Daily Rhema: The Christian Abrahamic Inheritance

Proverbs 13:22 KJVS
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Natural Israelites in the Old Testament are the physical seed of Abraham and have a physical inheritance of the land in Palestine and physical, material and financial blessings in this life time from God through Abraham: blessings that belong to them, simply because they are the seed of Abraham (Gen. 12:1-3; Gen. 15:18-21; Deut. 7:12-15).

History has proven that God has been faithful to Israel concerning these promises: whenever Israel has been obedient to God, like under Joshua, David, Solomon and other good leaders, we see these promises, to a great degree, fulfilled in and to them.

In fact, even when Israel in the majority has been disobedient, God still blessed the nation because of the obedience of a faithful few. This has been true throughout the history of Israel. We still see God’s blessings and favour on Israel since she became a nation again in 1948.

Israel is still being greatly blessed today, in the face of great opposition and odds financially; in science and technology, in agriculture, in military prowess: we still see a significant measure of the physical blessings of Abraham on the Israelite nation, in spite of the fact that the majority of the nation is secular and do not know and serve God like their fathers did.

Now, we the Church of Jesus Christ, are the spiritual seed of Abraham through the Lord Jesus Christ, and like natural Israel, have an inheritance in God through Abraham (Gal. 3:29).

What then is the Christian Abrahamic inheritance and how do we get it?

God’s promise to Abraham was that He would give him a son (Isaac) and bless the physical nation that would come through Isaac. That nation (Israel) was to physically birth the Lord Jesus Christ and so ultimately bless all the nations of the earth through the Lord Jesus.

God fulfilled His Word to Abraham and supernaturally gave him Isaac at the age of 99 (Gen. 17-18, 21). After this, God tested Abraham by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. When Abraham passed this test, then God gave a promise confirmed with an oath to Abraham’s spiritual seed (Gen. 22:16-18, Heb. 6:13-20).

It is this promise confirmed with an oath that is the Christian Abrahamic inheritance. This Christian Abrahamic inheritance is firstly a spiritual inheritance, and then it includes all the physical blessings that were promised and given to natural Israel:

Hebrews 8:6 MKJV
But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much He is also the Mediator of a better covenant, which was built upon better promises.
