Memorize God’s Word
Write Genesis 12:3
“I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Repetition = Pay Attention!
“Then the LORD said to Abram, “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s household, and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.”
Why do you think the phrase “I will” is being repeated several times in verses 1-3?
It is clear that the Lord (vs.1) is the One giving the promises to Abram. The question we may need to ask ourselves is not just the Who but also the How?
Think back to Lesson 5 when Kandice taught us about covenants. When God initiates an agreement with His people, it is always God who fulfills the agreement. These clearly were the Lord's plans, so by repeating the words “I will” The Author is driving home that The LORD would be the One to fulfill the promises declared to Abram.
Just like Abram, God has declared promises over you. Sit and think about what that means. What must you do to see the promises of God come about?

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.” For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us.” 2 Corinthians 1:19-21
