In Luke 15, we have the account of the story of the prodigal son. Oftentimes our focus is on the profligate child; and there is no way we can diminish that. But it is equally important to turn our gaze to the generous father who was not only willing to give to his son, but also received him back with open hands for a second chance. His elder son was indignant, that he had never received anything to show for all his dedication. He must have been shocked to the marrows when the father told him, “all that I have is thine”!
Believers cannot fully enjoy the blessings of God if they are ignorant of who they are…Your inheritance is limited by the extent of your revelation of Kingdom realities.
This brings us to a crucial issue. Believers cannot fully enjoy the blessings of God if they are ignorant of who they are. The first thing in the sequence of Paul’s assignment was to open the eyes of the people. Were they blind? Yes, but not in a physical sense. They were ignorant of who God is and what He has made available in redemption through Christ. Hoshea says the people of God are destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hoshea 4:6). Isaiah adds this: “Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.” (Isaiah 5:13, KJV). Your inheritance is limited by the extent of your revelation of Kingdom realities. It’s about time you rose above your ignorance.
