THE HERITAGE OF
THE LORD – Monday September 26th 2016
Memorise: And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, Take
this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman
took the child, and nursed it. Exodus 2:9
Read:
Psalms 127:3-5, (KJV)
3 Lo, children are
an heritage of the Lord: and
the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As
arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy
is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but
they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Bible in one year: Ezekiel 16, Psalms 68:22-35
MESSAGE
The Bible presents the nation of Israel and the Church of God as the
chief objects of God’s fatherly love. All of humanity have the privilege
of becoming God’s children through faith and are then encouraged by the
Scripture to imitate their heavenly Father in their daily living. However, as I
have always maintained, you can choose to be anything you want before the
Almighty God. You can be just a creature, a dog or a cow. You can go beyond
being a mere creature to becoming a servant. Being a servant gives you more
personal access to God. But you could go yet another step to becoming a son of
God. Sons have tremendous opportunities that servants do not have. As a son of
God, you become a co-heir with Christ. That means all that God has jointly
belongs to Jesus and you. Besides, John 8:35 says sons abide in the
house forever. Open Heavens 26 September 2016:- The Heritage of the Lord
No wonder David in Psalms 23:6 says:
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”
He could say so because he had a Father-son relationship with the Lord.
For such sons, even after leaving planet earth, Jesus promised to prepare His
Father’s house for them to stay throughout eternity (John 14:1-3). Sons
have eternal right to God’s house. Are you a son of God?
If you abide in
God’s house, you would automatically flourish. Psalms 92:13 says;
“Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall
flourish in the courts of our God.”
Beyond being rich or wealthy, you can flourish. Age will not erode your
opportunities or harvests. In fact, the older you are, the more flourishing you
become. This is not for those who merely visit God’s house. It is not for
servants but for sons. Some people endure going into God’s house or presence.
If they were asked to come for a big contract at 9 am, they will be there by 7
am. But if invited to meet with the King of kings for 8 am, they will stroll
into church by 10 am. This attitude hinders people from attaining the heights
they were created to achieve. If you find it difficult to stay in God’s
presence, you can be sure you cannot have access into His Heavenly home. Those
who will enter Heaven must desire to enter that city not made with hands (Hebrew
11:10, 16). It far excels the best of planet earth to the extent that it is
simply incomparable. Do you qualify for Heaven? To what extent do you long for
Heaven? How much do you crave to be in God’s presence? How much do you enjoy
worshipping the Lord? 26 September 2016 open heavens
Prayer Point
Father, please help
me to make it to Heaven and to abide in You forever in Jesus’ name.
