The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him spoke to me about walking in the immense wealth of the treasures of our inheritance in Jesus which must become my primary focus. This requires persistent meditation and focus on the details of how to access these treasures to enable them to manifest in my daily life.
I love it when the Holy Spirit speaks to me about my inheritance because it is not a wage based on work I have done. However it is a gift from God to me because I happen to be one of His sons who He loves to endow with every good thing He has. Just as a parent provides everything their children need for life.
The Lord who created us provides more good gifts for us than any human with deceitful hearts. So the inheritance from Him is far greater. Romans.4:3 & 4.
Let me just remind us of Jesus’s position as the legal owner of all things in heaven and on earth for which He possesses all authority in both realms. Hebrews.1:2. That is the winning position and the Holy Spirit can give us from the resources Jesus possesses which are unlimited.
Jesus spoke these glorious words in Luke.12:32: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Everything in the Kingdom, that is every resource available for life and godliness is what gives God pleasure to give to us His children.
I can assure you that the Holy Spirit is not the withholder of every good thing but the giver of every good thing the Father has prepared for us. He helps us lay hold of our inheritance in the now season of life.
This is because the Father knows we need the Spirit of Might to live effectively and triumphantly on earth because He wants us to partake of what He has prepared which is made available for us to eat from. Isaiah.11:2.
Just think of the apostle Peter’s words to the crippled man at the beautiful gate in Acts.3:6: such as I have, I give to you in the name of Jesus rise up and walk.
You will notice that Peter does not offer him what he is hoping or believing for in the future but what he possesses in right now. Peter does not pray that in the future God will heal you. No, Peter makes it clear I know my inheritance and you can partake of it now because it has been given to me.
Peter had absolute confidence in his inheritance from Jesus and again in Acts.9:34 says these words: And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately.
Notice again that Peter gives from his inheritance in the Lord. Jesus heals you so get up and make your bed. Not I hope something good will happen for you Aeneas later, but rather receive healing now and get up. I know what inheritance I have in Jesus so just receive it.
This is the place the Holy Spirit wants us to walk in these days to glorify the Lord Jesus. This is why the Holy Spirit keeps speaking about embracing more and more of the reality of how much more treasure is available in our inheritance in Jesus and us knowing how to walk in it as Peter did.
No wonder Peter says these words to us in his first letter 1 Peter.1:4 & 5: to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
We have been endowed with an inheritance that cannot be corrupted and is undefiled. So it is impossible for that inheritance to fade away.
We need to know this reality and walk in the truth of that fact. With no doubts and concerns that it might fail because as Peter says it will not fade away and is reserved for our use.
I recall the evening in Freetown Sierra Leone while I was preparing for a meeting and there was a knock on the door. It was a group of deaf young adults from the deaf and dumb college who were sent to the Campus to come and beg money from the lecturer’s homes. This fellow had a letter making the request which he handed me. So I invited him in and proceeded to pray for him.
He immediately fell under the power of God, completely knocked out. As he came to reality he could hear after the touch of the Holy Spirit having been on the floor for 30 mins. He could then immediately start talking as he could now hear clearly as he rose up from the floor and left the home rejoicing as we spoke. He was no longer worried about receiving any money because the reason for wanting money had been solved .
He had received his life back through his ability to hear and his speech recovery which was far greater than the little money I could have given him for his impediment. It was a glorious moment for me because it was the first time a deaf and dumb person was healed through my ministry.
The miracle was such a blessing because he forgot what he had come for which was money because the Holy Spirit had stepped in meaning his life had now changed. So he would now be able to work and become productive in society.
We had a glorious meeting that night with the Holy Spirit healing many more people as they heard the story of the miraculous healing of the deaf fellow. There were many life commitments to serve the Lord more fervently as they saw the powerful work of the Holy Spirit in demonstration.
The Holy Spirit still has much more to share with us on the treasures of our inheritance in Christ and how we can access them to manifest them in our lives. I pray today that as you hear these words, grace will be imparted which will stir you to action to seek the Lord wholeheartedly to work with the Holy Spirit to see more of your inheritance in the Lord manifest on a daily basis.
Remember you are only requesting what the Father has already promised and apportioned to you if you will follow the leading of the Holy Spirit rather than man and traditions. Choose to deny yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to have your heart, soul and body. Then live for Jesus alone as you watch how your inheritance in the Lord will speak for you in Jesus name. Amen.
