Come Into Your Inheritance

Sunday December 26, 2010

Our spiritual inheritance as believers

Every blessing that flows from God – salvation, deliverance, healing and health, wholeness of
mind, peace, joy, financial prosperity, blessings in every area of life, marriage, family, children,
anointing, gifts of the Spirit, signs, wonders and miracles, etc. etc. …are our spiritual inheritance.

Ephesians 1:3
Luke 12:32
Psalm 84:11
James 1:17

The book of Deuteronomy

From the time of their Exodus from Egypt, till the end of their time at Horeb (Mt. Sinai), was 1
year, 1 month and 5 days.

From Horeb they had a 11-day journey to Kadesh, right on the East of the river Jordan. This is
where they sent out 12 spies who came back with their report. The people of Israel choose to
believe the report of the 10 spies, and eventually ended up wandering around Mt. Seir for 38
years.

What keeps people in the wilderness?


Deuteronomy 1:26-33
Rebellion against the command of God (vs 26)
Murmuring/complaining (vs 27)
Discouragement (vs 28)
Unbelief (vs 32)

1 Corinthians 10:1-11
The apostle Paul looks at the spiritual dimension of what took place during the wilderness:
Lust for evil things (vs 6)
Idolatry (vs 7)
Sexual impurity (vs 8)
Tempting Christ (vs 9)
Murmuring (vs 10)

Circling round the same mountain


Deuteronomy 2:1,2

Mt. Seir was a mountain range 70 miles N-S, and 30 miles E-W. The people of Israel spent 38
years going around the mountain, until God said “it is enough”…time to come in to your
inheritance.

Some of us are stuck in the wilderness.


We are going around in circles. The scenery is changing, but our position remains the same.
We’re still at the same mountain. We are caught in a loop.

God is good all the time – even in the wilderness. He provides manna, quail, water, the pillar of
cloud, and fire. However, this should not be mistaken as God wanting us to stay in the
wilderness. God does not want us to live in the wilderness. He wants us to come in to our
inheritance, our land of promise.

The book of Deuteronomy was given, perhaps in 1-day, as Moses recounted all that had
happened in the last 39 years and then provides instruction on what to do as they go into their
land of promise.

Here are some lessons we can glean, as the people of Israel transitioned from circling around Mt.
Seir – and began to move into their land of promise.

1, Choose your battles


God said do not fight against:
Edom (Deuteronomy 2:4,5)
Moab (Deuteronomy 2:9)
Ammon (Deuteronomy 2:19)
Example of Josaih, king of Judah (2 Chronicles 35:20-25). He chose to fight in a wrong battle and
lost his life.

God said fight against


Sihon, the Amorite king (Deuteronomy 2:24,25)
Og, king of Bashan (Deuteronomy 3:1,2)

2, Consolidate your victories


Deuteronomy 3:12, 17
The land East of Jordan given to the Reubenites, the Gadites and half the tribe of Mannesah.

Each taste God gives you, is really an invitation to come and permanently dine at that table.
Each visit to a higher realm, is really an invitation to make that visitation a permanent habitation
in the realm of the spirit.

3, Build on each success


Deuteronomy 3:18,21,22

The armed men must go up. You will never possess your inheritance without a fight.
Although God fully intended to give the land of Cannan to His people, they still had to fight and
take possession of the land.

Moses encourage Joshua to remember the God who have given victories in the past. There were
bigger cities, greater kings, taller giants – but remember God who had given victories in the past.
Let past victories encourage you to believe God for greater victories.

4, Keep the Word


Deuteronomy 4:6-9, 23,24, 38,40
Deuteronomy 5:29
Deuteronomy 6:6-9, 11:22,23

5, Guard your heart
Deuteronomy 7:2, 11:16

6, Give God all the glory


Deuteronomy 8:7-10, 17,18
Deuteronomy 9:1-6

God is calling us “come into your inheritance”

I renounce the wilderness mentality. I renounce the wilderness lifestyle. I break every chain,
everything that holds me in the wilderness and I move into my promised land.

INVIATATION TO RECEIVE CHRIST


We like to end our services by giving an invitation to any one here who has never experienced
the power of Jesus Christ in their lives to do so. The Lord Jesus Christ, who is God – came into
this world about 2000 years ago, as a Man. He was crucified on a cross where He took upon Him
the sins of the whole world and paid for them. He died and rose up again, and ascended back
into heaven. He is alive today. If you will believe in Him you will be saved.
