Sons of Kings

You Are Qualified

BY DR. JIA CONWAY

And giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of His holy people in the kingdom of light. For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:12-14 NIV)

We can spend a lifetime building a resume that speaks to and gives a summary of who we are and what qualifies us to fulfill a position. We can spend a lifetime trying to measure up, make the mark, and meet the benchmarks of being “qualified.” Qualifications of the world weigh against our creditworthiness and what we have earned to be deemed eligible or ineligible, and this is a fair exchange; however, despite what the world may have deemed you as ineligible for or not creditworthy of, Sons of Kings, it is God and God alone who qualifies. Glory be to the God who does not qualify you based on your past mistakes but seeks to keep you close in the bosom of His covenant.

Don’t disqualify yourself if God has already qualified you as He has spoken in His Word. Don’t take your cards off the table just yet because you are reading the room and think you are not measuring up! Stay at the table; YOU ARE QUALIFIED. Colossians reminds us that we are to thank the Father, not ourselves or anyone else for that matter, for what He has qualified us to share in as beneficiaries of His inheritance. This is an inheritance for which you do not have to revise the paperwork and don’t need a co-signer… God says that He has spiritually qualified you to do what He called you to do.

Sons, do not allow the enemy to talk you out of what has been stored up in the kingdom for you. You have been rescued, restored, and redeemed from the dominion and captivity of darkness, and now you stand “qualified” for your kingdom inheritance.
