Why Cut Yourself Off The Inheritance

Do you think that some blessings in God's word are not for you or they will not apply to you now? This shouldn't be because God made provisions for all His children and everything is in abundance. The enemy is only trying to cheat you due to your lack of knowledge or inability to exercise your right in Christ Jesus. This post aims at encouraging you not to cut yourself off the inheritance of God.

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise - Galatians 3:26-29 (NKJV).

Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth - Deuteronomy 28:1 (NKJV).

There are great inheritances available for God's children on earth; however, many of them are cutting themselves off the inheritance. When God mentioned these blessings, He never mentioned the age, gender, or background of the people that they belong too or that will get most of them, but some Christians are adding these and in the process are exempting themselves from the inheritance. We are all one in Christ Jesus and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:26-29), and that includes you.

Access to the Lord's inheritance

The accesses I see in the scriptures are:

1. Being born again

This is the starting point. You have to be a child of God to access His inheritance, which is for His children. You become one by accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9-10).

2. Love for God

God has prepared great things that eyes have not seen or ears heard for those that love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9). So, for you to partake of these blessings you have to love God with all heart. Read more...
