MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14TH
Pastor David Okoye says:
TAKE YOUR INHERITANCE
"Praise be to the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing." Ephesians 1:3 (NIV)
The Godchild is blessed beyond measure. For this reason 2 Corinthians 4:15 tells "for all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God". The blessings of the new creation are not a disputable fact. His blessings were ordained before time. It is out of God's intention for His children to fail or be fruitless. The children of God ought to be the most productive people on earth reason being that they have an upper hand and advantage in life.
Romans 8:16-17 tells "The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ...". An heir is someone who inherits or is designated to inherit the property of another. If you are an heir of God and joint heirs with Christ, then you have an inheritance. Whenever an inheritance is in play, it tells that there was a previous owner who is no longer in the picture. This was God, who in the form of man came and conquered the world, took the victory and even the keys of hell and death.
He got the victory for our sake, that when we become sons, we might enjoy the things that are freely given to us. He bottled up all the victories in the Holy Ghost and sent Him into us. Ephesians 1:14 (AMP) tells "that [spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the first fruit, the pledge, the foretaste, the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of it's full redemption and our acquiring [complete] possession of it- to the praise of His glory". Meaning that the Holy Ghost is your helper, to unveil and help you discover your inheritance. God gave us the power to take our inheritance. Do so today. Don't let the devil run rampage on what is yours,take your place. It is often said that to whom much is given, much is expected. There is a level of fruitfulness God demands from our hands by reason of who He has made us.
DECLARATION:
I am fully aware of my inheritance in Christ. Therefore, I walk in victory always, I am more than a conqueror, because greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.
