AND NABOTH SAID TO AHAB, “THE LORD FORBID IT ME THAT I SHOULD GIVE THE INHERITANCE OF MY FATHERS TO THEE”
1 KINGS 21:8
King AHAB was the ruler of Israel and He desired Naboth’s vineyard seeing that it was close to the palace. Naboth however refused to give it up even at the cost of his own life.
How do we recognize our inheritance? Paul says, “I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, and the riches and the glory of your inheritance together with the saints. Thus the first thing we must do is pray that God may reveal what we own and who we are. That we may realize like Paul; the power of resurrection. Today ask God to open your eyes and be on the look out for a miracle. Tell Him you want to see that which belongs to you as an inheritance. The other way and probably the most critical is maturing in Christ. As long as the son is a child the inheritance remains in the custody of the servants. Our inheritance is therefore not being hidden from us, to the contrary it is hidden for us. Unless we mature spiritually, we cannot be allowed to the inheritance. Today feed on the word of God and seek the face of God that you mature. The more you read the word, you will realize it is like a scavenger hunt. You will find gems of wealth stored especially for you. It will help you grow and also in it you will find your inheritance.
