Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the descendants of Abraham Your friend forever? 2 Chronicles 20:7

While continuing his prayer to the Lord, Jehoshaphat mentioned the time when God casted out the inhabitants from Canaan, and gave that land to the seed of Abraham, His friend, forever. The apostle Paul wrote, on Galatians 3:14, that the divine promises destined to the forefathers arrived to us, the gentiles. Therefore, one of the basis to pray and to receive the divine answer is remembering that you have the right to the inheritance and to claim that right.

God does not forget anything, but we do. When we bring something from the Lord to memory, in truth, we are remembering that the blessings are not charity, but they are rights recognized by Him, and we should never give them up in any dispute. They not only regard that which was promised to Abraham, but also to everything that Jesus bought to us with His blood on the Cross.

Think about the bad things that have happened to you – in your body, in your financial life, sentimental, familiar, marital and professional – and do not accept that evil. Search the Word about something that talks about the issue you are living and take possession of everything that the Lord declares belongs to you. Instead of complaining with Him, thank Him for revealing to you the truth and, after that, demand that reality to become real in your life, giving orders for the enemy to leave.

We are the true seed of Abraham, who’s faith was born in revelation, and not by the flesh. In the same way, the descendants according to the flesh did not receive such an inheritance. Now, they and the gentiles who accept Jesus will become heirs from God and co-heirs with Christ, having the right to all the blessings from the Most High. When the forefather believed, his faith was imputed as justice. The believers in Jesus are treated the same way.

The apostle Paul stated that those who accept the faith in Christ are children of Abraham (Galatians 3:7), in who all of the nations  would be blessed, as God himself declared (Genesis 26:4). Therefore, we have to preach justification by faith. In this act, people are made innocent from their wrongdoings from the past and, when they become born again – which is done by the Holy Spirit and by the Word of God -, they do not have any condemnation upon themselves, for they became new creatures.

If you are part of the saved family, being a member of the faith in Christ, you are blessed like Abraham was. When we learn that Jehoshaphat mentioned that the Lord had given the physical land to the descendants according to the forefather’s flesh, we can rejoice, because, as believers in Jesus, we become the seed of Abraham’s faith. With this, we have the Land of Promise as our blessing – the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heavens, which is bigger and more of a blessing than Canaan was.

We should always stay vigilant so that we do not fall in temptation. Along with seductions of the flesh, the enemy has been successful at blinding the understanding of those who do not believe that we are the true heirs of the promises made to Abraham, and also to Jesus. How beautiful, isn’t it?

In Christ, with love,

Oh God! On rejecting Jesus, Israel proved that they could not believe that they were, in fact, the seed of Abraham, although they were in the natural side. The real seed that inherited the blessings that were promised to the forefather is Jesus and, by extension, to those who believe in Him.

We cannot give up on the rights we have in Your Son. As Jehoshaphat mentioned Your promises, we should mention everything that was promised and, believing in Your promises, demand that all evil becomes bound and rebuked.

Now, we assume our position as sons and heirs with Christ and demand that every evil is bound, in the Name of Jesus, and rebuked. We have to fulfill Your will and never leave You presence. Thank you. Amen!
