Psalm 61:5 "For you have heard my vows, O God. You have given me an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name."

Your spiritual inheritance is the most important thing you possess. The daughters of Zelophehad knew that and thus demanded their inheritance (Numbers 27:4). They refused to let any factor stand in their way of possessing what their father had left to them, and consequently, God honored their faith.

Your spiritual inheritance may be the transer of someones else's anointing to you before that person's death. Moses transferred his anointing to Joshua by the laying on of hands (Numbers 27:23). Jesus received His inheritance when He went into the Jordan and was baptized by John (Luke 3:21-22). Elisha appropriated his inheritance when he saw Elijah go up in a whirlwind and drop his mantle from the charriot (2Kings 2:11-13).

God has given you a mantle on inheritance - some ministry, some mission, some calling - that belongs to you alone. Will you be like Esau who despised his inheritance and birthright and sold it all for a little bowl of soup? Never forfeit or throw your inheritance away as though if were worthless. Instead, seize it, claim it, and believe that God will use it to glorify His name.
