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.

  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...
