Hello Partner and Friends!

I am so thankful you all are back with us today! We will be finishing up with our discussion on a life of praise. Once again, let us look at the key scripture found in Ephesians 1:12:

As a result, we- the first to place our hope in the anointed one- will live in a way to bring Him glory and praise. 

Today, we are talking about the final way that we can live a life that brings glory and praise to God - to walk in our inheritance that Jesus so graciously provided for us. In Ephesians 1:11, the Word states, “Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.”

We have received an inheritance the day we accepted Jesus as our savior. In the corporate world they would call this your benefit package. In God’s eyes, it’s called your inheritance! In this inheritance’s package, you receive many things. We are going to focus on ten of these benefits: 

1. Salvation (Ephesians 2:8)

2. Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14)

3. Spiritual Revelation (Ephesians 1:17)

4. Love (Romans 5:5)

5. Peace (John 14:27)

6. Joy (John 15:11)

7. Strength (Isaiah 41:10)

8. Mercy/Grace (Hebrews 4:16)

9. Health (1 Peter 2:24)

10. Provision (Philippians 4:19)

Walking in the above ten gifts brings God glory and praise. When you have a life filled with peace, joy, love, strength, health and provision, your day-to-day walk brings God glory. We, as Christians, sometimes don’t realize how much it honors God when we choose to walk in joy during a trial. Our life should so shine with the above ten benefits that is hard not to notice you and the benefits that envelop you. But, the adversary tries to talk us out of walking in what belongs to us every day because he knows if we do, we will bring God glory and praise. He knows that if others see us walking in this inheritance, others will want to know why and they will ask. He knows we will be able to give God praise with our answer. You see, Champions, we have such a great opportunity to bring God glory and praise by walking in our inherited benefits from a wonderful loving God. Let’s fight, by the Spirit, for everything that belongs to us through the inheritance given by Christ upon our salvation. Let us hold fast to what belongs to us and walk in the above ten benefits; and we WILL bring God glory and praise.
