Introducing the Heritage of Jacob
Discover God's blessings upon the Jews, Gentiles and people of all nations through their connection to Abraham, the servant of God. The Heritage of Jacob is your eternal inheritance through the promised seed of Abraham. In Isaiah 58:1-14, it is presented as the blessing of God upon Jews and Gentiles who obey God and keep the Sabbath day holy. But there is much more to it than many have cared to discern.
The Heritage of Jacob is God's way to everlasting prosperity in union with Christ. Galatians 3:6-4:1-7. This website will bring to you great truths about your eternal heritage in Jacob.
God must be real in our time. I want you to discover the truth and power of the word of God and claim God's promises for you today. Do you sometimes doubt God? How real is God to you? I invite you to experience the joy of knowing that you can take God at His word and actually possess the things that God says are yours in this present life.
Do not look to some far distant future as the place where you will experience the blessings of God. Ordinary people like you and me are discovering that God is true today as He was when He walked with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob four thousand years ago. One of the basic statements that God has declared is, "I the Lord do not change, so you O descendants of Jacob are not destroyed." Malachi 3: 6.
You may be familiar with Malachi 3:10 which talks about tithing. God says test me or try me in this and see if I will not open the floodgates of heaven and pour out a blessing to you that you will not have room enough to receive. Many have believed His word and have seen God work miracles in their lives. They can only attribute these miracles to faithfulness in tithing. Are you one of those who are rejoicing in this discovery of God’s faithfulness? The blessing of Malachi 3:10 confirms God's word spoken in Malachi 3:6. God does not change. He is the same yesterday today and forever. Heb 13:8
There are many people who are rejoicing because they have discovered a small but powerful prayer hidden in 1 Chronicles 4:10. This prayer is best known as the Prayer of Jabez. Mr. Jabez did not know that what God had done for him long time ago would turn out to be an inspiration to thousands who would believe in God and dare to pray like he did. This simply proves the fact that God does not change. His promises remain true to all who would lay hold of them by faith and claim them.
The Old Testament is once again becoming alive with hot promises that people are just beginning to claim and experience. God is becoming alive in the life of thousands today who believe all of His word. It does not matter how religious you may be, until you experience God in a personal walk with Him, God remains a distant mysterious being who is not involved in your daily experiences. But the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a personal God who talks and shows and answers prayer.
Here is one of His most wonderful promises that you will ever find in the scriptures. It is simply called "The heritage of Jacob." It is a grand promise awaiting you to claim today. If you have experienced the blessing of tithing in Malachi 3:10, I want you to know that there is even a greater blessing waiting for you in the inheritance of Jacob. The blessing is found in the promise of God to you through the prophet Isaiah in chapter 58:14. God says, "…I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and feast on the inheritance of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken."
God has many blessings for you His child that He wants you to enjoy. The heritage of Jacob is one of the finest blessings God promised to give you to enjoy. This blessing is for you to claim by faith just like all other blessings that God has in store for you. In fact it is not one blessing but a whole lot of blessings more than you have ever thought possible in this present life.
God calls you a descendant of Jacob and invites you, or rather challenges you to experience the heritage of Jacob your father. How are you a descendant of Jacob? And what is the heritage of Jacob? We shall answer the first question later. But first let me show you what the heritage of Jacob is all about.
The story of Jacob is found in the book of Genesis. Jacob was one of the two sons of Isaac the son of Abraham. God had promised Abraham that through his seed, Abraham's seed, all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves. This blessing was promised to Abraham before he had any children. Abraham believed God and it was accounted to Him as righteousness. Genesis 15:6, 22; Romans 4:3; Galatians 3:6. He is the father of righteousness by faith. This was long before God wrote His law on tables of stone and gave it to Moses. Abraham was already declared righteous through His faith in the word of God. Abraham became the father of all those who would follow on to be counted righteous by faith alone. It is important to remember this because it explains how we are related to Abraham and Jacob.
In due time, Abraham had two sons. One was out of his own attempts to fulfill the word of God. This is a form of righteousness by works, an attempt to help God achieve His promises. It is a manifestation of unbelief in God's power to fulfill His promises. The other was a child of faith born not by human strength but by the power of God. His name was Isaac. The promise given to Abraham was passed on to Isaac. After his marriage, Isaac prayed for twenty-six years and God gave him Jacob and Esau. God chose Jacob to be the one to carry on the promise of a seed through whom the whole world would be blessed. Jacob was chosen before he was born. This indicates that he did not merit the election of God. It was by sheer grace that God chose Jacob. I tend to think that God majors in choosing terrible people so that His grace may shine even brighter.
Some times when we think that there is some merit in us we do not give God all the glory that is due Him. Read the story of Jacob and you will discover a real modern day crook, a liar and a swindler. He swindled his own brother out of a birthright and proceeded to lie to his own father. Jacob’s mother hatched the plan. She was another crook. That woman almost had her son cursed by God had Isaac discovered who he was blessing. But she was not the first schemer. Jacob’s grandmother, Sarah, was no better. She talked her husband Abraham into polygamy and then demanded that the slave woman be sent away with her son, Ishmael: The boy she loved before her own son Isaac came. May be she is to blame for the problems in the middle-east between Israel and Palestinians today. I do not know. But I hear they are related. I’m just overwhelmed by some of the things done some of some of these blessed people of Biblical times. The Old Testament is fullof the grace of God, just as the New Testament is a revelationof the grace of God.
I think I like them because I feel like one of them, just another swindler and a liar, save for the grace of God. For I too have received the election of grace in Christ Jesus. This is the point. The election of God is always an election of grace. It was not because there was something good that Jacob had done that God chose him. As you discover about the heritage of Jacob, remember that God has chosen you also, but it is only by grace through faith, not by your own good works. Faith is your heart's response to the grace of God.
I shall attempt to list to you some of the blessings of the Heritage of Jacob that you can immediately calinm and start enjoying now. We shall also see God's ultimate blessing intended for both Jews and Gentiles alike. You see , according to the Old Testament and New Testament you are either a Jew or a Gentile. the goodnews is that both are covered in the Heritage of Jacob. (Part one is coming soon).

Thank you for posting this. I was reading Isaiah 58 and wanted to know what the heritage of Jacob is. I even looked on amazon to see if you had written any books. I enjoyed this blog.
many think the scripture says faith alone. Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace( you have been saved,(through faith(—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— Check it out. also good well meaning christians quote luther as declaring salvation by “faith alone”. there is no evidence of luthers use of the wor “alone”. . his thesis on the wittenburg door never once spoke of salvation by faith alone. the idea did not evolve until the 18th century by the later dispemsationalist not really the early reformers. . if you can find one - ask a lutheran, they know how the story was spun. there was an obekidemce to abraham’s faith. we likewise share in that.

Thank you for posting this. I've always found the bible to be hard to understand especially the old testament. You have made this easier to understand. In an unusual episode I had in 1992 I understood I was of the house of Jacob and wondered from time to time what was so special about the house of Jacob. This is now helping me understand. Thank you Theresa I very much look foreward to the rest of what the house of Jacob is promised as can be understood. Will there be more?
