It's All Mine

Bishop Charles R. Walker Season 2 Episode 8

Scripture Reference: 1 Kings 3:16-23 (NIV)

Main Theme: Claiming victory and ownership over God’s promises in our lives.

Introduction: The sermon is inspired by 1 Kings 3:16-23, where King Solomon uses wisdom to discern the true mother of a disputed child. This story reflects a deeper spiritual truth about ownership, faith, and claiming what is rightfully ours. The message is reinforced by the phrase: “The burden you carry is preparation for the blessing you’ll possess.” It is not enough to have something within reach; we must also claim and protect it.

Key Points:

1. A Promise is a Promise (2 Corinthians 1:20)

  • Every promise from God is “Yes” in Christ, and our response is “Amen” to His glory.
  • We must boldly declare victory with our words.
  • Being on the other side of our struggles means stepping into the fullness of God’s promises.

2. Possession is 9/10 of the Law

  • This legal principle emphasizes that ownership is best maintained when something is in our possession.
  • Spiritually, many claim victory but fail to walk in it.
  • Challenges can cause our faith to waver, but when we recognize our blessings, we must hold on to them tightly.

3. The Wisdom of Solomon and the Power of Ownership

  • Two women dispute the identity of a living child, each claiming to be the mother.
  • Solomon proposes to cut the child in half; the real mother offers to give up the child to save his life.
  • Her willingness to sacrifice reveals true ownership—love does not divide but protects.
  • When we birth something spiritually, we must recognize and defend it.

Closing Reflection:

  • True ownership requires full commitment—we must claim all of what God has for us, not just a portion.
  • The mother in the story understood that her child was not to be divided; likewise, we should not settle for half of our blessings.
  • Victory must be heard as well as seen—when Solomon rendered judgment, all of Israel recognized his divine wisdom.
  • The final takeaway: If it’s truly mine, I need proof of possession. Close your hand and protect your promise—It’s All Mine!
