Heirs of God, Sealed in Love: Discovering Our Divine Inheritance in Christ

"Also, you were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit."  Ephesians 1:13 KSB

   Do you know who you are? Do you really know who you are? You are not just a face in the crowd; you are an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ Jesus. In Ephesians 1, Paul reminds the believers in Ephesus that both Jews and Gentiles now have full access to the blessings of God. We are one family, one body, with one shared inheritance. There are no second-class children in God's kingdom. Whether your background includes race, gender, social status, criminal history, denomination, or personal struggles none of these disqualify you from your inheritance in Christ. You are marked, sealed, and secured by the Holy Spirit. That seal is your divine proof of ownership, authenticity, and eternal security.

   You share in God's nature; His love becomes your love. The fruit of the Spirit is not just a list, it's your lifestyle: love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, meekness, temperance, and faith. As an heir of God, you have access to divine wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Your very breath is proof that God’s character flows through you. Want to know what belongs to you as an heir? Look at Jesus. When He prayed, God answered. When He needed provision, God supplied whether through loaves, fish, or a coin in a fish’s mouth. Jesus is your elder brother, your example. His miracles show what it means to live as a child of God, filled with the Spirit and empowered to walk in divine authority.

   Because Jesus had access to peace, health, provision, and power, so do you. Your inheritance includes optimal health, harmonious relationships, and overflowing provision. You're not waiting for something to drop from heaven you already have shares in God's eternal business. "Heirs" means "shares." Get your share, because it's already yours. We are all beloved offspring of God, made in His image, spiritual beings with divine DNA. As heirs, joint heirs with Christ and with each other, we are called to share. Some of our brothers and sisters don’t yet know who they are. Share your knowledge, your resources, your time so they too can access their inheritance.

   In God’s kingdom, there are more than enough shares for everyone. God’s goodness cannot be exhausted. As it says in Scripture, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you.” The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof. So don't keep all that good to yourself share it!

Sealed by God – Ephesians 1:13

   Being sealed by the Holy Spirit means:

  • Ownership – You belong to God.
  • Authenticity – You are the real thing, a genuine child of God.
  • Security – You are safe in His promise and protected by His power.

   Question: What is the last thing you sealed? A letter? A deal? A document? Now think God sealed you with His Spirit. That’s forever.

📖 Reflection: Do you live daily in the awareness that you are a sealed, secured heir of God? What would change if you did?

💡 Action Step: Share one aspect of your spiritual inheritance with someone this week whether it’s love, peace, wisdom, or resources.

  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...
