The most obvious stumbling block for the Church in protecting the inheritance of all
is for the people holding positions of authority failing to lead the flock into their portion.
1 Kings 21:
1 And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard
which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 So Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it
for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it
I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it seems good to you,
I will give you its worth in money.”
3 But Naboth said to Ahab, “The Lord forbid that I should
give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”

This issue extends to the elders, and senior members of a church.
Ezekiel 34:
17 ‘And as for you, O My flock, thus says the Lord God: “Behold,
I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and goats.
18 Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that
you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture—
and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the residue with your feet?
19 And as for My flock, they eat what you have trampled with your feet,
and they drink what you have fouled with your feet.”
20 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord God to them: “Behold,
I Myself will judge between the fat and the lean sheep.
21 Because you have pushed with side and shoulder,
butted all the weak ones with your horns,
and scattered them abroad,
22 therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer
be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
23 I will establish one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them—
My servant David. He shall feed them and be their shepherd.
24 And I, the Lord, will be their God, and My servant
David a prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken.
All of Ezekiel 34, Jeremiah 23, and Zechariah 11 must be mandatory
reading for every mature saint to grasp the importance of respecting
boundaries, avoiding stumbling blocks and protecting every inheritance.
