Ownership and AccessOur Father owns everythingbut we get to enjoyeverything.

Ownership and AccessWe don’t exactly own thekingdom but we are in thekingdom and have free accessto all the privileges.

Ownership and AccessWhen we have been bornagain, we become a part of thekingdom of God. Now we haveaccess to all the blessings ofthe kingdom.

Heirs Are Managers…before any plant of the field wasin the earth and before any herb ofthe field had grown. For the LordGod had not caused it to rain on theearth, and there was no man to tillthe ground;Genesis 2:5

God has entrusted His earthlyresources for Man to manage.

God will not allow anything toprogress on this earth without theinvolvement of His heirs

Whenever there is no management,God’s purpose on earth will notprogress

An heir has no money because hemismanages the seed money thatGod gave him.

An heir has a bad marriage becausehe mismanages the relationshipthat God gave him.

Whatever you mismanage you loseGod will stop growth when there isno management

Wealth of the KingdomThe wealth of the kingdom isknown as Commonwealth

Sharing CommonwealthIn the kingdom of God, we donot talk about ownership butcommonwealth because theKing owns everything.

RecognitionSimply recognizing that you are anheir is not enough Do you value your position? Do you value your kingdom? Do you understand the

connection between heaven andearth?

Kingdom RewardGive, and it will be given to you. Agood measure, pressed down,shaken together and running over,will be poured into your lap. Forwith the measure you use, it will bemeasured to you.Luke 6:38

Kingdom HarvestWhoever sows sparingly willalso reap sparingly, andwhoever sows generously willalso reap generously.2 Corinthians 9:6
