The Bible makes it clear that a battle line has been drawn between two kingdoms. One is the kingdom of God: the kingdom of light and righteousness. The other is the kingdom of the devil: the kingdom of darkness, evil, and all lies.
– Every redeemed child of God has a supernatural heritage in Him-possessions of great and inestimable value.
– Unfortunately however, many are ignorant of this truth! They have been deceived into accepting their present unpalatable condition as their portion from God: but the devil is a liar!
– Every one of us has a possession and promise in God. However, those promises need to manifest in the natural form, before you can enjoy its benefits, otherwise they may as well remain non-existent.
– This verse in Obadiah is a prophetic statement about the Church of God today. Mount Zion represents the Church of God today, and the people of God are the spiritual Israelites. Hebrews 12: 22-24.
– God has a plan for your life, despite all the challenges you may be facing presently. Deuteronomy 8:7-9, 11:10-12: He has the same plans for you, and intends to give you His very best.
– From these passages, we can conclude that there is a possession and an inheritance, prepared by God with your name on it. He says He is taking you to that promised destination, so be rest assured that you will get there.
– You need to possess all your possessions to benefit maximally from being a child of the kingdom, and this is being made possible by the mercy we receive in God’s presence.
