You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

 

You Are in God’s Will: How to Receive Your Divine Inheritance

"In whom also we have obtained an inheritance because we were predestined according to the purpose of God, who works all things after the counsel of Divine Will." Ephesians 1:11

   Affirmation: My health is optimal because it’s God’s will that all of my relationships are harmonious.

   Ephesians 1:11 reminds us that we have obtained an inheritance through Christ. If earthly parents and grandparents can leave behind an inheritance of tangible and intangible value land, homes, recipes, wisdom, or even prayer, how much greater is the inheritance from our heavenly Father? An inheritance implies that someone thought of you before their passing, made intentional plans, and had a desire for your future. Similarly, God was thinking of you before time began. Before creation itself, God had a will for your life, a good, pleasing, and perfect will.

   You are not an afterthought. You are a divine idea, a word spoken from the mouth of God before you took physical form. God predestined you with purpose and intentionality. His will for you includes absolute good. Scripture confirms this in 3 John 1:2: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." This verse reinforces that God's will for you includes prosperity, health, and inner well-being.

   Your divine inheritance includes:

  • Optimal Health: You are the temple of the living God. It is God’s will that you are healed and whole.
  • Harmonious Relationships: When you please God, even your enemies will be at peace with you.
  • Overflowing Wealth: God gives you the power to get wealth so that you may live in abundance, overflow, and more than enough.

   Unlike human wills that can be contested, God’s will is absolute and unchangeable. No one can override it. No force can void it. It was sealed with your name in mind. Your inheritance is already yours, go get it.  Donald Lawrence put it best in his song: “Get your inheritance it’s yours, it has your name on it.” Claim it with boldness, knowing that God’s will cannot be revoked. You are in God’s will, and His will for you is good.

📖 Reflection: What inheritance have your foreparents—natural and spiritual—left for you?

💡 Action Step: Take time today to reflect on and affirm the parts of God’s inheritance you are claiming—health, harmony, and abundance.

  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 ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
