Chapter 9

Claiming Your Rights As an Heir of God Part 1

And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the promise.

—Galatians 3:29

In this chapter, I'm going to point out to you a few things so you can understand the importance of your heritage—your inheritance in Christ. God wants you to understand the heritage that was left for you and the legacy He wants you to leave behind concerning the things of God.

There are three phrases Paul is emphasizing in our text, Galatians 3:29, "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise": (1) "If ye be Christ's"; (2) "then are ye Abraham's seed"; and (3) "heirs according to the promise"!

What does Paul mean, "... if ye be Christ's..."? Paul is saying, "If you are a Christian—if you are born again—then certain things belong to you."

Let's take Galatians 3:29 a step further. It says, "If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed."

Now God is doing two things there in that verse. Number one, He is assuring you of something if you are Christ's. Number two, He's giving you the example of a man, Abraham, who received the blessings and benefits of walking with God. Abraham was called the Father of the Faithful.

The third thing Galatians 3:29 says is, "You're heirs"!

Now the word "heir" implies that there is an inheritance. If you are someone's heir, that means there is an inheritance in that heir-ship for you.

God wants us to honor what He has left for us. He has had people throughout history and throughout the Old Testament and the Bible walk ahead of us in that vein of the inheritance so we would know how to receive our inheritance and live in the blessings God has left us and provided for us.

We do have an inheritance because we're the children of God—because we're in Christ. There's a certain inheritance that belongs to us, and I'm talking about the physical manifestation of prosperity. I'm not talking about a spiritual inheritance. Certainly, we have a spiritual inheritance, but financial prosperity is an inheritance of God's heirs too.

God wants His children to be financially stable with our needs met and a surplus of blessings besides! These things belong to the seed of Abraham. That means they belong to us because we are in Christ!

Honor Your Inheritance by Walking in the Fullness of It

By your honoring your inheritance of prosperity, God can get the Gospel out, because you're taking your rightful place. But if you aren't taking your rightful place, you haven't become a full partner with the Lord in the area of prosperity.

You know, you can read about something in the Bible and see some information on a certain subject, and you can even make a request about the information that you have seen. You can realize that some benefit belongs to you. But until that information gets from just the mental realm to the spiritual realm and becomes a revelation in your spirit man, you will not walk in the fullness of that benefit.
