2 Individual inheritance Identity, redemptive gift and destiny Who am I my identity How am I made redemptive gift What am I made for destiny or birthright

3 Inheritance Destiny 4 Jer 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations. Psa 139:16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book (scroll) were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

4 Many people lost their destiny Disobedience, unbelief, lacking faith Jacob chose financial security over destiny disaster Esau despised destiny no value Lot coveted Abraham s destiny

5 Some people just don t seem to fit Nothing seems to work out There always seems to be obstacles, road blocks, mountains in the way They don t seem to be able to get connected Why? What is going on?

6 One cause is an alien destiny Alien birthright belongs to someone else in addition to or instead of our own God did not intend it for us Creates obstacles, it obstructs you, hinders you, trips you up, blocks your path Frustration, confusion

7 Have a field you are trying to cultivate In field there is an immaculately engineered train track It looks good is well designed and built but goes nowhere It is an obstacle and hindrance superimposed over your field

8 Generationally or individually Occult covenant exchange bloodshed in our generational blood line Masonic oaths and curses Fortune telling, tarot cards, tea leaves Cult involvement does away with individual identity in favour of group identity Buy into vision of the group lose identity

9 Parents wanted another gender child Parents wanted you to fulfil their unfulfilled dreams Parents wanted to force you into conforming to the family tradition or business We were not content with our destiny, did not connect to it

10 We wanted someone else s anointing, mantles, gifts, position etc. We despised our own calling and yearned to be like someone else We coveted what someone else was doing because it looked more glamorous, visible, or offered more kudos

11 How do you know? Deep down yearning for something else: daydreams, wishes, feel unfulfilled Design seems fit for somewhere else Life is not fulfilling even with achievement Succeed in an area not designed for you feels like mockery or vanity Alien destiny causes highly resistant obstacles within us

12 Ps 139 your timeline is designed for your success There are events, people, structures, assets and resources at certain points to facilitate our destiny Divinely ordered appointments to help us. Alien destiny causes you to run into obstacles infiltrating your life Internal and external

13 Heroes of faith? Why? Inspire your destiny or do you want theirs? Mantles, impartation services and false prophetic readings short cuts Laziness don't want to develop character to deal with issues price is too high. Instead of being willing to pay the cost for unpacking our destiny we look at a sparkly destiny of someone who has paid the price

14 Short cut zapped, build track in us that is not connected There are many who prey on the lazy Someone is looking for legitimacy by giving away destiny, mantles and anointing etc. that don't fit in our lives Culture of the instant no value and not willing to pay price

15 There is the legitimate laying on of hands to impart gifts, passing on the baton, or mantles to release your own destiny Constantly tripping over others tracks Have I pursued, lusted for someone else s destiny? Repent, renounce it, get deliverance from the alien part Who did it? Me, others, past generation?

16 Lot s destiny was not in Canaan Abram was told leave family behind Lot's destiny was in Ur or Haran Wanted a part in Abraham s destiny Prospers on the back of Abraham Took best part of the land Lost everything at Sodom, lost wife Incest produced Moab, Ammon

17 No-one said it would be easy Gen 1:28 God blessed them; and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; James 1:2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.

18 Every battle on the pathway of our destiny was designed to create dependence and intimacy with God Jesus has been there and knows Avoiding the battles, conflicts, trials and tribulations hinders our maturity We are cheating ourselves of experiential intimacy, growth and transformation

19 God gives us a vision We don t get to see the whole of God s purposes need to pursue Him for more revelation God often gives encounter to attract our attention Introduction to get us on the path Often there is initial opposition Press through to overcome

20 Adam lost inheritance but... Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel. Promise restoration through conflict enemy Abraham journey to inheritance

21 Jacob lost inheritance, spent 400 years in slavery of Egypt Wilderness journey Promised Land inheritance restored Promised Land needed to be conquered Where are you? Egypt, wilderness or Promised Land

22 David family opposition, fight a giant, king trying to kill him, lived in a cave with a bunch of oddballs, Philistines trying to rob him etc. Jesus, birth illegitimate, Herod tried to kill him, temptation of satan, religious, politicians, family, disciples, garden We have to be willing to fight for our destiny

23 Joseph vision negative family reaction to daddy s pet Dad reacts angrily to the notion of bowing before him Believed vision it all went downhill, betrayal, in a pit, sold into slavery Egypt: Potifer s house false accusation Prison: forgotten, let down etc.

24 Joseph coat of many colours, double portion, blessing, favour Betrayal lost his coat New favour clothes faithful Accusation removal of clothes Prison faithful Abandoned and forgotten

25 What is Joseph s attitude? Is he reduced to making the best of a bad situation? No, God s plan is alive and well Reality is his destiny for ruling could never be learnt under his father s protection So God removed him to train him to rule.

26 Problem that he was green and naïve Needed prison experience to teach him about people Animosity, political, jealousy became streetwise The prison prep school was the fast track to destiny He never let opposition rob him of his dreams

27 Joseph exalted, restored, new clothes, favour Didn t sulk, continued in faith, used his gifts to bless even in captivity Forgiveness did not hold his past against people Saw God s purpose in it all God s plan fulfilled nations saved

28 Zelophehad s 5 daughters Men only culture girls could not inherit land Num 27:4 Why should the name of our father be withdrawn from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father s brothers. 5 So Moses brought their case before the Lord.

29 Girls were not content to go with the status quo in their culture What the law said was not whole story God's heart is bigger than what is currently revealed Go to a higher authority Moses takes it to God, who says you must certainly give them property as inheritance.

30 Num 27:6 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 7 The daughters of Zelophehad are right in their statements. You shall surely give them a hereditary possession among their father s brothers, and you shall transfer the inheritance of their father to them. 8 Further, you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If a man dies and has no son, then you shall transfer his inheritance to his daughter.

31 Esther seemingly on a fast track to nowhere Orphaned Kidnapped to a harem, separated, no dialogue, year of purification to spend rest of her life in futility? Esther you have come to your royal position for such a time as this? Saved a whole nation

32 You do not know the signficance of your destiny Be an agent for change Be a world-changer Be transformed, come into maturity Don t be hindered, restricted Don t give up, press on
