Inherit the promise!

Hebrews 6:12
that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

The word says all the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Christ. All throughout the Bible, we see people inheriting the promise of God. Through faith and patience, Abraham received Isaac, Joseph became prime minister of Egypt, David became king, Joshua captured Jericho,  so on and so forth. It's all written for our benefit and learning.

In order to imitate someone, you got to observe and study them and learn from them. The word says we are to imitate these heroes of faith who overcame all odds through faith and patience and inherited the promises of God. Faith believes and recieves the promise of God and patience holds on to it until it's manifested or inherited. It doesn't let go of the word irrespective of who says what or who does what or irrespective of how one feels. No matter what - It doesn't let go of the word of God. Faith and patience gives the word of God the environment it needs to come to full manifestation. Receive the promise and let it dwell in your heart and your mouth and keep it there, the word will become flesh and you will see the manifestation of God's promises in your life.

Friend, our biggest example to imitate is Jesus himself. In the midst of fierce opposition and persecution, He believed the Father's word and held on to it and because of his faith and patience,  He was raised from the dead and seated on the throne of the Almighty God at his right hand. Inherit your promise. This is your time. Jesus is Lord and the best is yet to come.
