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.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

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...
