Stepping Into Your Divine Inheritance: Insights from Apostle Dr. Michael Mband
Introduction
In a recent message delivered by Apostle Dr. Michael Mband, believers were taken on a profound journey to understand how to access and walk in their divine inheritance from God. Drawing from deep biblical truths and personal experiences, Apostle Mband emphasized the importance of spiritual maturity, responsibility, and purpose in receiving God’s promises.
The Foundation of Spiritual Inheritance
Apostle Mband began by highlighting that every believer, through Christ, has obtained an inheritance from God as stated in Ephesians 1:11 and Romans 8:17. However, accessing this inheritance is not automatic; it requires faith, obedience, and a genuine relationship with God. He stressed that salvation is not just about personal gain but about bearing fruit and leading others to Christ. If a believer is not actively sharing the gospel or leading souls to Jesus, there is a need to question the authenticity of their faith.
The Purpose Behind God’s Blessings
One of the central themes of the message was the purpose behind God’s blessings. Apostle Mband explained that God does not distribute blessings arbitrarily. Before God entrusts anyone with resources, He seeks to know the purpose behind the request. The question “What is it for?” is always present when approaching God for anything. Blessings are not merely rewards for labor but are part of the inheritance apportioned by God to those who are ready and responsible.
Maturity and Responsibility
Referencing Galatians 4:1, Apostle Mband illustrated that as long as an heir remains a child, he is no different from a servant, even though he owns everything. Maturity is the key to accessing spiritual inheritance. God waits until a believer demonstrates responsibility, integrity, and the capacity to handle His blessings before releasing them. The mindset of maturity, dependability, and integrity is essential for anyone seeking to walk in their inheritance.
The Role of Generosity and Kingdom Purpose
Apostle Mband challenged believers to examine their motives for seeking blessings. God is looking for distributors, not hoarders. The blessings we receive are meant to benefit others, especially the poor, widows, orphans, and the church. If the motive is self-centered, one is not ready for Kingdom riches.
He referenced 2 Corinthians 9:8, reminding the church that God’s grace abounds so that we may have sufficiency in all things and abound in every good work.
Practical Steps to Accessing Inheritance
- Purposeful Prayer: When asking God for blessings, always attach a clear and kingdom-minded reason. Whether it is for tithing, helping the needy, or supporting the church, let your requests be purposeful.
- Generosity: Be willing to give and support others. The measure of your readiness to receive is reflected in your willingness to give.
- Spiritual Growth: Move from spiritual infancy to maturity. Take responsibility for your spiritual growth and actions.
- Integrity: Handle God’s blessings with integrity and ensure that your motives are pure.
Conclusion
Apostle Dr. Michael Mband’s message is a call to believers to rise above self-centered prayers and embrace the true purpose of Kingdom inheritance. By aligning our motives with God’s purpose, growing in maturity, and being generous, we position ourselves to receive and steward God’s blessings effectively. Let us be distributors of God’s riches, impacting lives and advancing the Kingdom of God.
