Everything You Need, You Already Have.
Have you ever felt like you're constantly striving for more, even though you know you should be content with what you have?
The truth is, as children of God, we already have everything we need. The key is to recognize and embrace our inheritance in Christ.
In this lesson, we'll explore how God has given us all things through our knowledge of Him and how we can take our place of dominion by understanding our oneness with Him.
According to 2 Peter 1:3, "His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness."
Reflect on the fact that God is greater than everything He created. He not only gave you all things and blessed you with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ, but He also gave you Himself.
Christ in you is everything. It represents your oneness with Him and your position in Him. It allows you to use His Name, which holds the same power as He does as a person.
Some Christians don't understand this and continue to pray for help or requests, but that's unnecessary because He gave you His Name, and you're a joint-heir with Him, meaning you share in His inheritance. As stated in our theme verse, He has given you everything you need for a godly life.
In Luke 12:32, Jesus says, "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom."
You have been given the Kingdom. There's nothing of Him that you don't have; nothing He hasn't given you.
He gave you His life, His Name, and His wealth, and you're seated together with Him in the heavenly realms.
So, take your place of dominion, reigning and ruling with Him.
PRAYER TIME.
I’m what God says I am, I have all He says I have, and I can do all things in His Name. All things are possible to me because I believe. I’m rich in all things, having inherited all things, for I’m a joint-heir with Christ! Praise God!
