Message 1: Inheriting the Land

The land of Canaan, which God gave to His people as an inheritance and intended that they possess, is a profound picture of God’s people inheriting God’s riches for the fulfillment of God’s purpose. After God’s people entered the land and possessed it, they eventually built God’s house there and established God’s kingdom in that very land. To the New Testament believer, the land represents Christ and all His riches to be enjoyed and possessed by us. The riches of Christ supply us to fulfill God’s eternal purpose that He made in Him.

Deuteronomy 8:7-10 - "For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; a land where you will eat food without scarcity, in which you will not lack anything; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land which He has given you."
