YOUR ETERNAL INHERITANCE

1.        God the Father has chosen an inheritance for each of His children, that they should go and fight a good fight, take possession of it, and rule over it. (Psalm 47:3-4; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Revelation 5:10)

2.        God will not give this inheritance at an appointed time, because He has already given it to you. Wherever your foot treads, that place has been given to you. To set foot means (through prayer walk) to crush Satan’s head under your feet. (Joshua 1:3, Romans 16:20, 1 Timothy 2:8)

3.        Without inheritance, you cannot be a complete Christian. Everyone has to claim their inheritance, and then take possession of it. Even the Lord had to claim His inheritance. We are co-heirs with the Lord. (Psalm 2:7-8; Romans 8:17)

4.        You must ask God for one or more special races (groups), and also ask for a region. God gave Abraham the land of Canaan as inheritance, from the Euphrates River (which is in Iraq) to the Nile River (which is in Egypt), and also 10 nations. Peter became the inheritor of the Jews of Judea province. Paul became the inheritor of all non-Jews from Jewish Jerusalem to Illyricum, and Lydia got Philippi and Titus got Crete as inheritance. (Psalm 2:8; Genesis 15:18-21; Galatians 2:6; Romans 15:17-19; Titus 1:5)

5.        The Lord Jesus found His inheritance by seeking and saving the lost. The Lord connected the Samaritan woman to the Samaritans, and the demon-possessed man of Gadarenes to the Decapolis (ten cities), connecting them to His inheritance. This was done immediately after their transformation, before their baptism took place. (Matthew 5:18-20; John 4:39)

6.        Only by praying, reading the Bible, attending Bible college, and being present in church every week do we not receive inheritance. The word of God is not only for knowledge but also develops you to receive your inheritance. Fulfilling the Lord's commands, such as making disciples, entitles you to inheritance. (Matthew 28:18; Acts 20:32)

7.        God had made Adam the inheritor of the Garden of Eden, but he lost it through disobedience. Esau lost his inheritance for a bowl of stew. Judas Iscariot sold his inheritance for 30 silver coins. Because of spiritual blindness, Christians today have lost their inheritance. (Romans 11:25; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 4:17-18)

8.        God the Father has given all His sons and daughters talents/gifts to use. Whoever increases their gifts/talents, the Lord will appoint them to rule over many cities. (Luke 19:13-26)

9.        Every woman must also receive her inheritance. Rebekah was blessed by her family that her thousands upon thousands of descendants would possess the gates of their enemies. Similarly, every Christian must adopt Rebekah’s blessing, produce thousands of spiritual children (disciples), remove the enemies, and establish their inheritance. (Genesis 24:57-60)

10.    The Lord Jesus taught to lay up our wealth (inheritance) in heaven, but we collect worldly wealth till our last breath, which thieves steal and moth destroy. (Luke 12:29-34)

11.    God gave Israel only the land of Canaan, but He has given us the whole world as our inheritance. The whole earth earnestly waits for the manifestation of the sons of peace, who will break the bondage of the curse and redeem it. (Matthew 5:5; Romans 8:19-21)

12.    The Lord commanded Paul to open the eyes of the people, to turn those in darkness to the light, and from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of God, then to unite them with their inheritance through repentance. (Acts 26:18)

13.    One main work of the Church is to unite every believer with their inheritance, which is incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading. (1 Peter 1:4-9)

14.    Like Joshua, the Church must make a plan based on the Lord Jesus’ vision, through which the great commission can be fulfilled, and every Christian with their inheritance (every tribe, family, and clan) can wait for the Lord’s second coming. (Joshua 18:3-9)
