Do You Know Your Inheritance?

Do You Know Your Inheritance?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know they have an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, unfading, and kept in heaven for them. In Jesus’ name, amen.

When the newspapers announce a famous person has died and left an enormous estate worth millions, people take notice. Who are the beneficiaries? What will the heirs do with all that money?

The news of what inheritance believers and followers of Jesus get should be on the front page! It is truly amazing and revealed in 1 Peter 1:3-5 (ESV):

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

Knowing the faithful will be beneficiaries and heirs, and will inherit something worth more than all the millions, rejoice and again I say rejoice!

O Death, Where Is Your Victory?

O Death, Where Is Your Victory?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for believers who know they have victory over death. In Jesus’ name, amen.

The very thought of victory over death is powerful. Believers are assured of eternal life in John 3:16 (ESV):

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

This is reinforced by the Apostle Paul writing in 1 Corinthians 15:53-56 (ESV):

”For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

‘Death is swallowed up in victory.’
‘O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?’”

Be confident of victory over death.

This is Good News indeed. It is time to sing the song,
“Go Tell it On The Mountain.” Go tell it now.
