2 Samuel 6:11 “And the Ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obededom and all his household”
David took the Ark and put it in Obededom’s house for three months. In the Old Testament, the Ark carried the presence of God, and wherever it was it brought victory, prosperity, health and good things. Obededom’s house was a blessed house, because of the Ark of the Lord. That’s awesome.
In verse 12 it goes on to say, “And it was told king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness”. Think about that, how would you like everything that you were involved in to be supernaturally blessed? Of course you would.
In the New Testament, it’s God’s presence within you that brings total blessing for you and your whole household. The name Obededom is made up of two words, obed and edom. Put together they mean worshipper-server. Wow, what a nugget. Be a God-worshipper and a God-server, and He promises that everything in your household will flourish, grow and be blessed.
