"Riches and honor are with me, enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God). My fruit is better than gold, yes, than refined gold, and my increase than choice silver. I [Wisdom] walk in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), in the midst of the paths of justice, that I may cause those who love me to inherit [true] riches and that I may fill their treasuries." -The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
Are the fruit, increase and "true" riches of God present in your life?
If so, wealth, honor and riches are coming.
The authority and power to create wealth flow from God. Paul said in Rom 13:1: "For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God's appointment."
If God permits anyone of the world to have enduring wealth it is only so He can get it into the hands of the righteous that plan for it.
God has made some people an "authority" in increasing wealth and creativity, so He can cause riches and honor to be inherited by those who love Him.
EVERYTHING IN GOD (blessing, wisdom, riches, wealth, miracles, healing, etc.) is inherited.
Therefore, you cannot afford to just let things happen; you must pray for God to reveal your harvest and inheritance so you can pray for the intentional possession of it.
That billion dollar contract with that potential client is a part of your inheritance; that dream job or promotion earning six figures is a part of your inheritance; that million dollar, multi-year professional contract you desire is a part of your inheritance. That miracle you seek in your health (body) is a design of your inheritance.
That word "inheritance" in Greek and Hebrew means: land disposition, heritage; it is regularly the gift of God to His chosen people; it is an assigned coast, region, country, line, divine lot (i.e. the portion God assigns), a company, share, participation, title-deed, legacy, or heritable estate; it is to arrive at (or get down to) God's will.
On a scale from 1-10, how confident are you that your current job represents your calling or inheritance?
Knowing the will of God for your life is an inheritance
The Apostle Paul wrote: "In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will..." (Eph. 1:11)
The Greek text literally reads, "In whom (Christ), indeed we were lot-cast, having already been pre-horizoned according to (divine) purpose, of the one energizing all things according to the counsel arising from His will."
Everyone, including God, has an inheritance.
Duet 26:8 says, "So the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with great terror and with signs and wonders."
The Israelites failed to realize that the same way God inherited them would be the same way they would have to inherit their own Promised Land (nations) or dream.
It's no different for you and I.
Deut. 15:4-5 adds: "However, there need be no poor people among you, for in the land the LORD your God is giving you to possess as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, if only you fully obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today."
There is no need for you to settle for lack, poverty or recession. What is the boundary of your inheritance?
The limits of your predecessor do not rest with you.
You don't have to accept poverty, cancer, divorce, sickness, unemployment, failure and mediocrity as your ancestral inheritance. What your parents accepted as an inheritance does not have to be passed down to your children. What your predecessor accepted as a department or job standards does not have to trickle down through you as well.
Raise the standard. God has called you to rule, lead, train, equip, mentor, teach and refresh His people (inheritance.)
He purchased you with His blood and sacrifice.
What will you purchase your inheritance or dream with?
Today, I declare that you will possess their land.
· Territory (land), fields and vineyards belong to you (Ex 32:13.)
· Nations belong to you (Ps 2:8.)
· Sonship belongs to you. We have a legal right to the Father's inheritance or estate as sons (by new birth/adoption); we have the right to share the same nature as our Father: Divine, risen, restored, regenerated, refreshed, supernatural, loving, kind, forgiving, etc.. Husbands, we have the right to love our wives with the same nature that Christ loves the church.
And the full inheritance comes as each of us run in our race of faith.
"Do you not know that those who run in a race ('stadium-length,' all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win." (I Cor. 9:24 - NASU)
