\u00a0<\/u><\/em>In Christ I am: ROYALTY
\n<\/u>But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1<\/em>\u00a0Peter 2:9 NKJV<\/p>\n

Believers, in Christ we are royalty!\u00a0 We are children of the King of the Universe. We are chosen, royal priests, of a holy nation.\u00a0 Special people, filled with the light of Christ, and what are we called to do?\u00a0 \u00a0Proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of the darkness!<\/p>\n

Being royal is wonderful, but it also has a responsibility.\u00a0 We don\u2019t just live for ourselves; we live now to do God\u2019s good works on this earth.\u00a0 We are called by Him to fulfill the great commission of preaching the gospel to all we meet.\u00a0 We are called to be fruitful.\u00a0 We are a blessed people whom the world should see as different, and that should cause them to want to learn more about why.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s think upon this today: \u201cYou shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the LORD, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Isaiah 62:3 NKJV<\/p>\n

Walk in your calling saints and be blessed.<\/p>\n
