God was speaking to Abram after Melchizedek, king of Salem had blessed him, saying He is Abram’s reward. Even though Abraham was rich in all things and children; but God is saying his reward is Himself. What greater blessing can one have, but God Himself. That means God and all God has is Abraham’s reward and shield or protection(Romans 4:13).We are Abraham’s seed and heirs of God through Christ(Galatians 3:29, 4:7) today, therefore God and our Lord Jesus Christ is our reward.
In Psalm 142:5, David in the time of trouble when he was hiding in a cave said “ O Lord thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living”. So from today let your attention, desire and pursuit be your one and only need: Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Understand the revelation that God in Jesus is all you need for this life and the life to come. With God, all your soulish(emotional), spiritual and physical needs are automatically supplied by Him.
God wanted to bless mankind that was under the curse of sin from the Adam. He gave us Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son as our Blessing. As we receive and confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and believe in our hearts that God raised Him from the dead, we are saved and blessed. Jesus is the way to God, the truth of God and the life of God. (John 14:6).STOP PURSIUNG THINGS; RATHER PURSUE GOD AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. That is the secret to enjoying abundant life in Christ.When you pursue you will end up in the grave; but when you pursue Jesus Christ and God the Father you will end up in God and blessing. So Make a choice today.
Therefore Acknowledge Jesus, Seek Him, and Appreciate Him, Converse with Him, Honor Him, Praise Him, Enjoy His presence. Let His glory and honor and praise and majesty be your second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day , week by week, month by month, and year by year pursuit and desire. Let His infinite unconditional love and His commandment be your desire and pursuit.
Distribute this agape love, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost you are enjoying from Jesus Christ to all the people you come across in words, deed and thoughts.
The Bible says in Colossians 3:17 and 22, that whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and do it heartily, giving thanks to God the Father by Him, knowing of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance; for ye serve the Lord.
In 1 Corinthians 10:31, the Bible says whether we eat or drink, or whatsoever we do, do all to the glory of God.
From this day onward let your singular pursuit in life be Jesus Christ and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Then life will start bearing its true meaning to you and to all around. When you seek Him and find Him, the power to do good works are with Him and will be in You. Obedience becomes a way of life. He is our obedience and without Him we cannot obey (1 John 15:5)
