“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!
