The Royal You II

Wednesday 30 September
READ: I Cor. 6:9-17
MORE LESSON: I Pet. 2:9

Time and space will fail us to examine in detail some powerful examples like that donkey that Jesus rode at his memorable triumphal entry into Jerusalem, And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way: Matt.21:7-8. Jesus was the focus of that celebration but the donkey that bore Jesus on its back couldn't be separated from the honour as they removed their clothing to spread on the floor.

The ordinary donkey galloped with its dirty hoofs on those precious clothes all because it had Jesus on its back. I can bet that donkey will never forget the event! It was the best day of its life and the greatest honour any donkey ever had. You may never have had the opportunity to choose your father and mother and siblings before you were born into your earthly blood-line, but you have a yet greater opportunity, and that is to choose your spiritual family. For the spiritual is superior to the physical.

There are two spiritual fathers out there: God the Father, After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name: Matt. 6:9 and the devil, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it: Jn. 8:44. But those who choose the devil as their father are called children of evil because the shame and darkness of the devil overshadows them and becomes their identity!

Those who choose God as their Father carry Christ the King in them and are called the sons of the King of kings. The name, honour and glory of the King is seen upon their lives because they are no ordinary people. Sickness and all manner of evil bow at their feet because their words are the words of the King who is Lord over life and death; He is the Sovereign Saviour! But the choice is yours. I beseech you to choose life in Christ the King. If there is a King with and in you then you are a royalty. Walk and live the royal life in Christ from today. There is hope for you! Jesus is Life. Stand and take your place today. Reject every name and circumstances that have shaped your life to the contrary.
