The Word And Your Inheritance
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and
to the word of his grace, which is able to build you
up, and to give you an inheritance among all them
which are sanctified
(Acts 20:32).
When the scripture says the Word is able
to give you an inheritance, it means the
Word is able to deliver the inheritance to you. Imagine
that you have an inheritance and you can’t claim it,
because you require some evidence; you require an
attorney to go in on your behalf to present the right
documentation that shows the inheritance is rightfully
yours, before it’s given to you. The lawyer didn’t “give”
you the inheritance, but he helped you get it. That’s
what the Word does for you.
God already gave us the inheritance. The Bible
tells us we’re joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17).
Now, because of Jesus, all things are yours. All of
God’s resources belong to you, and through the Word
of God, you can know and take possession of your
inheritance. The Word informs, directs, and leads you
in the blessings of God for your life.
Colossians 1:12 says, “Giving thanks unto the
Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers
of the inheritance of the saints in light.” Study and
meditate on the Word every day, for it’s the book of
your inheritance. There’s no way of appropriating the
blessings of God to your life except by the knowledge
of the Word.
Your victory, success and prosperity are in the
Word: “This book of the law shall not depart out of
thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and
night, that thou mayest observe to do according to
all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make
thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good
success” (Joshua 1:8).
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you that through your Word, reality is
unveiled to my spirit, causing me to walk in my inheritance in
Christ. Your Word in my mouth prevails over circumstances, and
activates your blessings in my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
