Chapter 7: Influence Over Inheritance - North Richmond Bible Class - 10.24.24

This class explores several remarkable biblical accounts of mothers who took decisive action to secure their children's spiritual and physical inheritance. The lesson examines how these women demonstrated remarkable foresight and courage, often having to prod or persuade their aging husbands to take action before death to prevent future conflicts.
Key stories covered include:
• A wife who recognized the need to remove competition that threatened her son's inheritance
• A mother who helped her younger son secure the blessing through deception, knowing God's prophecy
• A daughter who wisely asked not just for land but also water rights
• A queen who urgently reminded the king of his promise regarding succession when another son attempted to seize power
The study reveals how these women understood the critical timing of securing inheritances while the patriarchs were still alive and mentally sound. Their actions, though sometimes controversial, protected both physical legacies and God's spiritual promises for future generations.
