It is noteworthy that every family taps into prosperity by identifying with the Abrahamic covenant.
As stated in Genesis 12:2-3, God promised Abraham, "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." Through this covenant, God ensured that His blessings would extend to every family on earth that aligns with the promises He made to Abraham.
Jesus Christ redeemed mankind to grant us access to the blessings of Abraham, enabling us to thrive in every aspect of life. God’s will for you is not merely to survive but to flourish. He desires that you be blessed and prosperous in all you do. Through Christ’s redemptive work, we are no longer bound by the curse of the law but are now partakers of the abundant blessings promised to Abraham.
Galatians 3:13-14 affirms this: "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: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." This redemption ensures that the blessings of Abraham flow to all who believe in Christ, empowering us to walk in God’s promise and experience true prosperity, both spiritually and materially.
Confession:
I declare that I am blessed, and I thrive in all that I set out to do. Everything I touch prospers, and I succeed by the grace of God. Amen.
