Pep Talk: Heirs

Galatians 3:29
New King James Version (NKJV)
29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Genesis 13:2

New King James Version (NKJV)
Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.



The misconception in the world and even within the body of Christ is that in order to be humble and stay in God’s “good graces” is to be someone who is just make ends meet with maybe a little extra or to be close or in poverty. Those same people often believe that if the people in the church are financially successful that they must have been doing something they shouldn’t have.


Yet in the Bible we all as believers should be blessed beyond what we could imagine, which includes finances.


If you say you don’t want much, you won’t get it. If you say there’s something wrong with wealth, you won’t get it. So don’t be upset when you see others prosper financially in the church when you are barely getting by.


The Lord has made us heirs of Abraham whom was very rich. What is an heir?


noun
1.    1.
a person legally entitled to the property or rank of another on that person's death.
"his eldest son and heir"
synonyms:
successor, next in line, inheritorbeneficiarylegatee



As an heir we have to recognize that we aren’t supposed to be lacking anything and benefiting from what was given to us as believers in Jesus Christ.




Get rid of that small thinking and move on to bigger and greater things!
