6And because you are sons, God has sent forth the
Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and
if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
“If
you are a Christian, why are you sick?”
“If
your heavenly Father is so wonderful, why do you have so many problems?
“Doesn’t
your God help you, His child?”
Imagine
such questions levelled at you. If you are tempted to ask, “God, I am Your
child. Why is this happening to me?” know that Jesus knows how you feel because
2,000 years ago, the devil played the same trick on Him — “If you are
the Son of God…” (Matthew 4:3) You see, his intention was to make
Jesus doubt His Sonship, and the devil wants to do the same thing to you today.
The
devil wants to destroy the Spirit of sonship in you and in the body of
believers. He knows that once you really believe that you are a son of God,
something happens — you begin to live life as “an heir of God through Christ”.
As
a son, you inherit! You inherit all the blessings of God which Jesus died to
give you, including salvation, healing, prosperity, wholeness, favour, intimacy
with God and answered prayers. And Jesus rose from the dead to make sure that
what He died to give you, you get! He is alive today to enforce this rich,
blood-bought inheritance in your life!
You
are an heir of God through Christ. This means that you are joint heirs with
Jesus — what He inherits, you inherit.
What
is prosperity when you are an heir of God? All the diamonds and gold came from
Him. What is provision when you are an heir of God? God owns every beast in the
forest and the cattle on a thousand hills. What is healing when you are an heir
of God? God is your Creator and the very breath of your life.
Enjoy every bit of your inheritance in Christ, not
because you deserve it, but because it was paid for by Jesus’ blood. It is your
blood-bought right!
