Abraham was chosen by God to be the father of all His people, by faith. His calling begins with a BANG! He is saved and sanctified, then God blesses Abraham with a peculiar list of blessings, for ONE specific reason: WITNESSING. God saves us, so that others may be saved; it all has nothing to do with Physical Prosperity. (2 Corinthians 2:14-17 and Romans 4:9-12)
