By Way Of My Fathers

This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land

Inheritance. Portion. Birthright. Inheritance is the culmination of several generations of family work and wealth that is passed to you. As a firstborn, it was your birthright. It was your duty to take this inheritance, build on it, and pass it on to your line.

Remember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
ask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
when He divided mankind,
He fixed the borders of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God.
(Deuteronomy 32:7,8)

What was once a vital part of a family’s welfare and survival has now vanished from our grasp. This birthright has been bred out of us in a relatively short period of time, considering how important birthright has been throughout all of recorded history.

As with any country or community that is invaded by foreigners, what once was held to be dear and meaningful, is now trampled under foot of an outsider. An alien to our customs, culture and heritage. With access being granted to the invader, either by stealth or by force, we are being robbed of  our birthright.
