MISSING INHERITANCE?

Monday, March 15, 2010

MEMORIZE: “Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” (Galatians 4:7)

READ: Galatians 4:1-7

Jesus Christ is linked with everything in creation or as people would say, He has a hand in every pie so as to guarantee His followers the best in everything. For instance, if you are interested in property, assets and inheritance, you will find Him very relevant. Hebrew 1:2 says, “Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds”.

He is the Heir of All Things. The implication of this is that if you are connected to Him, He can help you recover your lost inheritance on earth. There are people whose lands, houses and other assets have been stolen by those who were meant to keep them. Worse still, there are families - particularly polygamous ones where property sharing is a matter of life and death.

Some deliberately do charms for their brothers, sisters or mates to forget they have a share in the family property, run mad, or even die. Some very vicious, greedy ones do not mind eradicating an entire family because of property! Some mad people you find on the streets are victims of assets-sharing scuffles in families. No wonder 1 Timothy 6:6 says the love of money is the root of all evils!

“And if children, then heirs; heir of God, and joint -heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” (Rom. 8:17) When you become a child of the Heir of All things, He takes over your case and fights for you. He has numerous ways of restoring your stolen inheritance. You do not need to engage in any physical battle with your property thieves; just hand over the battle to Jesus who also doubles as the Advocate and Man of War.

By the time He is through, you will be sorry for your oppressors. Have you suffered losses in this respect? The Heir of All Things will take over your battle and recover everything that was stolen from you this season. Your oppressors shall be miserable from this moment until they deliver what is yours to you. For a user of this Devotional, the Heir of All Things has swung into action on your behalf and is recovering what you have lost. Just praise Him. And when He is through, testify and thank God for it. In addition, when you become a child of Jesus, you become a co-heir with Him on everything God has. Are you ready for this?

ACTION POINT:
After transferring your case of deprivation to Jesus, leave Him to decide how He will recover what you have lost. Don’t dictate to Him. Be patient and regularly praise Him.
