Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant but a son, if a son, then an heir of God through Christ Galatians 4:1-7.
Do you see that? You can be the next one in line to take over the kingdom? Your bloodline can declare that you are an heir, but you will not sit on your throne and neither will you possess what's rightfully yours until you have been trained and matured.
No premature baby has the right to walk out of his mother's womb. Even if he decides to walk out, he doesn't have the strength to stand. He can't see. He's totally helpless. He can't walk out before his time. He can't even do it when it is time. His mother's body works hard to push him down the birth canal and into the world.
God has ordained a person to press you to the next level, and no one else can take that person's place. And if God has placed you in the womb of a particular body of Christ, no one else can carry you. You were in your mother's womb nine months for a purpose. Staying there for the full term ensured that your growth would be complete. That was your place of development, and that's what the body of Christ is for you spiritually. Especially the local body in which you have been placed.
When you accept Christ and God plants you in a body, it's like an artificial insemination. That body has been chosen to house you until you are mature, and you must stay there until you are mature enough to begin the ministry that God has called you to. That is why God gives us pastors that have a heart after God, who will feed His sheep!
