If you are a Born again believer in Jesus Christ and you think you are a nobody, think again! You are a Child of God! If you are taking that lightly then understand this. You are an heir of the richest person in the universe (Haggai 2:8). You are an heir of the one who kicks back and makes the earth His footstool (Matthew 5: 35). This is your Dad or if you are real close he is your Daddy!
As heirs we have a heritage that is supernatural. In John 3:3-8 we listen to Jesus, talking to Nicodemus, explaining to him about being born again. If you read very close you will see even Jesus had a hard time explaining the supernatural experience of new life in Him. Look at the last part of verse 8 when Jesus says you can't explain how people are born of the Spirit. The closest explanation I have found was what Paul said in Galatians 4:6 , And because we are His children, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, "Abba, Father." God puts the Spirit of His Son in our hearts. Born of the Spirit! New heart, new heritage!
A heritage is something possessed as a result of their natural situation or birth. But ours is a supernatural situation and a supernatural birth. This supernatural faith/grace event happens when you begin to put your trust and your life into Gods hand (Psalm 31:5&15). When you entrust your spirit, your life, and your future, to God, your heritage begins to explode into action. Some changes come right away, some changes are slow to come. When we try to take back what is rightfully Gods, our lives, it only slows things down. It is the fathers right to give and take away not the child's. If you give your life to Christ, trust Him! What He has for you is greater than anything your old heritage could ever bring you.
