Inheritance for sons

Robert Kyosaki, the man who wrote Rich dad Poor dad, told a story of a wealthy man who said he would not give an inheritance to his children until his children had gone out and with their own money, made a small fortune.  He knew that if the child didn’t learn how to manage his own small amount of money, it would be unsafe for the father to give them a large inheritance.  Every father enjoys seeing their children grow up and is waiting for them to mature so he is able to truly share life together and ultimately his inheritance with them.God is not about to give his inheritance to babies but mature sons, and the different Greek words for children and sons in the New Testament illustrates the growth of sons.First there is Paidion, which means a baby; then Nepios,  a young child; Teknon,  a young person and finally Huis, a mature son ready to be adopted. 1Jn 3:1In the Roman culture a son was adopted when they were grown up and mature. Jesus grew through all these stages, and when he was fully mature and ready to share the responsibilities and authority of the Father, he was publically adopted at his baptism and ready to begin his ministry.Friend, God has an inheritance for you. The more you mature, the more you become ready for more of your inheritance.
