Your Kingdom Inheritance
Are you born again and being led by the Holy Spirit? If so, you have been named as a joint heir with the Lord Jesus in His Kingdom. Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when He adopted you as His own children. Now we call Him, “Abba, Father.” For His Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. And since we are His children, we are His heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share His glory, we must also share His suffering. Romans 8:12-17
Jesus is our King, but He is not our inheritance, He is a joint heir of our Father. Our inheritance is "the kingdom prepared for (us) since the foundation of this world". Then the King will say to those on His right, "Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world." Matthew 25:34 The gift that the King gives us is His Kingdom. This kingdom has been ours since the creation of the world. Adam and Eve enjoyed that Kingdom before they disobeyed. Satan deceived them into sin (disobedience) and stole our inheritance as well as theirs. You see, Adam and Eve lost the "papers" in the Garden when they were disobedient to the command of God. Another word for it is "forfeited". They lost the Kingdom benefits, for themselves and their future generations. The Lord Jesus had to come to earth to restore the Kingdom! I must preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God in other towns, too, because that is why I was sent. Luke 4:43-44
Jesus came to remove Satan from his illegal occupation of the throne and make it possible for us to reclaim our inheritance. King Jesus is, in a sense, the executor of our estate. Even though our inheritance has been waiting for us since the creation of the world, we must go through Jesus to receive it. That is a fact!
Example: Now suppose you have an uncle, your mother's brother, who passed away, and left you an inheritance of 70 million dollars while you were still a child. He appointed your older brother as the executor. Even though the inheritance is yours, you cannot fully claim it until you reach the legal age of accession, or the age designated by your uncle in your will. As the executor, your older brother has the authority and responsibility to keep and administer the estate until the day arrives when it passes fully into your control. In the meantime, your brother stands between you and your inheritance, which makes him a mediator. Until you come of age, any benefits of your inheritance that you desire must come through him.
Now concerning the spiritual realm, Jesus the Christ is the mediator between God and us (meaning mankind). He stands between God's Kingdom and us. He mediates between our inheritance and us. We cannot receive the full benefits of our inheritance unless we go through Him. Jesus said to him, “I am the [only] Way [to God] and the [real] Truth and the [real] Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. John 14:6 AMP
Keep in mind, once you come of age, you can come before your brother, who is the trustee of your 70 million dollar inheritance and say to him "I am now of age; I qualify. Give me the inheritance that my uncle left for me". All he then needs from you is proof of your identification and that you have met all the qualifications. Once he sees that everything is in order, he cannot keep your 70 million dollar inheritance. It is yours, free and clear, and you have access to all the rights, privileges and opportunities that it affords you.
Remember, when we take Jesus at His Word--when we trust Him as the one who can cleanse us of our sin disobedience--when we give Him control and acknowledge Him as Lord of our lives, we meet all the "qualifications" necessary to receive our Kingdom inheritance.
Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people--none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Please note: Remember, until you embrace the kingdom concept, you will always have a religious mind. Using phrases such as "be blessed" or saying once saved always saved" reinforce a religious mindset. As you become more familiar with Kingdom government terms, it will increase your perspective of God's inheritance, His constitution, testaments, governor, laws and principles.
Please remember that our Kingdom inheritance goes far beyond financial gain. As you read the Lord God's constitution, look for examples of that inheritance, not only the eternal, but the temporal in your life. What have you inherited from your Heavenly Father that is manifesting in your life?
