God Has Glory Locked Up in His Promises to Manifest As Our Inheritance.
Scripture: Proverbs 25:2, 1 Corinthians 2:9-10
Proverbs 25:2 says, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” God has glory locked up in His promises to manifest as our inheritance. Once He reveals it, then we begin the process of possessing it. That is what we want to do. The truth of what we are reading here in Proverbs 25:2 comes to full manifestation by the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 we are told: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” The Holy Spirit is charged with leading, guiding, prompting, pushing us into our inheritance and it starts by showing us what it is. Once we see that we begin the process of possessing those promises. How do we possess the promises? In Romans 4:13-17 the Lord promises an inheritance to Abraham. It doesn’t come to Abraham by law but it comes by faith. How does Abraham embrace his promise? Romans 4:16-17 gives us the answer. “Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all as it is written, ‘I have made you a father of many nations in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;” This is step one. To possess the promise we first must agree with what God says is our inheritance. We agree with it and say it! We call it out. That is what God did as He created the heavens and the earth by speaking it into existence. We agree with God’s Word and call forth the promise! We set ourselves in agreement with the rhema of God by confessing it with our mouths. Abraham’s negative inheritance from idolatry which was barrenness was canceled by the secret code of the promises of God in Gen 12:1-4 which was repeated over and again to Isaac and Jacob to cancel barrenness in their own homes and ENABLE the future and consequently the generations to come.
This is precisely how Abraham possessed his personal promise of God bringing forth from him not only peoples but nations. God has to give us the promise. That is the first part. That is how the revealing of our inheritance unfolds. Then it is our job to agree with it. What if we have to disinherit someone? We have to obey and stand up and call for a transfer. Obedience is better than sacrifice. ‘Lord, remove those who stand against our inheritance!’
