“In
those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the
Danites was seeking an inheritance for itself to dwell in; for until that day
their whole inheritance among the tribes of Israel had not fallen to them.” (Judges 18:1)
Looking closely at today’s scripture, it is safe to say that the people
of Dan were deprived of their inheritance. When it comes to inheritance, there
are only two (2) scenarios; it is either you get it or you don’t. In this case
the Danites did not receive their inheritance.
The bible also tells us that Danites had to search for a place to dwell.
When you do not receive what is due, you will run around in search of rest and
satisfaction.
There are a lot of children with wealthy parents who live as poor
people because their inheritance has been taken from them. Family members may
have used witchcraft powers to steal their inheritance; some even physically
chase children out of their father’s house. This is a demonic act. Same way the
people of Dan had to fight to get an inheritance, I defeat every evil power
depriving you of your inheritance, in the mighty name of Jesus.
The first statement in Judges 18:1 is “In those days there was no king
in Israel…” this could imply that one of the reasons the Danites were
deprived was because there was no superior authority to cry to. Do you have a
king that you can run to? And if you say God is your King, have you handed over
the issues of your life to Him?
You naturally suffer some setbacks simply because you failed to hand
over the situation to the King of kings. Unlike the people of Dan, you have a
King, but do you run to your King? If things hardly work out in your life, it
may just be that you have not invited the King of kings to rule over your
situation and take judgment. Invite Him now and whatever you are going through
will be over.

PRAYER/CONFESSION: Lord, step into my ugly situation and
make it good. I take back my inheritance in Jesus name.
