Go, Be A Blessing

Genesis 12:1-3

"NOW [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you.

And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].

And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you]and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves]."

Now, here is the scoop... Terah, Abram's daddy was a Cladeian who worshipped the sun god Nemrod. He was in the land of Ur, as a priest to this sun god. Stuff happened in the history books that said, like the Word here does in chapter 11, that made Terah have to get out town quick... He grabs Abram, his daughter, Abram's wife and his grandson Lot.... And leaves... He was suppose to go to Cannaan and dominate that territory, but settled for Haran. While living there, The Lord tells Abram to come out, leave and finish the trip He asked that blood line to do... He was requiring Abram to give up his family religion and to become a "Hebrew," which means "Server of One God.." If he would, All Families of the earth would be blessed, and could bless theirselves by joining up with him, in serving The One True God...
