My Inheritance In Christ Jesus

In the parable of the vineyard, the bible says those tenants said to one
another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will
be ours.'
The heir mentioned here is referring to Jesus.

Jesus was sent to be crucified by His people and gentiles. We basically
"kill" Jesus by sending Him to the cross. Jesus knew He would be crucified
to complete the redemption work at the cross. No one can kill Jesus for He
has not commited any sin and in Him there is no sin.

With the redemptive work completed some two thousand years ago, we are
reconciled with God. It is by God's grace that we can be saved through the
sacrificial act of Jesus at the cross. The precious blood of Jesus washes
our sins away and we are forgiven people forever for we have accepted Jesus
as our Saviour and Lord.

His broken body was given up to make His people whole, healed, well, free
from pain, free from stress and anxiety. With His stripe, we are the healed
of the Lord! We can proclaim wellness and wholeness in our bodies for
Christ has paid the price for them.

Knowing inwardly what Christ has done at the cross, we can rejoice and
celebrate! For we are drafted into the kingdom of God. We are sons and
daughters of God. We are joint heir with Christ Jesus! What Jesus has, we
have, here and now!

What then does the inheritance entail? This is the promise of God that we
shall rule the universe. We are the heir of the world through the promise
God made to Abraham. We have the blessings of Abraham for we are his
descendants.

How then can the heir of the world be poor? The blessings of Abraham make
him very rich in cattle and gold. That's financial prosperity. We know, by
the grace of God, that Christ was made poor at the cross that we through
His poverty shall be made rich. Also, my God shall supply all my needs
according to the riches in glory in Christ Jesus!

How then can the heir of the world be sick? The bible says with long life
will Jesus satisfy me. What's the use of having long life if we are sick.
The Lord promises He will renew our youth like the eagles. It is a literal
renewal! The Lord will keep us from danger and harm. He will teach and
guide us as to how to have a healthy body!

Listen to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. He will teach us in all things.
All things include the power to generate wealth. All things include how to
live healthily. Now, that's my inheritance in Christ, here and now!
Hallelujah!
