The Promise (Part 7)

Immediately after Jesus was born, He and his family were forced to flee to Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod.  How was their trip financed?  Through the gifts that had been brought by the wise men, which were gold, frankincense, and myrrh.  Whatever was needed to fulfill His destiny, Jesus received it.  As a joint-heir with Christ, all of your needs will be provided to enable you to fulfill your divine destiny.

Jesus became the supreme sacrifice through which we are reconciled and restored into fellowship with the Father. Through His blood, you have entered into a New Covenant by which you have been made a joint-heir with Jesus:

Romans 8:16, 17 AMP "The Spirit Himself (thus) testifies together with our own spirit, (assuring us) that we are children of God. And if we are (His) children, then we are (His) heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ-sharing His inheritance with Him ..."

As a joint-heir with Jesus Christ, you are not limited by the resources of this world. You have direct access to the Father and all that He has belongs to you.  You do not need to rely upon your own limited resources to accomplish your divine mandate to spread the gospel to the world because you have unlimited access to the resources of heaven. 

What is your inheritance in Christ?  It is all you need to meet your personal needs and to  do your part in extending God's Kingdom.  The Bible declares:

Philippians 4:9 "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

All means exactly that-ALL.  Everything you need (not the "name it and claim it" idea of confessing mansions, expensive cars, and jewels) is your inheritance through Jesus Christ.  Your supernatural resources are not just financial blessings. 

-All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ according to Colossians 2:2, 3. 

-You are enriched in Him in all things according to 1 Corinthians 1:5, 6. 

1 Corinthians 4:8 NIV "Already you have all you want! Already you have become rich!"  

-The tremendous spiritual power Jesus has given you is something that cannot be purchased with money:

Acts 8:18-22 "And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God."

Through your covenant relationship with God which Christ made possible, there is total provision for every need in your life, such as salvation, protection, health,  peace, deliverance, power, security, and finances.  In addition, God has also given you spiritual gifts, talents, and abilities to accomplish your divine destiny.   Indeed, you are very rich thru the power of God. It may not be the wealth the world looks upon, but He will take care of you when the world is on fire!
