Genesis 24:1
Abraham was now old and well advanced in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.

Read that carefully. “The Lord had blessed him in every way.â€Â
Not just spiritually, but the Lord had blessed him in every sphere of his life. No doubt some of the blessings took some time to come, but they finally came.
Yes, Jesus wants to bless us in every sphere of our lives but this calls for obedience.
14 years after Abraham had left the Ur of the Chaldeans (he was 99 now), the Lord spoke to him and said, “I am the Lord Almighty, walk before me and be blameless.â€Â
Abraham obeyed God Almighty and he was truly blessed. We too can be blessed similarly if we are blameless and obey the Lord.
 
That's true. Abraham was blessed in every way---- and that goes for his descendants as well because of his faith (not because they or we deserve it). His physical descendants became many nations, and prosperous ones at that because of his blessings. And within that group are those who do not bow to Baal and do the will of the Father which is the means to bless all nations.
