He’s Your Portion
And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have
no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou
have any part among them: I am thy part and thine
inheritance among the children of Israel
(Numbers 18:20).
We understand from the Scriptures that God
apportioned inheritance to the different
tribes of Israel except the Levites. To the Levites He
said, “I am thy part and thine inheritance among the
children of Israel.” In other words, “I’m your portion!
I’m everything you need!” This is wonderful! How rich
can you get when the Lord is your portion?
Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the LORD’S, and
the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell
therein.” If this is true, and it is, then, it follows that
the earth and everything in it belongs to you because
the Lord is your portion. No wonder, the Bible says
all things are yours! Now, you can understand when I
say I don’t ask God for anything; all my prayers are for
other people. I have nothing to ask God for, because
I have Christ, and Christ is everything.
When this truth dawns on you, the struggles
would be over; it’ll change your mentality and your
testimonies would be different. The Psalmist knew the
Lord to be his portion and so declared, “The LORD is
the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou
maintainest my lot” (Psalms 16:5).
Then in Psalm 27:1, the psalmist testified, “… the
LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be
afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). He didn’t say, “Strengthen me,
oh Lord”; rather, he declared, “The Lord is the strength
of my life!” You don’t ask for strength when you know
the Lord is your portion; He’s your strength, and you
testify accordingly.
Being born again, you’ve been made a partaker
of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians
1:12). You’ve been brought into a large place (Psalm
18:19); a place of wealth, health and prosperity. Get
to know and enjoy all that belongs to you in Christ by
studying and meditating on the Word. Walking in the
light of this and other truths in the Word will launch
you into a life of endless possibilities, glory, excellence
and superabundance.
Prayer
Thank you Father for being the portion of my inheritance; I
boldly declare that the lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places
and I have a goodly heritage. I live and walk in wealth, health
and prosperity even as goodness and mercy follow me all the
days of my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
