Our Inheritance: Which box is your faith in part 4

God Morning! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me David Mitchell on this Thursday August 27, 2009. Now all week we have been talking about inheritance and to several different capacities. We spoke from process, commitment, and purpose up until yesterday. Those things will help you get to your inheritance and maintain it. But what is your inheritance? What would you want your inheritance to be? Is it money, cars, houses, or relationships? All of these things are material and shall not last. Our inheritance is everlasting from before us to eternity. Our Inheritance is Jesus. Think about this for a second. You have two boxes. In the first box we have all our worldly desires like money, cars, houses, even multiple lovers, and in the other box you have Jesus only. The first box comes with all of your pleasures in life and the second box comes with daily suffering and persecution. Now be honest… which box will would you place your faith in. Box one or the second box. The obvious choice is the first box right? Only a fool would willingly suffer day in and day out…right? Well if you decided to place your faith in the first box you are going to have a grand ol’ time. You will have all of your things to keep you occupied. But what will you do when the money runs out. when the money runs out, the repo man will come from around the corner for your cars. And of course you were only able to push back 2 months of mortgage payments and now your house is being foreclosed on. And finally the multiple lovers of yours are all gone because you couldn’t maintain that lifestyle. Sounds great, huh good choice. Now lets say you put your faith in the second box. You see all of people that put there faith in the first box flourish as you endure all of that pain and anger while you are in the process. Your love grows for God and out of nowhere people just start coming into your life helping you out and giving you exactly what you need at that exact time for free, cause we know you could afford it. Now your back on your feet working in your purpose hand in hand with Jesus. Your finances have stabilized and even begun to increase due to the fact that God has made provision for you way back during the Suffering stage. Now that you are reaping you are able to afford the car you wanted way back when. And of course God worked out a tremendous deal on your dream home that of course seems too good to be true. He always likes to surprise you, right. Of course you can’t forgetting those who helped you along the way so now your relationships are long lasting sustained. Well I think I want to put my faith in the second box. I’ll like to get my lil but of suffering out of the way so I can lead the latter part of my life In my inheritance. The Inheritance are not the “THINGS” that God has promised. The inheritance is Jesus. Due to our obedience He will gladly reward us with those things, as long as they don’t take His place in our hearts. Please read Ezekiel 44:28


And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
