Hey readers, I thought of sharing this with you. I will be discussing 'my heritage in Christ as a believer'. What am i entitled to as a believer and Christ son/daughter. Firstly, heritage is something that is passed from one generation to the next. In other words, inheritance. So what is/are my inheritance in Christ??? If I know them, do I need to sit down and look at them or I need to confess/claim them. In an article, Now are we in Christ by Kenneth Copeland, He discussed different promises of Jesus that we are entitled to as Christians (Christ followers).
Our identity covers everything and all aspect of life (spiritual, financial, material, marital, educational...so on). For instance, we have been translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of Christ Jesus, the Son...we have been redeem (Colossians 1:13&14, KJV). We are saved (Romans 10:13; Ephesians 2:8&9) and justified by His blood (Romans 5:9). We are receive our healing in His name (Isaiah 53:5,KJV). We are redeemed from the every curses (Galatians 3:13) and we are entitled to Abraham's blessing (verse 14-29). We are no longer under bondage, we are free (Galatians 4-5:1). We are new creature/being in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17) and poverty is not found in Him (2 Corinthians 8:9). With these points listed above...we as Christians/believers must contend in word/prayer/believe/confess this. That is the reason we need to know the word by heart and for our self because the devil knows that ones we confess and believe those words...the battle is over.
The bible says, by mouth confession is made,...our word is like a seed that becomes whatever is planted/spoken. So today, I advice you to search the scripture and begin today by claiming your inheritance/identity in Jesus. Personally, one thing I do each is to make confession....I do this immediately after my devotion. Well, things have changed for me since I made it an habit...you can get into that habit too & see God move mighty in your life.
It shall be well with you, I declare today that you and yours is bless, favor will surround you from today henceforth. You will not be stranded, God will direct your path and cause you to shine for His glory in Jesus name.
Stay blessed!
