“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” (Romans 8:16-17).
What would your response be, if you got a phone call today, informing you that your great-great-grandfather owned the highest shares in one of the topmost banks in the world, and his missing will had just been found, bequeathing all his shares in the company, now worth billions of dollars to his first great-great-grandchild, and that’s you?
For some people, they may pass-out on the spot and require resuscitation. Others may go wild with joy! Some would immediately begin to spend the money that they haven’t even seen yet; it would be an immediate status upgrade from that moment. Sounds like a nice thought doesn’t it? Yet, the Bible shows us that we have something a trillion times better!
If you’re born again, you have an inheritance and it was bequeathed to you by the Monarch of the universe—the One who said “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts” (Haggai 2:8). All the wealth in this world actually belong to Him: the money, precious stones, minerals, oil and everything that men believe they own all belong to the Lord and you’re His heir. You’re the heir of the mega-rich God. He is the fountain of riches. His wealth is limitless, inestimable and unquantifiable. That makes you richer than those on the Forbes’ list! Hallelujah!
Your ‘Papa’s’ wealth isn’t subject to the market forces of this world; it isn’t subject to the oil prices or the stability of the world’s currencies. That’s why it’s an insult to God for His kids to be broke or live beggarly lives. What you must learn to do is tap into this limitless wealth by faith through your confessions. Begin to voice out your faith; declare everyday that you’re rich and blessed beyond measure.
Get rid of the poverty-talk. Your heavenly Father has bequeathed His enormous wealth to you, and unlike the wills made by men on behalf of their beneficiaries, He isn’t dead—He’s alive and will see to it that nothing deprives you of your inheritance.
Confession
I’m an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. My father is the embodiment of superabundant wealth and riches and that makes me the heir of the mega-rich God. I’m connected to an endless stream of prosperity, riches and glory. I’ll never be broke and I’ll never be poor in my life.
