The Royal You I

Tuesday 29 September
READ: Matt. 21:1-9
MORE LESSON: Col. 1:27

I realised that the office seat of a president is called the President's chair, the car of the Queen of England is called the Queen's car, and the house of the Mayor of any city is the Mayor's house. Though the chair, car and house are made from similar materials like others around the world, they are reckoned by a prestigious name and thus, accorded some honour simply because their owners are men and women of honour.

It is thrilling to note that even in the event of selling these properties, their prices escalate incredibly owing to the same reason; the former owners were honorable and respected people so the new buyers pay for both the price of the substance and the worth of the good will of its past and powerful owners. In the same light, the office chair of a sergeant is called a sergeant's chair and the house of a witch doctor is easily referred to as a witch doctor's house. Possessions take the quality and repute of their possessors.

Life is really all about honour. Show me the people you honour and I'll show you how bright your destiny can be. There is such a thing as blessing by association. That is why you must be careful who you call your friends. They determine to a large extent whether life will be full of blessings or emptiness. Rahab the harlot became one of the great grandmothers of Jesus Christ yet she is still popularly known as the harlot because she was in the click that ran the prostitution show in Jericho, And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there: Josh.2:1. Why do we still make reference to the man that Jesus healed of blindness by the name of Bartimaeus as blind Bartimaeus? And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.

And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way: Mk.10:52. Is it that we do not believe that Jesus really cleansed him? Of course we believe, but Mr. Bartimaeus’ long dwelling in blindness makes us to still refer to him as blind Bartimaeus. That is how powerful association and situations are. Now that we carry the Spirit of God in our inside it is our right to be named according to the name of the Lord. You are the son/daughter of the King. You must not allow yourself to be called or treated less than a royal being regardless of your present circumstance.
