An heir

“So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.”Galatians‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I see a lot of movies promoted on FB about a rich heir marrying a stranger so as to inherit a fortune. All the movies carry a similar theme. For the Christian we inherit the kingdom of God. It is a kingdom we have not seen with our natural eyes but with our hearts.

We have a Heavenly Father and a brother, Jesus, who made this all possible. To be acceptable we must walk in faith in Jesus for our entry. He said, ‘I am the way!’ The is no other entry point. Nothing I can do will bring this glorious truth and opportunity except humble acceptance that I am not enough for heaven but with Him I am accepted.

I am currently living in a land awash with other gods. None of them lay down their lives for their followers, none paid for their sins, none gave them enlightenment like Jesus. He is the light they all seek. I live by faith in Him and not my own works. I see lovely ladies scurry off each morning with offerings for their god, I worship my Jesus and read His word in my room, I carry Him in my songs, my heart overflows in gratitude to Him.

What a hope I carry!
