Claim Your Inheritance

Afternoon Moment

For generations, believers around the world have drawn daily strength from the timeless words of classical devotional writers. Among them, A.W. Tozer remains a trusted guide whose writings continue to stir hearts toward deeper faith and spiritual awakening. The following reflection is drawn from his treasured work, Mornings with Tozer—a devotional that has encouraged millions, including me, to live out their faith with sincerity, humility, and passion for God.

As you read, take a moment to slow your pace, quiet your thoughts, and allow the Spirit to speak through these enduring words of wisdom.

CLAIM YOUR INHERITANCE

That thou may prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers. — 3 John 2

Did you know that it is possible for a Christian believer to live day after day, clutching the book of Ephesians, and still not realize that he is spiritually lean and hungry?

If a pastor or evangelist suggests that this person could be in a more prosperous spiritual state, his reaction may be bristling: “Am I not accepted in the Beloved? Is not God my Father, and am I not an heir with God?”

Holding the text of the will is not enough. It is necessary to come into the possession of the riches. Suppose a rich man dies, leaving a will which passes on all of his millions to his only son. That boy borrows the text of the will from the attorney and carries it around with him. He is satisfied with the text of the will, but it has never been properly executed. Thus the son has never presented his legitimate claims to the inheritance.

He may be going around ragged, hungry and weak. In actual experience he has received nothing. He simply holds the text of his father’s will!

Lord, teach me by Your Holy Spirit how I may grow more Christlike in my spiritual walk.
— A.W. Tozer, Mornings with Tozer

The wisdom of Tozer reminds us that God’s promises are not meant to be admired from afar but experienced in daily life. The believer’s inheritance in Christ is not merely a text to be studied—it is a reality to be lived.
