“It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.” Ezekiel 44:28

In the Old Testament, the priests [the Tribe of Levi] did not receive an inheritance of earthly prosperity for themselves. The duty of the priests was solely to perform the priestly duties over all the other tribes of Israel, and those duties included doing the animal sacrifices to make atonement for the sin of all the Jewish people. The priests would make a living on those sacrifices. For example, sacrifices were made by draining the blood from the animal and the blood was used to sanctify the altar outside the inner sanctuary and the mercy seat of the inner sanctuary. Parts of the meat of the sacrificed animal would go to the priests for their consumption. For the sin offering and trespass offering the priests were given the meat of rams, lamb, cow, goat, doves, or pigeons. For the grain offering, the priests were given fine flour, oil, salt, and even the fragrance of frankincense.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are His priests because we minister His Gospel to others, we want them to know that atonement for sin has been made for them through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb of God and He is our possession in that all we have is through Him. We can be assured that today’s culture is not designed to make the followers of Jesus Christ prosperous in this world. Those who serve the entity giving them what to think, feel, do, and say come first in this world, but we who are last in this world will be first in the New Jerusalem, “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” Matthew 19:29-30

The Holy Spirit in us is the guarantee of our inheritance and all that we will possess in the New Jerusalem, “In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.” Ephesians 1:13-14

As followers of Jesus Christ, we do not look for earthly reimbursement for sharing the testimony of Jesus Christ. We live by the words of our Lord Jesus who said, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
