We are the inheritance of God!
Scripture: Ephesians 1:9-12
(Through yielding to the Spirit, we can change history by becoming a conduit for God’s will.)
As you mature you begin to understand binding in heaven and loosening on earth. You begin
to understand alignments with heaven, “as heaven on earth”
In Ephesians 1:9-11 we are told, “In whom also we have obtained an inheritance being
predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel
of His will…” There is a family of Greek words that give us different shades of meaning.
There is klay-ron-om-eh-o. The first word means to inherit, to inherit something. The next
word is klay-ron-om-ee-ah. The emphasis here is an inheritance or the property received. The
third word in this family is klay-ron-om-os. Here the key is to become an heir. And
finally, we mention the word that is used in Ephesians 1:11 and that is klay-ro-o-mi. In the
use of this word the focus is on the casting of lots to obtain an inheritance and finally the fifth
word the one that is the root is klay-ro-o which is the verb to inherit. The meaning of klay-
ro-o with the addition of o-mai is that we become the inheritance. This not only includes
what we are given but the deeper truth that unfolds is that we become drafted as God’s
inheritance. Christ, in effect, surveys Sons and Daughters and drafts those who have paid the
price of maturity. These saints are presented back to God to be sown as needed to benefit His
Family (and His eternal purposes. That brings an entirely different application to Ephesians, a
new layer of importance and meaning in studying this Epistle. Digging into these word
meanings paints a fuller picture. We eclipse receiving our inheritance by becoming the
inheritance. We are the inheritance of God! We discover a path to the fullness of Christ.
Mature saints accept the responsibility of co-rule and move God’s Hand in prayer! Now we
have a much larger stake in the issue because we are God’s demonstration of His inheritance
on the earth. There are reasons why we must yield to the Spirit. Through yielding to the
Spirit, we can change history by becoming a conduit for God’s will. We become the fullness
of Christ in our generation! The Ephesian\’s prayers are answered in us!
