"Portion!"
So many times, Believers in Christ seek God to grant them some additional measure of blessing. Whether it may be financial, health or understanding.
What is sometimes overlooked is that HE has established an Everlasting Covenant with us who have received Christ as Lord and Savior, and by Faith trust HIM in every aspect of life.
Why ask for strength, courage or deliverance, when God has already poured out every good measure unto us, unless we think HIM to be a liar?
In early American History, during those frontier days, settlers traveled into unknown and uncharted territories, with a hope of finding Peace and Rest from peril and persecution. Upon finding this haven, the 1st order of business was to file a claim, which established by law the rightful ownership.
This is exactly what Believers in Christ are commanded to do. Jehovah God has already provided Peace and Rest, it is up to us to STAKE our Claim and inhabit HIS Provision for our inheritance.
Many times we may be considered to be robbers, such that we want the provision of someone elses inheritance. Whatever it may be! God knows our every need, and HE has a Covenant to keep with us.
Any shortcomings are from within us, in that we do not CLAIM every Promise God has already set forth as our inheritance.
With Power of Holy Spirit, we are to press on into our Promised Land, making every effort to utilize each and every gifting from HIM, proclaiming HIS Glory abroad!
