Lay Claim To Your Blessings And Inheritance

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread (Matthew 6:9-11).

The Master taught His disciples to pray, following the pattern in the scripture above. He didn’t say to them, “Pray this prayer”; rather, He told them to pray “in this manner.” This was before He completed His redemptive work. Today, He’s made salvation available to all—both the Jews and non-Jews—we need not pray to God anymore to give us our daily bread because He’s already done it!

The whole point of the scripture above is that it shows us that there’s a daily allocation of blessings for us from heaven.

Every Christian is born with, and into, a glorious inheritance in Christ. Sadly, a lot of God’s children have never laid claim to what rightfully belongs to them. And so, there’s an accumulation of blessings waiting to be claimed. God’s provision for you today isn’t like the “manna” of the Old Testament which the Israelites ate in the wilderness.

Though manna came from heaven, the people couldn’t keep any leftovers because it would decay by the next day.

In this day of the Church, however, our stored-up allocations remain intact, and we can always lay claim to them by our words, calling them forth, in the Name of Jesus. All creation has the capacity to respond to spoken words. This is the key to laying hold on your inheritance in Christ.

Everything in creation, whether existing in tangible or intangible form, has memory. And so, they can all respond to spoken words. So, speak the right words always, and your life will be full of blessings.

Through your words, you can claim all the accumulated blessings already granted you in Christ.
