Don’t Live Below Your Inheritance

    “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you
out of darkness into his wonderful light.
I Peter 2:9
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The headlines in the Denver Post are in 2” tall bold block letters:
“Peyton Manning Signs with Local High School JV Team”
            Why on earth would he do that?
You say: “That would be beyond belief and pretty ridiculous!”
Sure it would be!
After all, he is a Super Bowl winning NFL quarterback hailing from a legendary football family.
How much more ridiculous is it when we, as believers, live below our inheritance?
We are co-heirs with Jesus Christ.
Children of the Most High God.
So why do we so often play at the ‘JV’ level, so to speak?
It’s because we don’t know or fail to understand who we are in Christ.
We allow the enemy to define our identity instead of believing what the Word of God says.
We believe a lie instead of the truth.
Imagine all of the wasted potential; what could have been.
Do you live your life as God’s special possession?
You are you know.
That doesn’t mean you won’t face difficulties, trials and tests.
It does mean that in all of those things you are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you!
