Today’s exhortation – the package
In yesterday’s exhortation I told you that if you sign on the dotted line by saying “yes” to The Lord Jesus and ask Him into your heart, you will come into an inheritance. Here are some of what that entails. Every record of guilt that was against you will be wiped clean by the blood of Jesus. You see in the world, your criminal convictions follow you all your life, but in His inheritance, God wipes out all our convictions against Him. He says, “I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” (Hebrews 8:12). And furthermore, He says “I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust…(Joel 2:25). The bible also says, He makes all things beautiful in His time.
You may be a divorcee or a parent who no longer has access to your kids for one reason or another; have broken relationships with loved ones; you may have made many mistakes before, but all is not lost! He will restore all you have lost and everything that is dead, will be brought back to life. He says in Ezekiel 47:9, Wherever the river flows, it will bring life. (Ezekiel 47:9). This river is the flow of His Holy Spirit whom He gives as part of the inheritance. He says, “Instead of your shame you shall have double honour, And instead of confusion you shall rejoice in your portion. Everlasting joy shall be yours.”(Isaiah 61:7). What more can I say? Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalms 34:8).
