Do you know that when you follow a man whom God has sent, God’s blessings that are upon him will go with you too? You see, you need to watch the person you follow because you will be just like him. The men that followed Abraham were like him; they were blessed with the blessings that were upon him. When there was a dispute between them and Lot’s herdsmen over where their livestock grazed, it was agreed that they should split up and Abraham gave up the better part of the land to his nephew, Lot.
Abraham’s servants could have decided to move with Lot because he was moving into the better land. That meant they and their livestock would have a lot to eat and there wouldn’t be any lack. But all of those that followed Abraham were people that walked by faith just like their master. They had learnt from him that God would supply all their needs. So they didn’t worry, they just gave up the land to Lot and his herdsmen and followed their master. As they followed Abraham, they began possessing more and more of his nature. They started possessing more of the life of Abraham and walking in the same blessings.
When Abraham sent his eldest servant to go get a wife for his son Isaac, he prayed, because he had followed Abraham his master closely and did the same things he saw him do. He had the same results of outstanding success his master had. When you are under the spiritual cover of another, ask yourself these questions: Are God’s blessings upon him? Is God’s Word prevailing in his life? Is he moving according to God’s Word? If all your answers are positive, then move even more closely with him, because as it is with him, so will it be with you.
