Our inheritance

"And Naboth said to Ahab, The Lord forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee" (1 Kings 21:3 KJV). Naboth knew what he had inherited, and he was not about to compromise with it. It was priceless, something that money could not buy. This inheritance was given by God, for God gives His children the very best. Just because we stand against the enemy, does not mean he will stop trying our patience. Satan will not give up. He might walk away for a season, but he will always make his way back, just as he did in the wilderness with Jesus. "And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season" (Luke 4:13 KJV). The devil is out to take our inheritance, which comes from God the Father. Satan is out to deceive and delude the hearts of the believers. He is jealous and envious of all that we have been given by the Lord. He has taken from man from the very beginning, from the very first man on this earth, and he has done so ever since. Naboth stood his ground and did not let riches or possessions grab his heart, even if it did cost him his life. Why gain the whole world yet lose our very soul? Do not let Satan take any more then he already has. It is up to us to stand our ground with the Word of God. God bless you. Amen
