My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the name of the Lord be glorified. Today, let us read from the book of Deuteronomy 18:2, which says, “The Lord is their inheritance, as He had said to them.”
My dear brothers and sisters, today the Lord says that He alone is your inheritance. When Joshua divided the land of Canaan among the twelve tribes of Israel, one tribe, the tribe of Levi, was not given a specific portion of land. Instead, God Himself became their inheritance. My dear children of God, imagine this great blessing: instead of a portion of land, if the Lord Himself is your inheritance, it is far greater.
The fat portions given as an inheritance to the tribe of Levi were not just material things. God Himself was with them and took the place of an ambassador for them. Today, God is looking at you and saying that you are all priests. This means God Himself is your portion, your wealth, and your property. So, to those of you who say, “I have no wealth, no property in my native place, no house of my own, and no business place,” and to those who have spent all their income on rent, the Lord is telling you today that He Himself is your property and inheritance. Therefore, tell the Lord, “Yes, Lord, You are our portion, our property. You are our permanent, unshakeable property in this world and in the world to come. You alone are our inheritance.”
If you say, “Lord, You are my portion, my property, and my inheritance,” God will bless you with more than you have asked for. As the scripture says, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33) The Lord will give you the property you desire. Consider that being with the Lord is the greatest wealth. If there is one who will never disappoint or deceive you, it is the Lord. He is the most reliable and permanent inheritance. Today, if you have placed your trust in worldly possessions, turn to the Lord and declare, “Lord, You are my property, my wealth, my inheritance, my strength, and my life.” God will then give you the inheritance you have never even asked for and establish you in ways you never imagined.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, we thank You. In the name of Jesus, I bless all Your children. Lord, there is no greater blessing than what comes from You. You hold all blessings in Your hands. You have life, fortune, and treasure with You. It is You, O Lord, who gives us generations and descendants, who grants us permanent inheritance. You are our wealth, our treasure, our property. We accept You as our portion and our wealth. Do all things for Your children that they need, and as they give You first place and priority in their lives, may they inherit the best You have for them.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray.
Amen.
