Land, Wealth, and a great nation (i.e. many, many children.)

God told Abraham that in his words the world would be blessed. Abraham has a covenant relationship with God.

Answer:

There are two covenants which God made with Abraham (Genesis ch.15 and Genesis ch.17).
1) In Genesis ch.15, the Covenant Between the Parts:
a) God informs Abraham of future events (the Egyptian exile)
b) God promises the land of Canaan (Israel) to Abraham's descendants
c) The covenant is finalized through a demonstration of God's presence (see Genesis 15:7-9 and 15:17).
2) In Genesis ch.17, the covenant of circumcision:
a) The promises of many descendants (17:2,3) and of inheriting the land of Canaan are repeated (17:8), but the main thing in this covenant is the promise that God will be the God of Abraham (17:7, 17:8).
b) God promises that Abraham and Sarah will have a son (17:15-16), whom they will name Isaac (17:19) and who will be the continuation of God's covenant with Abraham (17:21).
c) The covenant itself is manifested through circumcision, for Abraham and his descendants (17:10).

Well, God actually made several promises to Abraham, and the story is clicks away now. That he would never lack descendants is one, which in Bible speak is huge. It basically translates as "Yours is the branch that will attain" from the manuscripts.

God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous (countless) as the stars. His bloodlines leads directly to Jesus Christ.
