As Christians, we have an inheritance because we are in covenant with God. That covenant is explained in the Bible and includes salvation, protection and prosperity. The devil does not have an inheritance because he refuses to believe God. As a result, he steals, kills and destroys to get what he wants.
1 Kings 21 gives an account of how wicked King Ahab killed Naboth because he wanted his inheritance. This explains the quote, "The cemetery is the richest place in the world." Many people die with unfulfilled dreams.
Many people allow the devil to steal from them and destroy them because they think that this is normal. While God promises to restore the years that the devil steals in Joel 2:25, God does not want the devil to steal anything from us. We should be on the defensive and prevent the devil from stealing from us and destroying us. We are connected to God and no weapon formed against us prospers according to Isaiah 54:17.
In fact, we are supposed to be taking things from the devil. Proverbs 13:22 says that the wealth of the wicked is reserved for the righteous. That means that our wealth should not be devoured by the devil.
Matthew 12:29 says that we can tie up the devil and his evil spirits and carry off with his possessions through the power of the Holy Spirit. It's time to plunder the enemy's things.
I bind the thief from stealing, killing and destroying in my life.
