The Best Inheritance
Samuel Dhinakaran
My friend, today, the Lord has created a joyous day for you. Let's listen to His promises and receive them as stated in Psalm 16:5, "The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; You hold my lot." In other words, it means that God is our portion, and all that we need is within Him. Therefore, we should choose Him first as our portion. Just like important things are stored in a drive and accessed by going through it, the Lord contains every good thing that we are looking for. He is our entire portion, and we need nothing else. Everything we need is hidden in Him.
My grandfather, Dr. D.G. S. Dhinakaran, fervently sought the Lord for the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. He desired to minister with power and continuously prayed for them. One day, the Holy Spirit took him on a supernatural experience to the throne of the Almighty God. The presence of the Almighty God was glorious and overwhelming beyond expression. A thundering sound echoed from the throne, asking, "What do you want?" This sound lingered in my grandfather's heart, and he could hear it for many nights. The Holy Spirit urged him to ask for the nine gifts of the Spirit, but the Lord asked him, "Do you want the nine gifts, or do you want me?" The Holy Spirit prompted him to choose the Lord above all things. My grandfather replied, "I want You, God." God, the Father, was pleased with his response, and my grandfather could see Him smiling. The Lord was delighted because my grandfather had chosen Him above all things, even the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord is your chosen portion, and in Him resides your entire inheritance. By choosing Him, you will have everything you need. Cry out to the Lord, 'Lord, I need You more than anything else. When You reside in my heart, I will receive everything.' When you please the Lord by seeking Him first, He will provide you with everything according to His plan.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, I am grateful for Your assurance that You are my portion. All that I need is found within You. Therefore, I surrender myself completely into Your loving hands and choose You as my portion above all else. You contain every good thing that I am looking for. You are my entire portion, and I need nothing else. Everything I need is hidden in You, and You are my entire inheritance. I trust that by choosing You, I will have everything I need. Lord, I need You more than anything else in this world. I am confident that when You reside in my heart, I will receive everything. As I commit myself to pleasing You by seeking You first, You will provide me with everything according to Your plan. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
