The Highest Blessing

We are continuing the study of the origin of God’s blessings and how God blessed one man Abraham in Genesis 12 through which all God’s children are blessed.
Isaiah 51.1-2 Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the LORD: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.
Many years after Abraham received his blessings, Prophet Isaiah was speaking on the results of this blessing. He was asking the nation of Israel to look back to the one man Abraham from whom they became many through God’s blessing.
This blessing is connected to us today. We might have come to faith as a single person but God will make us many, spread to many nations.
In Genesis 14, we see that Abraham’s walk of obedience to God’s call became his path of blessing.
Genesis 14. 18-20 Then Melchizedek, king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High, and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth. And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.”

Melchizedek was the King (Melek) of Righteousness (zedek) and Peace ( Salem). He was also the priest of God Most High. He was a person holding both roles, that of a King and of a Priest. No one other than Jesus holds both positions.
Here, a man who held both positions : a Kingly role shows his rulership; while a Priest is a person who stands as a middle man between God and man. Melchizedek represents El Elyon (according to Hebrew texts) which means God most High. This person who was King and Priest blesses Abraham; which is the highest blessing any one can receive.
Normally, the highest blessing after God’s blessings are parental blessings. Blessings from teachers, Pastors etc are important but the most important is the blessing from El Elyon, God Most High. Abraham got this blessing.
This is the highest blessing because it is from God Most High Himself. There is no one above God. Abraham did not receive his blessing from any man or a priest or an ordinary king.
God Most High→ Melchizedek →Abraham→Christ→We
We, who are gentiles, received our blessings from Christ through the Holy Spirit. What we have received is the highest blessing which Abraham received from Melchizedek. We have not received an ordinary blessing.
Genesis 4.19-20 And he blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.
Three blessings came upon Abraham:
