…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 NIV).
You’re the seed of Abraham, and the whole world belongs to you. Only a Christian who’s ignorant of this will live a beggarly life. God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6).
It’s like someone who goes to an event with an all-access ticket yet stops at the gate to plead with the organizers to be allowed in. With your ticket, you don’t need to beg; just walk in and enjoy the party! It’s all about the ticket.
Jesus is your ticket to a boundless inheritance. The Amplified Classic describes it as unsearchable riches— wealth untold which no human being can search out (Ephesians 3:8). He qualified you for the inheritance. Hallelujah!
Then He said in John 16:23, “…Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.” In other words, not only did He qualify you to be a partaker of His glorious inheritance, He’s saying, “Use my name!” That’s your ticket to enjoy all that’s been granted you in Christ.
Part of that inheritance is sound health. The Bible says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (3 John 1:2). He wants you to prosper financially and be healthy enough to enjoy your wealth. How wonderful that is!
Wake up to this reality and say to yourself, “I’ll always be healthy, prosperous and sound. It’s part of my inheritance in Christ.” Even if your parents didn’t leave you any inheritance, Jesus gave you one that’s incorruptible, and the inheritance in Christ Jesus is greater. Praise God!
PRAYER / CONFESSION
Dear Father, thank you for making me a partaker of your glorious inheritance. I live in the overflowing goodness, victories and blessings of the Kingdom. I walk in the glorious heritage and liberty of the sons of God, and I flourish exceedingly in every good work, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
