PARTAKERS OF THE INHERITANCE – Pastor Chris
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12).
The word “meet” in the verse above means “qualify”; the Father qualified you to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the Kingdom of Light. There’s an inheritance for you. Do you see why your mentality should be one of abundance? You’re the King’s kid, and everything that belongs to Him belongs to you.
Being born again, the Spirit confirms that you’re a child of God: “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God” (Romans 8:16). Romans 8:17 says, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ….” And because you’re a child of God, you’re a joint heir with Christ—a partaker of the divine nature. All the rights Jesus has, you have as well.
Consider a more relatable analogy of a joint bank account. In a joint account, everything in that account belongs to both parties equally. Neither of them can access anything without the other person’s involvement. This illustrates what it means to be joint-heirs with Christ. Everything that belongs to Christ also belongs to you in full.
The Bible says, “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). There’s no lack or deficiency in this inheritance. What you need is to discover more from the Word of God about this inheritance that’s already yours. Without this knowledge, you may live unaware of the full benefits you have in Christ.
2 Peter 1:2-3 says, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” Did you see that? Enjoying your inheritance and all that’s been made available to you in Christ Jesus is about your knowledge of Him. Hallelujah!
CONFESSIONI’m an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. All that belongs to Christ belongs to me in full and I walk in the fullness of my inheritance. I live in abundance and unending supply. The Word builds me up and makes me aware of all that God has freely given me in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
