“Therefore, let no man glory in
men. For all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21).
Did you notice the Bible didn't say
some things, or all spiritual things are yours? Rather, it says all things are
yours! You may say, “But when I look at my life, it doesn't seem as though all
things truly belong to me!” The problem is, you're looking at the wrong things.
Stop looking at what you think you don't have and receive what God has given
you.
The Bible says it's impossible for
God to lie (Hebrews 6:18); if He says all things are yours, then all things are
yours. It's your responsibility to receive God's Word into your spirit and walk
in the light of it. This is what the New Testament is all about – receiving
what God has given! You're not supposed to work to get anything because God has
already given you everything. You should know that it's one thing to be given
something and another thing to receive it.
Your responsibility is to receive
all that God has given you. Just as you had to receive His life into you by
faith to be born again, so also you must receive divine health, abundant
prosperity, success, victory and everything He gave you to live the good life
on earth. Already, these blessing are yours, but you must appropriate them to
your life by functioning in that revelation.
Live your life with the
consciousness and conviction that all things are truly yours now because the
Word of God says so. The Bible says, “…the kingdom of heaven suffereth
violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12). In other words,
lay hold on your inheritance and let nothing cheat you out of God's best.
Everything you need for life and
godliness has already been made available to you. “Why then do we pray?” you
might want to ask. Prayer is not all about asking God for things. When I pray,
I don't ask for anything, yet I lack nothing. Some people can't but mention all
their needs each time they pray because they believe God won't do anything
until they say it. If you pray like that, I want you to know that He still
won't do anything after you've said it because He's already done everything.
Prayer should be a time to fellowship with your heavenly Father.
Remember, all things are yours; therefore, receive all
things and start walking in your inheritance today.
