Blessed of the Lord
When the Lord blesses you, no one can curse you. That which is blessed of God is blessed, and that which is cursed by God is cursed. God said to Abraham - And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed. Genesis 12:2-3
If you have believed in Jesus and have made Him Lord of your life, then you are of the seed of Abraham, and so are blessed. Galatians 3:29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Romans 9:8 In other words, it is not the children by physical descent who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.
Galatians 3:13-14 confirms 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.”
As followers of Christ, Jesus has borne our curses, we are no longer cursed. We are now blessed , and must believe and walk in this blessing. Abraham walked in his blessing by simply believing in God, and it was accorded to him as righteousness by faith. Just like Abraham, we ought to simply believe we are blessed, walk as the blessed, and we shall see fruits of blessings.
