In whom also we have obtained an
inheritance, being predestinated
according to the purpose of him who
worketh all things after the counsel of
his own will (Ephesians 1:11).
God’s purpose in Christ wasn’t just to save us
from sin; it was to bring us into our inheritance,
an inheritance rooted in the blessing of Abraham. The
Bible says we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ
(Romans 8:17). That means everything that belongs to
Christ belongs to you in the same way and measure that
it belongs to Him.
So, what are the things that belong to Christ? What’s
the extent of His inheritance? The Bible says the whole
world and everything therein belongs to Him: “The earth
is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and
they that dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). The Apostle Paul
in Ephesians 3:8 AMPC also gives us a glimpse into the
limitless and unfathomable extent of His inheritance: “To
me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s
consecrated people), this grace (favor, privilege) was
granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to
the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless,
incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth
which no human being could have searched out].”
This describes the degree or magnitude of your
inheritance in Christ. You own what He owns because
you’re one with Him. This isn’t something to be hoped
for in the distant future. Ephesians 1:11 says you’ve
already obtained an inheritance. That’s past tense. You’re
a possessor now. Through Christ, you have access to
everything that belongs to the Father—wisdom, wealth,
peace, authority, and glory.
Even more, Ephesians 1:14 calls the Holy Spirit the
“earnest” of our inheritance, the deposit or down payment
that guarantees we own everything in Christ. If God gave
you His Spirit, then everything else is included. It helps
you further understand the words of the Spirit through the
Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:21-22, “Therefore let no
man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether
Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or
death, or things present, or things to come; all are
yours.”
Refuse to think small. Don’t see yourself as
disadvantaged. You’re chosen, predestined and positioned
for greatness. Think, talk, and live with the consciousness
that all things are yours in Christ Jesus: “According as his
divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain
unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him
that hath called us to glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3).
CONFESSION
I’ve obtained an inheritance in Christ; all things are
mine. The blessing of Abraham is working in me. I walk
in dominion, fruitfulness and divine favour. I live in the
reality of my inheritance in Christ today, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
