Heirs to a Fortune
“Receive Your Inheritance!” by Gloria Copeland

1. “Have you ever been invited to an attorney’s office for the reading of a will? I haven’t.
Where I come from, there was never enough money left for the relatives to fight over
when someone died. Most of the people I knew didn’t leave wills—they left bills.
2. “But, glory to God, that’s not the case anymore. I became heir to a fortune, more than
40 years ago in Little Rock, Ark., when I gave my life to Jesus. At that moment I was
born again into the richest family ever known. I was born into the royal family that owns
and operates the universe. I received an inheritance so vast it will take me all of eternity
to fully comprehend it.
3. “Some people get excited about tracing their natural family history. They like to know
if they have great people in their family tree because it makes them feel they’ve come
from good stock. You and I ought to be that way about our heritage as believers. Our
ancestors are the greatest men and women who ever walked the face of the earth. We
can trace our lineage back to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, King David...all the way
to Jesus. Think about that! Those are our forefathers.
4. “‘Now wait a minute,’ you might say. ‘Those are Jewish men. They lived in Canaan
and Israel. You’re an American from Arkansas! You’re not part of that family.’ Well, not
physically. But spiritually, according to the Bible, yes I am. And if you’ve made Jesus
Christ the Lord of your life, you are too.”
5. Galatians 3:13-14, 29 says, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being
made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That
the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we
might
receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye
Abraham’s
seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
a. Verse 29 (AMP): “And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham’s
4
Seed], then you are Abraham’s offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise.”
b. Verse 29 (NLT): “And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of
Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.”
c. Verse 29 (MSG): “Since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s famous
‘descendant,’ heirs according to the covenant promises.”
B. “I became heir to a fortune...when I gave my life to Jesus.”
1. All that belongs to the Father became ours when we were born again.
2. We became heirs of God—children of the King with the right to partake of our full
inheritance.
3. Many don’t realize they are heirs.
4. They are ignorant of all that belongs to them in their inheritance.
a. Article headline from the December 30, 2012, issue of London’s Daily Mail
newspaper.
b. “Homeless man who didn’t know he was a millionaire is found dead before he
could be told about his fortune: Body of ‘Heir’ to $300,000,000 discovered frozen
under railway bridge.”
5. Others don’t know how to take their inheritance.

reward shall be exceedingly great!
c. “I decided that since I was an heir of Abraham, those words were just as true for
me as they were for him. And sure enough, they have been.

don’t have to affect you. You’re not dependent on the economic cycles of this natural

changes! He never alters the Word that comes out of His mouth and He has said
you are blessed!” —Gloria Copeland, “Receive Your Inheritance!”
