HARNESSING YOUR INHERITANCE!
Psalms 31:19 KJV
Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
The Spirit of God through, Apostle Paul gave insight into our inheritance,
Ephesians 3:8 AMPC
To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s consecrated people), this grace (favor, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out].
The wealth mentioned in the above text is riches laid up for us as heirs of God on the earth, the reason the Spirit says that no human being could discover it.
1 Kings 4:29 NLT
God gave Solomon very great wisdom and understanding, and knowledge as vast as the sands of the seashore.
The above scripture sheds light on why Solomon was the richest man who lived on the earth in his days and even afterward.
The LORD God endowed with the spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, and Knowledge which caused him to be sagacious, knowing what to do to harness the riches that God laid upon the earth.
The phrase “laid up” in our opening scripture is from the Hebrew word “tsaphan” which means to hide. This means these riches are hidden from the general view.
I remember a testimony of a minister of God in Malawi who said God asked him to buy a particular landed property, and afterward, he discovered that the land had natural resources.
Colossians 1:9 AMPC
For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things.
The spirit that God gave to King Solomon made him the world’s richest man as highlighted in the above scripture, the spirit of Wisdom gives us comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God, and the spirit of Knowledge gives insight into God’s will, and the spirit of Understanding which gives us insight into mysteries and secrets, comprehension of spiritual things.
Apostle Paul prayed for the brethren at Ephesus, asking that they may be filled with the fullness of God (see Ephesians 3:19).
The fullness of God is the seven spirits of God highlighted in Isaiah 11:2, and they are fully present in our spirits, which are indivisibly united with Christ, and as we daily meditatively pray the Pauline prayer of Colossians 1:9, we receive Insight to harness our divine inheritance. Hallelujah!
Prayer
Thank you, heavenly Father, for the goodness that you laid up for me before the foundation of the world, such wealth that no human could search out
I declare that by the spirit of Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding, which are fully repleted in my soul, I harness these riches in Jesus name; amen!
