Now before you pull out your birth certificates, passports, identification cards etc... just to show me what you are identified by in this world, Read This!
We all have stories to tell. Bullying, Molestation, Insults, Assaults, Abuse, Rape, Neglect, Fear, Low Self- Esteem, Poverty, Illness, need i state more? I do have my very own story to tell, but is that what i should be labelled as?
We let ourselves go, and according to us, we lost our self respect, dignity, confidence, and many more in the process and even find it difficult to let go of the past. Losing sight of who we are. We blame it on the event or experience but wait, even before it happened, did you know who you really are (NOT WERE)? Is that who you are and is that what you are made of?
Lets go back to where we all started from. In Genesis 1: 27-28 "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created him, male and female he created them..." In psalm 139:14, it says "....
I am fearfully and wonderfully made...." In 1 john 3:1" How great is the love the father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!"
Who are you? A CHILD OF GOD! ( **Fearfully and wonderfully made **)
Now if in Revelation 17:14 it says " These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them,
for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him
are called, chosen, and faithful." and in 1 Peter 2:9 also it says, “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a
people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who
called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” then,
What are you? ROYALTY!
We always recognize the likes of Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Prince Charles and so on but never see ourselves as what we are. Maybe you still do not get the picture. You are Priceless, a Royal Priesthood, Powerful, Blessed...
Royalty begets Royalty. You think Queen Elizabeth has no idea who she is? They all know who they are. Their mannerism, their demeanor, is definitely one of class. The authority, privileges and respect was not earned but inherited from their King. Why cant you exercise yours? What stops you?
As the royal priesthoods that God calls us to be. We are chosen and called. Exercise that Power and authority of royals. You have been given the power to overcome for you are overcomers! " For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love, and of sound mind." 2 timothy 1:7. Let go of the fear, the shame, the pain, the confusion, and the hurt. Rather, be filled with the Spirit!
REFUSE to be called Shameful, loser, failure, disgrace, inferior, Sick, Poor, etc...For that is not who and what you are!
You are children of God, a royal priesthood, Powerful, strong and Great!.
YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE! (not what others say you are)
