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 defend it? We must be eternally vigilant. The Bible warns us to watch and pray. It is by prayer that we discover the inheritance falling to us and it is by prayer we guard it. However, whatsoever we do not gain by our own strength we cannot sustain it by effort. To this end therefore it is not the amount or effort put into prayer it is the heart of said prayer. It is not the multitude of words, it is the simple trust in God and His power to keep that which we entrust to Him to the end. Oh! For the sweetness of surrender. Oh! For the prayer of the man who acknowledges that they can not on their own. Oh! For the grace to lean on Him. Today do not put your faith in your prayer; let your prayer be the expression of your faith in God. Do not worry about the content of prayer. Consider the power of your God. “…for I know whom I have believed, I am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him against that day.(2nd Timothy1:12)
