Ephesians 2:6-7, The Amplified Bible, gives us further insight into being one with Jesus: And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One). He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus. Our inheritance is so enormous, it is called, “immeasurable, limitless and surpassing.” Now, look at Hebrews 1:1-2: “God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 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.” If Jesus is heir of all things, and we are joint heirs with Jesus, doesn’t that make us heir of all things as well? Heirs of Everything Look at Galatians 4:7 again, only this time in the New Living Translation-96. It says, “Since you are His child, EVERYTHING He has belongs to you.” Praise God! Every provision you would ever need is fully supplied. Healing is yours. Prosperity is yours. Peace is yours. Protection is yours. Freedom from fear is yours. These are all part of what belongs to you as an heir of God. Second Peter 1:3 says, “His divine power has given us EVERYTHING we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness” (NIV). It is wonderful to know that we don’t have to wait until heaven to claim our inheritance. Colossians 1:12-13 tells us, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” The word meet means that God has already “enabled, qualified and equipped” us to receive our inheritance. Don’t Leave Anything on the Table Joshua 18:1-3 is a picture of what so many Christians have done concerning their inheritance: “And the land was subdued before them. And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance. And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the Lord God of your fathers hath given you?” Many have left their inheritance on the table when God wants us to take everything that is ours. Even children know better. How many children are going to leave unopened presents under the tree this Christmas? None around my household. My older grandchildren are at an age now where they will hunt down that one last present that just might belong to them. We need to have that kind of attitude with our inheritance in Christ. Hebrews 6:12 tells us to, “Be...followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” Say this out loud right now: “I am a child of the King. He is my loving Father. “I became heir to His fortune when I was born again. I am an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus. Everything He has in His kingdom belongs to me. It is included in my inheritance. I receive it all by faith in Jesus’ Name!” V About: George Pearsons is senior pastor of Eagle Mountain International Church, located on the grounds of Kenneth Copeland Ministries.
