One of the works of Abraham was that he believed God! This may sound rather too simplistic; but when you examine the circumstances under which he believed God, coupled with our own struggle in trusting His word in less severe circumstances, we will commend Abraham.

Take note that the word is capable of discerning even to the thoughts and intents of the heart. If you expose yourself to the word constantly the devil will find it hard to operate in your life.

If you are hit by some troublous situations, fix your gaze on God who has all things planned out from beginning to the end. 

The writer of the book of Hebrews placed the pursuit of peace and holiness as conditions to see the Lord – “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” Hebrews‬ 12‬:14‬ NKJV‬.

As long as the cracks are not a reflection of the inner conditions, we can easily overcome. It is when the spirit is broken that we are in real danger.

God can bless everyone from His largesse without any stress to Him. The wealth of the world are all His.

If there is anything to add to this, it will be to say that doing Abraham’s work precedes enjoying his blessing. Hospitality and intercession come into the equation when we talk of Abraham’s blessing.

Faith in Jesus makes you a seed of Abraham. Being in faith makes you a joint-heir (at least potentially) with Abraham in his blessing.

This is what will give Him glory. Your prayer should aim at reflecting more of the beauty of Jesus.

Here is the point: everyone you meet is fighting some undisclosed battles, so be considerate. Where possible, render help to make their battles easier to fight.
