We Are God's Heirs


  • This past year in London England everyone watched and waited with great anticipation for Prince William and his beautiful bride and Duchess Kate Middleton to have their royal baby. When Prince George was born, England was most assured that their beloved monarchy would "Carry on"! An heir to the future throne was born. This baby had royal blood in his veins, he was born into and destined for greatness!

  • Did  you know you also are an Heir to a throne of royalty?  You have a mighty inheritance that has been promised to you! Your bloodline can be traced to the King of all kings!! We are the sons and daughters of God himself. He is our Father and He wants us to reign as kings in this life. We are is heirs. We are part of the royal bloodline passed down through the generations.  Our ancestors consist of God's highly favored and most beloved of all. Through Abraham, Iaasic, and Jacob and on down through the most influential and highly esteemed people, we were born into greatness. The Bible states that since we are the favored descendants and heirs of Abraham, the blessings bestowed upon him by our Heavenly Father are the same blessings that are ours today.

  •   The Bible has many scriptures outlining the amazing blessings God promised to Abraham, all in all the Bible lists over forty such blessings. God is still that same God and His word remains true.. It is constant and unchanging. We are to be blessed as Abraham was blessed. 

  • Genesis 12:2-3

    "And Abraham , I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."

    Genesis 13:2

    Abraham had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.

  • The amazing blessings God poured out on Abraham thousands of years ago are still available to us, we make up all of the families of the earth that God speaks of in that scripture. We are quite simply Abraham's descendents so we will partake in the blessings that have been irrevocably passed down to us through the generations and God will take complete pleasure in our prosperity!

  • It's pretty amazing to realize that we are the heirs of the creator of the universe. We did nothing to deserve all the riches and spoils and blessings The Lord has in store for us. He is simply our loving father, a daddy like any other that loves to bless his children!

  •   I have two sons, young adults now. They have always been so comfortable knowing that what's mine is also theirs. When they were growing up, they did not have to worry about anything. They just knew that I was providing for them and that everything was taken care of for them.  They did not ever feel like they had to earn the right to my unconditional love, my home or anything in it. They just grew up securely enough to know that I wanted them to be blessed with everything I had. 
           They, being my children, just 
           instinctively knew that as their
              mom, 
            what's mine is always also theirs.. That's exactly how our loving Father feels about every one of us.
           
          Romans 8:17
17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
  •  If we as parents want to bless our children, How much more than does our loving creator, the One who designed and intricately planned out every last detail of our lives before we were even born, want to bless us ?

    The Bible says that God did not even withhold His one and only Son from us so why would He not give us everything else we need. He will supply all of our needs according to His glorious riches in Heaven.

    In Heaven there is no lack, no disease, no pain, no sorrow no infirmity, or corruption.There is only joy, peace that surpasses all understanding, abundance, creativity, wisdom, divine health and I would imagine a healthy dose of laughter. 

    We are to pray for God's glorious will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven, this means that all of the wonderful things of Heaven are what God, OUR  FATHER, wants for us all to have and enjoy here on earth today. 

    Psalm 2:7-8

    I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me,"you are my son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance , and the ends of the earth your possession.

    God is simply just a loving dad wanting the best for all of His children. We being his children,his heirs, need to reach up and adjust our crowns of faith! We need to present ourselves as highly favored children of the most high God. We need to trust our Father to always take care of us in every way, no matter how bad our situation may look.  He will never leave us nor forsake us. We can rest in His presence and trust that we are part of the divine inheritance of the greatest King of all Kings.

    You are covered in the royal bloodline of Jesus and you are so loved by God that through His salvation you will ultimately inherit the eternal kingdom of Heaven just because you are His beloved child.

    Decide today to start believing that the promises of God, every last one that is outlined in the Bible is true for you here and now! God never changes, His word is truth!  We can have what the Bible says we can have. God is no respector of persons. He loves us all the same. Receive that love! 

    Heavenly Father, thank you that you love us so much that you have made us heirs to your Kingdom of Heaven. Thank you for your salvation and  the blessings you pour out on us, your beloved children. In Jesus name we pray!

    Amen
