THE TRUE INHERITANCE-3

Text : Deuteronomy 10:9 

 *Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD [is] his inheritance, just as the LORD your God promised him.)* 

The Lord set the Levites as a model. He did not allow them share in the portion of lands given to all the tribes of Israel. God was their portion and inheritance.

The Levites today are the believers. All believers are now  priests unto God. 1Peter 2:9.

The Psalmist also recorded that the Lord is your portion in the land of the living. (Psalms 142:5). The land of the living cannot be this earth. It is only in the kingdom of heaven that you can find the land of the living. *Anyone that is outside God's kingdom is not in the land of the living but of the dead.* 

God told Patriarch Abraham that He is his shield and exceeding great reward. God wanted Abraham to inherit Him and not things He has blessed him with. (Genesis 15:1).

Can you also seek to inherit God and not things?

Can you pass God as inheritance to your children?

Then let God be your portion in the land of the living. 

God wants to possess you as His own inheritance and He also wants you to have Him as your inheritance. (Deuteronomy 4:20).

 *The only thing you can own and possess eternally is God- not your bank account, houses, husband, wife or children.* 

You are a wise person when you have this right sense of thinking. 

BIBLE READING: I Peter 1:3-12.

PRAYER FOCUS

1. Father, help me to pursue the true inheritance, and to leave same for my children's children.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
