Christian Entitlement

Your Father owns the universe. The entitlement a son of God should adopt is his inheritance.

Christian Entitlement
“giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance” Colossians 1:12 (ASV)

There is a spirit over the Nation of South Africa, where many young people have adopted a spirit of entitlement. It’s a syndrome that has crept in where many feel that they are ‘owed something’ and do not have to work for it. As evil as this can be, and sure proof of our fallen World, there is a spiritual entitlement that you and I should adopt for ourselves and our families.

What I’m talking about today is your inheritance, as a son and daughter of the Most High God — the One who owns all the silver and gold. As a child of God, if you grasp the realisation that your Daddy owns the entire universe, together with all you could ever need or desire, you’ll stop living from crises to crises.

When I first grasped a revelation of this, I began to implement something in my life which I called the “non-negotiables” — meaning that there are certain promises of God for my life which I was not willing to negotiate on, and not willing to go without. I knew that these would forever form the absolute basis of what God has for me. Personally, the non-negotiables which I claimed for my own life is divine health and prosperity. I will not accept a life of sickness for myself nor my family, and I will not accept anything less than God’s supernatural provision.

Since doing this, God has proven Himself strong on my behalf — and I know that He can do it for you, too. Begin to thank God for your inheritance, and as His child, begin to thank Him for the fulfilment of your “non-negotiables.”

Prophetic Declaration

I am a child of the Most High God, and am entitled to the best of the best. I declare and decree that health, peace and prosperity will forever be my portion, as a non-negotiable in my life, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
