Heirs and Shares: Embracing Your Full Inheritance in Christ

 

Heirs and Shares: Embracing Your Full Inheritance in Christ

"This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus." – Ephesians 3:6 KSB

A crown symbolizing divine inheritance placed on the Bible


   Do you know who you are? You are an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ Jesus. Paul revealed this profound truth to the believers in Ephesus, making it clear that both Jews and Gentiles now have complete, unrestricted access to all that God is and all that God has. We are not separate, now we are one family, one body, united under one divine inheritance. There are no second-class citizens in God’s family. No stepchildren. No spiritual outsiders. It doesn’t matter your age, race, gender, education, financial status, past mistakes, or background nothing disqualifies you from your spiritual inheritance. We are all beloved offspring, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ Jesus. You share in God’s nature. His divine essence flows through you. That nature produces fruit in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These aren’t distant hopes they are present realities available through your inheritance.

   As an heir of God, you have access to divine wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. God’s fullness resides in you. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in you. When Jesus needed provision, it was provided when He prayed, God answered. That is your birthright too. Look at the life of Jesus to see the benefits of your inheritance. Health, peace, abundance, purpose they are all part of your divine stock portfolio. As Jesus said, “All that the Father has is Mine.” And since you are joint heirs with Christ, it’s yours too. Heirs means shares. Don’t miss what belongs to you. Step into the fullness of your spiritual inheritance. But this inheritance isn't just for you. There are countless people your spiritual siblings who don’t yet know who they are or what belongs to them. Share what you have. Share your wisdom, your resources, your hope. In God’s kingdom, there are infinite shares. You cannot exhaust His goodness. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. So don’t hoard your portion share it. Grace and peace be multiplied to you, and through you, to the world.

Heirs - Shares (Ephesians 3:6)

  • Share in the nature of God
  • Share in the benefits with Christ
  • Share with one another

Question: What do you have stock in?

📖 Reflection: Do you truly believe that you are an heir of God? How would your life change if you lived from that identity every day?

💡 Action Step: Take time this week to meditate on Ephesians 3:6. Then, encourage someone by sharing a truth about their spiritual inheritance.

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3) I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good. Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.   Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good. The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of th...
