Every believer has received an glorious inheritance through Jesus Christ.This verse reveals an outstanding truth: as long as an heir is a child, there is no difference between him and a slave. ɪɴ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀs ᴡᴏʀᴅs, ᴀs ʟᴏɴɢ ᴀs ᴀɴ ʜᴇɪʀ ɪs ᴀ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ, ʜᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ ʟɪᴠᴇ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀ sʟᴀᴠᴇ. Even though everything is his, he enjoys nothing. He has his name on every single thing but partakes of absolutely nothing. What a tragedy! Look at this picture, a crowned baby on a throne. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁. Heir of God, you can’t afford to be a child.

You know, biblically speaking, a child is not referring to those who are young in age. It has nothing to do with physical age. ᴀ ᴄᴀʀɴᴀʟ ʙᴇʟɪᴇᴠᴇʀ ɪs ᴄᴀʟʟᴇᴅ ᴀ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʙɪʙʟᴇ – ᴏɴᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ɪs ᴡᴏʀʟᴅʟʏ, ʜᴀs ᴀ ᴡᴏʀʟᴅʟʏ ᴍɪɴᴅsᴇᴛ, ʟɪᴠᴇs ʙʏ ʜɪs ғɪᴠᴇ ᴘʜʏsɪᴄᴀʟ sᴇɴsᴇs ᴀɴᴅ ɪs sᴇʟғɪsʜ. Such believers will have difficulty in partaking of their inheritance. 𝐆𝐨𝐝’𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐎 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐦. It’s through God’s word. Desire and feed on the pure milk of God’s Word and you will grow. Develop a Word mindset. Make the Word your foremost priority and the final authority of your life. Let your life revolve and rotate around God’s word. Unless you grow, you and a slave have no difference. A slave enjoys nothing.
