God gave us a Kingdom – we just need to take it. Those are the life-changing words of Bill Mitchell, who reveals how coming to the Kingdom of God can change your life – whether you’ve ever gone to church or not. Mitchell’s treatise affirms the work of more than forty different authors who wrote sixty-six different books proclaiming the greatest story of our lives. He seeks to answer questions such as: How to know what God has given to us? What is the purpose of our Lord? Why we must be born of water and the Spirit? What it means to love God and your neighbor as yourself? The author concludes that for us to get back to the Kingdom of God, we must do as our Lord has said. That is everyone. We cannot all do as each of us desires and expect to be right with God. The message of our Lord is consistent and does not waver. Recognize God for who He is and what He has given to us through His Son Jesus Christ with the lessons and insights in Coming Back to the Kingdom of God.
The book "The Reward of Inheritance" is a full package that reveals our real estate in Christ, how we get there, the battles involved to manifest the ultimate expectation that God has designed for the body of Christ through the Holy Gift He provided for her. It reveals the wisdom of God that should guide our daily lives because this impacts on the image and the status that Christ has carved for us through the Abrahamic covenant. The work of the Patriarchs of our faith lays a golden glaze on our Christian faith because that is the foundation that carries the body of Christ. We that were no people have now become the people of God. This is no mean feat, but an arduous work of faith which we are only called to benefit. We appropriate the benefits whenever we (any man or woman) on earth apply for its benevolence. So the masterpiece to becoming a beneficiary of the inheritance is to be engrafted into the Abrahamic covenant and protection. The entrance into the privilege and protection of the Abrahamic covenant is not a tea party because the devil would want you not to know and when you know it, he desires that you may be carefree and motionless about it spiritually. You must exert force to undo all that the devil and the enemies have done to enable you to gain entrance into the promise and the place of the promise. This is a battle you must gear up to fight: the battle of recovery and dominion. It is in this vein that for us to enjoy the inheritance, we must be timely because the inheritance is timely. The inheritance we possess in Christ must also have the capacity to be transferred the same way the Abrahamic blessing was transferred to us. If that is the case, then there is need to groom our children in the ways of the Lord; preparing them for the inheritance. If the inheritance must be transferred to our children's children, then we must grow the inheritance and sustain same. The inheritance can only be grown and sustained when we groom our children in the lifestyle of the inheritance. This book is accompanied by a prayer handbook which deals with spiritual warfare on total recovery package of the inheritance that one who has accepted Jesus is entitled. This recovery is benched on salvation and its revelation. One might be saved and still be under yokes except the salvation comes with divine revelation. The light of revelation is what drives the warfare to recover the inheritance. The inheritance is bulky and is stock-in-trade, and only those who have access to the grace which salvation brings can enjoy same. It is available to anyone who chooses to purchase it. The currency is a capsule of salvation, knowledge and the inheritance passion or claim-drive. The knowledge and the revelation you have through the book "The Reward of the Inheritance" is the propulsion to declare your victory through the prayer actions in the handbook. "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint," Luke 18: 1 (KJV). Prayer is hard work, and it requires energy. The revelation the word gives should be a bolster for the claim of the inheritance. This drive produces no result except it is converted in praying for the inheritance. As you labor in the grace, you must align with the time because timing is paramount. The energy to hold to the inheritance is the power to sustain and grow the inheritance to benefit yourself and others because the essence of inheritance is sustainability.
