Daily Bread - June 18, 2004

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

I have made you a joint heir of all things through Christ. You are an heir to the promises. You are an heir to righteousness. You are an heir to the kingdom of God. You are an heir to all that I have. This is a right given to you by me. You must understand who you are if you are to live up to the privileges that are yours by promise. All things that are mine have been transmitted unto you. The promise was given to Abraham and his seed, which is Christ. Upon the death of Christ, he arose to make you and all who believe heirs. If you be Christ's, then are you Abraham's seed. If any man has not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his. You are my offspring and a descendant of Christ. You are the result of Christ Jesus and a member of his body. He is the head of this family, the family of God. You are the descendant of a king. Your lineage is important. Those who are in the lineage of Christ have the bloodline of God Almighty. I am your parent. Look back to your ancestry, and behold your heritage and background. If you are born again, you have a new origin, for all things are new. Christ is your beginning and your ending. He is your foundation and your establishment. A new generation has been unveiled. Get up, and declare my generation. In Adam, all die. In Christ, all live. Be not beguiled by the philosophies of the hour lest you despise your birthright and sell it for what is in the bowls of traditions. Do not sell your birthright for the morsels of emptiness in the hands of false teachers. You are entitled to all that I have. You have succeeded to a hereditary position in Christ, who is heir to the throne of God. You have received endowment from me. Now all of my qualities have become yours. You have received the divine portion left to you as an inheritance. Everyone who has left houses, land, brothers, sisters for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold in this life and eternal life. Though you will be persecuted for my name's sake, accept this is a badge of honor. The servant is not greater than his master. If I have been persecuted, then why should you not be persecuted?

I am your ancestor. All that I have is descendible by the law of God at the death of the testator. Now as a legacy, you are a joint heir with Christ in all things. Get up, and voice the proclamation of your heritage in the ears of your enemy, for I have transmitted all of my possessions and rights to you by inheritance.

Amos 3: 7 - 8

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
