If the heir is a child

A child is vested with the same muscles the strongest person is vested with. A young male child, for example, has as many muscles as Arnold Schwarzenegger -a five-time Mr. Universe titles and six Mr. Olympia crowns during his bodybuilding career- the only difference is that Schwarzenegger has had his muscles developed through exercise and use so much so that he was champion several years in a row, back to back.

But the child, even though has the same muscles as Arnold Schwarzenegger, has not developed them and as such, they cannot help him. So that it is not so much about what you have but what you do with what you have. The Bible says though the child is the heir, he is not any different from a slave.

"Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;"(Gal.4.1)

Is it possible that the only reason you have not come into your own is that you are still a child? That you have not exercised your senses through use? Paul talkéd about those who learn constantly but have not come to maturity.

"Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." (2Tim.3.7)

What are you learning? But much more than learning, are you using what you learn? Are exercising your faith. We mature through use.

"But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." (Heb.5.14)

No one delivers inheritance to a foolish child. The prodigal son is a very good example, he squandered his inheritance because he has not learned and as a result could not use the inheritance profitably. ( see Luke 15) Are you a child? Grow up, grow unto your place, grow into your inheritance, grow into everything God has in store for you.

Good day,
And have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
