Leading the Way: Understanding Our Inheritance in Christ

When God gives a vision, He also provides the provision. This powerful truth from Joshua’s story teaches us about claiming our inheritance as children of God and leading the way in faith.

What Does It Mean to Be an Heir of God?

As believers, we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. This inheritance isn’t about material wealth, but about having access to every spiritual blessing in Christ. We have been adopted into God’s family and given full rights as His children.

How Do We Claim Our Spiritual Inheritance?

To fully claim our inheritance, we must:

Adjust our attitude to one of gratitude
Believe God’s promises
Challenge our capacity to grow in faith
Maintain disciplined devotion to God’s Word
Trust in His empowerment

What Holds Us Back from Leading the Way?

Often, we face “giants” that can intimidate us:

Health problems
Relationship challenges
Economic setbacks
Fear of the future
Past burdens
Social injustice

But like Joshua, we must remember God’s promise: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

How Can We Be “All In” for God?

Being “all in” means:

Making a clear decision to serve God
Letting go of what holds us back
Staying devoted to God’s Word
Taking steps of faith even when afraid
Trusting God’s provision

Life Application

This week, consider these questions:

What “giants” are you facing that make you hesitate to step out in faith?
Are there areas where you need to be “all in” for God?
How can you better access your spiritual inheritance through God’s Word?

Challenge: Choose one area where you’ve been holding back and take a step of faith this week, remembering that God’s provision follows His vision.

Remember: When God calls you to lead the way, He will provide everything you need to fulfill that calling. You are His heir, equipped with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
