You know that feeling when someone tells you about an incredible inheritance, something so great you can barely comprehend it? And then you find out—it’s right there, waiting for you, but you never actually claimed it? What if I told you that God’s faithfulness extends to a glorious inheritance that’s already available to you? It’s right there in your hands! But the catch is, so many of us don’t even realize it.
This amazing inheritance isn’t just something for “someday.” It’s here, right now. I can truly say it’s already yours. But how do we tap into this extraordinary blessing? Let’s walk through it together and uncover how you can claim everything that’s been promised to you through Jesus Christ!
The Inheritance You Don’t Have to Wait For
When Paul wrote to the Ephesians, he gave them a powerful truth. He said, “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself… in whom also we have obtained an inheritance” (Ephesians 1:5, 11). Did you catch that? We’ve already obtained our inheritance.
No waiting required. I know—it sounds too good to be true, right? But God’s faithfulness means that, because of what Jesus did, all the incredible promises of God are accessible to you and me right now.
It’s not a distant hope for the afterlife—it’s available for you today. The moment Jesus died on that cross and rose again, He legally validated the will He made for you. I can’t make this up!
Why do you walk around like you’re spiritually broke? I mean, do you even realize how much you’ve got? It’s like having a treasure chest and refusing to open it. Well, not anymore.
What’s the Difference Between Co-Heirs and Joint Heirs?
Here’s where it gets even more mind-blowing. Paul tells us that as believers, we’re joint heirs with Christ, not just co-heirs (Romans 8:16-17). What’s the difference? Let’s break it down. If two children inherit their father’s land and each gets 50 acres, they’re co-heirs. Each owns half.
But when you’re joint heirs, it’s like a shared bank account between you and someone else.
You both have full access to the entire account.
You own all of it—there’s no “half” when you’re a joint heir!
That’s the kind of extraordinary relationship you have with Jesus Christ. You don’t get half of His inheritance. You get all of it. The entire kingdom is at your disposal, and it’s not a someday-thing. It’s right now, in your hands. Mark my words—God’s faithfulness to you as His child means that you are fully entitled to every promise, every blessing, every resource.
Your Heavenly Account Is Waiting
I remember the first time I realized that I had access to a heavenly account. Paul touches on this in Philippians 4:15-17 when he mentions the fruit that abounds to your account.
Have you ever thought about it like that? Your spiritual bank account that God Himself is funding. But here’s the kicker—you have to know how to make a withdrawal!
When you honor God with your first fruits, when you give, when you take that step of faith, you’re unlocking the floodgates of His blessings. This isn’t about “God’s money”—it’s yours.
He’s just the one who makes it multiply! Yet here we are, leaving blessings untouched because we don’t realize they’re ours for the taking. It’s not about managing God’s money; it’s about owning your inheritance. Go ahead—claim it!
The Parable of the Prodigal Son: An Eye-Opener
In the parable of the prodigal son, the elder brother is fuming, bitter that his father seems to be dishing out too much to the younger one.
But here’s the kicker—his father says, “All that I have is thine” (Luke 15:31). Did you catch that? It was already his, yet he acted like it wasn’t.
He had the whole estate at his fingertips but never bothered to claim it.
Sound familiar? You and I do this all the time. Our incredible inheritance is right there, waiting for us, and we’re just sitting back, not realizing it’s already ours!
It’s like walking past an unopened letter that contains a treasure, but you never stop to open it. That inheritance is yours, but you have to claim it. You don’t have to wait until heaven—it’s here now.
The Key to Unlocking Your Inheritance
So how do you access it? How do you make withdrawals from your heavenly account?
First, you need to believe it’s yours. I’ve always believed in the importance of faith—not just in theory, but in action.
If you don’t believe that God has freely given you His inheritance, you’ll never act on it.
I’ll tell you what hit me like a ton of bricks: God’s blessings—like healing, protection, provision, breakthroughs, etc.—aren’t some far-off dream—they’re here, right now.
I looked back at my life and saw it clearly. Every breakthrough? It came from stepping out in faith and claiming what was already mine. You can do the same. So why wait? Claim it!
To access your inheritance, you need to believe, ask, and act in faith. Start by recognizing what’s available to you.
The inheritance is sitting there in your spiritual account, but it won’t do any good if you don’t know how to use it.
Conclusion: Your Inheritance Awaits
I’ll be real with you—I’ve grown leaps and bounds since I caught the revelation of God’s inheritance for me. This isn’t about sitting around, waiting for something to happen. It’s about waking up to the fact that it’s already here. God’s faithfulness guarantees you don’t have to wait for heaven to tap into the fullness of His blessings. They’re yours right now!
So, I challenge you today—go claim what’s yours. Don’t leave your inheritance unclaimed. Dive into the fullness of your redemption, and watch as God opens amazing doors you never thought possible. Your inheritance isn’t just a distant dream. It’s your reality now.
