It's Time to Grow into Your Inheritance: Understanding

It’s Time to Grow Into Your Inheritance

"What I AM saying is that as long as heirs are underage, they are no different from slaves, although they own the whole estate." Galatians 4:1 KSB

"A child looking at a grand estate, symbolizing spiritual inheritance"

Paul's message to the churches in Galatia rings with timeless truth. Until an heir matures, they are indistinguishable from a servant. Though they legally own everything, their immaturity prevents them from accessing it. Until growth occurs, guardians and trustees manage what rightfully belongs to them.

You are an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ Jesus. Though your current life circumstances may reflect lack, scarcity, or even chaos, the truth remains you are entitled to divine abundance. What’s required is growth. It’s time to mature into your inheritance, into the health, peace, provision, and purpose God has already assigned to you. Health is your birthright. As you grow spiritually and emotionally, you will naturally release sickness, disease, and dysfunction. The same is true for your relationships, what looks like contention and comparison today will transform into harmony as you grow into kingdom living.

Paul emphasizes that growth is the Kingdom model. On the surface, heirs and servants look the same, but only one has an inheritance waiting. You are not a slave, you are a son, a daughter, an heir of God. Every right, privilege, and benefit of being God's beloved offspring is yours. Yet too many believers shrink back, convinced that because something hasn't manifested, it's not God's will. But the delay is not denial it’s a call to grow. We must cultivate our faith like a seed germinating, rooting, sprouting, and bearing fruit. Every good thing is already in you; it simply needs time and growth to manifest.

Stop telling yourself you're unworthy or undeserving. You are made in the image and likeness of God. You are worthy of every blessing life has to offer because God withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly. And yes, walking uprightly takes growth. It takes healing. It takes becoming. Your blessings are not blocked by others. No one else’s works determine your success. The only requirement is your growth. Expand your consciousness. Step into what’s already yours. God gave His Son for you; how will He not also freely give you all things?

It’s About Growth! (Galatians 4:1)

1. It’s not about God’s will—His will is clear

2. It’s not about your worthiness—you’re already worthy

3. It’s not about others’ works—it’s about your growth

📖 Reflection: What can you do today to grow from where you are to where God desires you to be?

💡 Action Step: Identify one area in your life where you feel stuck and take a tangible step toward growth-whether it’s prayer, journaling, or seeking mentorship.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself." Galatians 5:14 (KSB) Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love? When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others. In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." Galatians 5:6 (KSB) With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values. When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall? Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
