Awesome Teaching by Apostle George Every saint has an inheritance which contains the full benefits of being in Yahshua, Jesus. Spanning time and eternity, the Covenant Blessings of Calvary cross are simply mind boggling! It is a travesty of divine justice for saints to be so busy with many things that they cannot find time to know their inheritance – which is fully documented in the Bible. It is equally bad to have mental assent to the vast inheritance we have in Yahshua but yet lack the faith to draw down those that are for now. In the same way, no saint should lose the degree of hope which anchors our souls for the eternal portion of our inheritance! Paul the Apostle was inspired by Holy Spirit to pray for the Ephesian saints to come to an understanding of both their present and future inheritance which is already stored up for drawing down at the appointed times. Ephesians 1:3, 10-18 3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 10That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:11In 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: 12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 15Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:18The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Ignorance leads to many saints living below their optimum or suffering needlessly. Yahshua redeemed us from the curse of the Law so that the blessings of Abraham may be our portion Galatians 3:13-14: 13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. It is imperative that saints stop the unprofitable act of skimming the surface of the Bible like amateur gold diggers. We should rather be like professional miners who dig deep into the bowel of the earth to uproot the big gold ingots! Get into the word to locate first who we are as saints, secondly our responsibilities in the earth realm on behalf of our Father and then all the blessings Yahshua, Jesus purchased for us with which to fulfil our assignments. Let us believe them, confess them and be confident in bringing them up to our heavenly Father as and when needed. In giving us the model pattern of prayer, Yahshua taught us to avoid projecting needs that will arise in future but to ask for the things we need at any given time. This is to ensure that we maintain a healthy relationship with our Father and depend on Him for daily supply rather than rely on arm of the flesh which is what Satan tricked Adam and Eve into doing. Matthew 6: 11 Give us this day our daily bread. In providing for Israel in the wilderness, Yahweh asked them to fetch the portion of Manna needed each day. Those who disobeyed and fetched more than the daily needed ration found them to be full of maggots the next day. The so called prosperity gospel has done incredible damage to the psyche of saints by making them more focussed on chasing blessings rather than the Giver and His Kingdom. The seek His Hands, rather than His Heart and Face. The spectacle of the redeemed of the Lord chasing after the fancies of this world and seeking satisfaction from them does not impress our King. At the Cross, Yahshua, Jesus paid the supreme price so that Satan will let go of his claim to be the “god” of this world for those who are redeemed by His Blood. Since that day, Satan only rules and controls affairs of those who refuse redemption. For those who are saved, the desire of heaven is that like Yahshua, we can say with confidence that Satan has nothing in us! Please compare these scriptures: 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 and John 14:30 with 1 John 5:19 Let this truth be stressed again: in Yahshua, Jesus the saints have all things that pertain to life and godliness. 2 Peter 1:3 (KJV)3 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: For this reason, Yahshua Jesus gave us an unfailing formula; one on whose success He personally stakes His reputation: saints should seek first the Kingdom and its righteousness, trusting Yahweh to take good care of all their mundane needs - Matthew 6:19 -34. Matthew 6:19-34 19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Paul the apostle was used of the Holy Spirit to bring home the fact that the Kingdom is not measured in how much food and drinks we have in this present life: Romans 14:17-19 17For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. The bold disciple Peter engaged Jesus in Matthew 19: 27 with what kind of inheritance those who serve faithfully in the Kingdom can expect. The dialogue is truly full of insight: Matthew 19:27-29 27Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? 28And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my names sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. The Lord in effect says we have an inheritance in Him that is secure and certain. One of the reasons for which the Holy Spirit seals those who are saved is to guarantee that we will enjoy the fullness of the inheritance as the redeemed of Adonai starting with participation in the rapture of saints who are alive at the coming of Yahshua Jesus or resurrection of those who die in Him! Ephesians 1:13,14. It makes sense to allow our Father in heaven to open our eyes of understanding to understand the full range of those benefits so that we can possess and put them to work in the business of His Kingdom. The prayers said by Paul the Apostle for saints in Ephesus to understand the limitless scope of their inheritance needs to be repeated: Ephesians 3:14-21 14For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,15Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,18May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.20Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. The Elohim we serve is a faithful, loving and caring Father. He knows our frame. He did not just create us and abandon us to our own devices! From the day He conceived each and every member of His family, Yahweh figured out the exact resource level we need to fulfil the destiny He ordained. Truth that Satan seeks to hide is that the day Yahweh conceived us in His Omniscience, He had a divine purpose of what He desires to accomplish in the earth realm through us. Because He is the Owner and Controller of all resources, He has a specific allocation stored up to enable us accomplish our assignment! This is a principle of equity and fairness which, when understood and walked in, will cause saints to rest in the Truthfulness and Faithfulness of Yahweh, seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, knowing assuredly that their needs are already figured out and provided for from heaven! That way, saints will not hang their faith on mortal men – including ‘anointed’ preachers for their blessings! They will walk in the reality that they are already blessed and favoured by a caring Father and will not run from pillar to post chasing ‘blessings’. Because He delights to partner with His new creation, Yahweh has created the facility called prayer. When mixed with unfailing faith, prayer moves Him to do great things for His own: Matthew 7:7-11 7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? No true saint is an orphan abandoned to care for him/her self in this world. Yahweh who graciously adopted us into His family has given us an inheritance which ensures release of the full allocation of resources needful for fulfilment of our individual assignments! The sweetest part of this divine deal is that our rewards are even greater and of greater value in the hereafter. Beginning now and stretching on to the soon coming the Millennial reign on earth when we shall serve as Priests and Kings in the various nations as co-heirs with Yahshua, the King of Kings, we are assured of an endless eternity with Yahweh – never to be separated from His Presence again! This inheritance is worth dying for, if need be! Beware of theories and dogma of humans which negate the Second Coming of Yahshua, Jesus when our inheritance will be complete! One of the reasons why Yahshua designed His Church to be led by Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers working together is that saints are thereby matured rapidly by the synergy of their impartations to the degree that wolves in sheep clothing who claim to be experts in dispensing prosperity can be discerned. When this is so, saints will not fall victim to their antics as they seek to fleece saints as is written in Ephesians 4:13-14: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; The truth is that saints have a sure inheritance in King Yahshua the Head as stated in 1 Corinthians 3 21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; What are your needs? Food, shelter, job, and money for day to day needs, sound mind and body that is full of health? These are basics that your heavenly Father guarantees His children. Husband, wife, children? A better job or resources to start a business? To know which particular ministry He has called you to and grace to fulfil it? What is it that you need? If you will call upon the Father in Faith, trusting Him like Abraham did, your blessings which are already stored up for you will be released. If you have to persist, do not be ashamed or wearied for persistent faith is the Kingdom way as modelled by Abraham who we are called upon to emulate: Romans 4:17-22. 17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarahs womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Isaiah 51:1-3: 1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. Abraham received the end of his faith: Isaac only when he was completely dead to self at age 100. Before then, he had tried to help Yahweh with arm of the flesh only to produce Ishmael. Many saints are often tempted to help Yahweh and end up bearing Ishmael-like entities which only produce trouble! Let us be diligent to do one thing: refuse to carry our burdens alone but rather to thrust them upon He who has the ability to carry them: 1 Peter 5: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Let our Faith be of this dimension and we can sleep easy: Philippians 4:19: 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
