The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know…what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.” Ephesians 1:18
Paul prayed for the believers at Ephesus that The Father of glory would give them “…the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: that the eyes of their understanding would be flooded with light… to know…the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,” The inheritance of believers becomes accessible only through revelation knowledge. It is something we need to be enlightened about. It cannot be obtained through education or natural human effort. It is revealed by God alone. Throughout the Bible, men and women received revelation from God that brought great blessing and empowerments to them and others.
Joseph, by revelation, interpreted Pharaoh’s dream! It was a gift from God that brought him from the pit to the palace in a matter of hours! The Revelation, and the wisdom that accompanied it, catapulted him to a seat of authority that was second only to Pharaoh himself! He was able to spare all of Egypt from a seven-year famine as a result!
Similarly, Daniel received a Revelation from God concerning King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and its interpretation! That revelation accelerated Daniel’s rise to become second only to King Nebuchadnezzar himself! Daniel inherited wealth, position, honor and a status that sustained him through three godless kings of Babylon, all of whom honored Daniel as one in whom dwelt the Spirit of the Holy God!
Peter received revelation of who Jesus was. He said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!” Jesus acknowledged where that revelation came from, and with that revelation came the keys of the kingdom of heaven! Revelation knowledge ushers in many additional benefits; some of which are kingdom keys that unlock God’s power to help in times of need. It gives us a workable knowledge of our inheritance, and how to access it, and much more!
These accounts are recorded in the Bible for a reason. Paul connected these accounts with the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of God, or – a revelation of who God is and what God knows about us, our situation, and the solutions we need!Revelation knowledge is a huge kingdom key that unlocks God’s ability in our lives, which includes the ability to tap into the riches of our glorious inheritance, and the greatness of God’s power for every facet of our lives!
Revelation knowledge reveals the Glory of His Inheritance that God desires us all to have, operate in, and enjoy!
