…And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed (Acts 3:25).
When God called and blessed Abraham, the blessing was for the entire generations of mankind. The Lord declared, “…in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.” As referenced in our previous study, that seed is Christ, and all who are in Christ are partakers of that blessing.
Peter, speaking by the Spirit, told the Jews, “Ye are the children of the prophets and of the covenant…” (Acts 3:25). He was calling attention to their divine heritage, one that included being heirs of God’s covenant with Abraham. Through Christ, this covenant has extended to the Gentiles—to anyone who comes to God through faith in Jesus Christ.
Furthermore, this covenant isn’t just about receiving; it’s about “becoming”; God told Abraham, “I will bless you and make you a blessing” (Genesis 12:2). That means we’ve become vessels of blessing. You’re a blessing to your family, city, nation, and your world. You’re the bearer of God’s covenant kindness; the Hebrew word is “hesed.”
“Hesed” is not ordinary kindness. It’s God’s covenant love—His favour, His goodness, His mercy—all wrapped into one. When you show kindness, forgive quickly, walk in love, and bless others with your words and actions, you’re walking in “hesed.” You’re revealing the nature of the Father.
You’re a carrier of covenant grace. When you arrive, God arrives. His blessing flows through you to turn lives around, lift others, and glorify His Name. The blessing of Abraham was a covenant of all-round prosperity, fruitfulness, dominion and divine favour. That same blessing is at work in your life today. It lifts, multiplies and establishes you in victory. Glory to God!
Prayer / Confession
I am the seed of Abraham and a carrier of God’s covenant kindness. I am blessed and I am a blessing. The grace and goodness of God flow through me to lift others, change atmospheres, and bring glory to God. I live to reveal His lovingkindness everywhere I go, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
