Have you Received Your Inheritance?

“and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share

 in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.”

Colossians 1:12

 

 

Suppose you had a wealthy relative who died and left you an inheritance.

Let’s also suppose that you did not know this.

How would you find this out?

It is the role of the executor to distribute the assets to the beneficiaries.

Did you know that we have an inheritance through Jesus Christ?

Are you living in the benefits of your inheritance?

Do you know what you have received?

The Holy Spirit acts as the executor to make known and available those benefits.

Listen to these words of Jesus:

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” John 16:13-15

Do you ask, seek and knock?

Are you intentional about seeking the guidance of the one sent to guide you?

Or do you fly through life by the seat of your pants content to make your own decisions and live with the consequences?

Jesus not only spoke of what the Holy Spirit would do, He also showed us how to walk – day-by-day – with the Holy Spirit as His guide.

Do we suppose we are better than Him?

Of course not!

How much more then do we need the guide, the executor God the Father sent to us?

Ask Him how to walk in that inheritance today.

He will guide you in your walk to appropriate all that Jesus has made available!
