“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them.”
Numbers 27:7 KJV
The daughters of Zelophehad claimed their father’s property and got it by their persistence and faith. These ladies realised that their father’s property was rightfully theirs since there were no sons to inherit it as per the law. They were not passively waiting and dreaming. They understood instinctively that only the violent take the Kingdom by force. They refused to accept their inferior position as women. Under the law, sons are the rightful heirs of the father’s property, but these daughter’s’ faith overruled the law. In Christ, both men and women are God’s rightful heir of all His fullness. These daughters were claiming a portion of their father’s property, but our Father in heaven has given us everything He has - all His power, all His fullness, all His authority, all His riches, all His nature, all His wisdom and so much more! In Christ all God’s promises are ‘Yes’ and ‘Amen’ to us. Everything God has done for us in Christ is for the praise of the glory of His grace. Being in Christ is not for self-centred people but for those who bring joy to our Father with our faith in Christ so that the Father is glorified. Let’s glorify our Father by the Name of Jesus. Amen!
