THE GREAT INHERITANCE

Eze.44:28
And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no
possession in Israel: I am their possession.
Inheritance is a thing that is inherited by someone because they are successors of deceased
person. It is a bequeathment a thing not worked for, it comes into the possession of such
beneficiary for their enjoyment for as long as they choose to hold on to it. Many people have
inherited stuffs that have either made or destroyed their lives, for example Isaac inherited his
father Abraham and he progressed from their in blessings, on the other hand, the children of
Gehazi inherited leprosy from him, just as the children of Ham inherited the curse placed on
their father by their grandfather Noah. Regardless, of the bequeathment of our progenitors,
those of us who belong to Christ have a much more tangible and enduring inheritance – God.
Gen.15:1
After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am
your shield, your very great reward.
One can inherit a lot of good things, money, houses, land etc. from one’s parent , and make a
good living off that, but if a man does not have the Lord God as his inheritance such individual
will only live life chasing shadows and ultimately be a loser, for what shall it profit a man to
gain the entire world have lose his very soul? Abraham, after the rescue of Lot could have
taken the spoil of war and become even richer, the king even encouraged him to take as much
as he liked, but Abraham refused, because he understood that the Lord who called him is able
to supply all his needs. The Lord indeed assured him thereafter, that He will be his Reward,
that is his personal inheritance.
Matt.6:38
But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness
[His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will
be given to you also.
Whilst it is good to work hard at rising in our area of professional calling and attain
comfortable life, a constant reminder that all these thing are easily attainable when we fully
aligns our lives with the Lord plan and way of doing things, with particular focus on where
eternity will be spent. It is very possible to be rich and prosperous in all things of the world
without God being our inheritance, however, eternity cannot be in bliss if God is not our
inheritance. Seeking God with all we have until He is our inheritance, by being totally sold out
to Him is the only sure way of enjoying both here and now and in eternity.
There is no other inheritance that can compare with Him, and He has offered to be the
inheritance of those who prioritize their relationship with Him above all else. It is Him we
move, live and have the totality of our being, that is, without Him, our live will be like a ship
that has lost its engine, navigational system and anchor which is being bounced around by the
toss of the waves.
Heb.6:19
This hope [this confident assurance] we have as an anchor of the soul [it cannot slip and it
cannot break down under whatever pressure bears upon it]—a safe and steadfast hope that
enters within the veil [of the heavenly temple, that most Holy Place in which the very
presence of God dwells].
There is no inheritance that can compare to the Lord being your inheritance, are numbered
among those who have God as their inheritance?
