Inheriting the Nations

My dad didn’t do the right thing by his children and allowed his considerable wealth to be inherited by somebody else.

What about an inheritance from my heavenly Father? Now there’s a thought that interests me. What’s more, I don’t have to wait until I die to inherit from Father God.
Ps 2:7I will proclaim the LORD’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.

I want to focus upon two words in this scripture… 8Ask me

On Thursday night I went to the first anniversary of our International service. I looked at the team ministering and performing… Jessica from Korea twirling in her Korean traditional dress; Sonny in his Tongan flax; others in their national costumes – I thought, “Lord, we have the nations as an inheritance.”

At last count, we have 46 nationalities represented in our congregation. Probably more now.

What a richness this brings to us. What a rehearsal for heaven.

Do you know that when I go to heaven – there will be people there who will be my inheritance and my reward – Indian, Chileno, Ugandan, Sri Lankan, Tongan…. And they will be one with me and together we will sing and worship before the throne of our Father. I want to tell you… what I missed from my earthly dad fades and pales into insignificance.

Asking… You have not because you ask not – ask that you might receive. Begin to build up your own portfolio of nations. I began to ask God for Sudanese in our community, when I saw them.

Start with the realization that God wants you have nations and to ask Him for them.

I’ve passed on my inheritance to my kids. They now ask for the nations. They are already building a portfolio.

Have you asked for Australia? Now is the time to ask.
Ask for Australia to be a nation under God.
Ask for Australia to be saved
Ask for Australia to have a government that honours God’s laws and fears God
Ask for Australia to have a leader who is God-fearing and bible-believing
Ask for a Senate that has men and women who fear God.
