"And Naboth said to Ahab, the LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee." (I Kings 21:3) In this passage of scripture we find king Ahab trying to purchase a vinyard that is near his palace. The vineyard belongs to the family of Naboth. This vineyard had been in the possession of Naboth's family since the Israelites took the land as God had promised. This was his inheritance and would one day belong to his children. Naboth refused to sell.
We cannot sell our inheritance to the devil. God has given us things that the enemy would want us to give him control of, but we must refuse. We must be as Naboth and declare, "it is not for sale!" God Bless.
