Royal Priesthood

Don’t let anybody discount you when God included you.If God included me in his plan, I don’t have to worry about you and your comments on who I’m not and where I come from.In fact, God is intentional. He loves taking the base things to confound those who are high and mighty. He loves taking not much and making it more than enough. He loves taking somebody who’s down and out, and putting them up in it. God has a way of glorifying himself! When God blesses you and blesses me; people have to look at that and say…now that had to be GOD!- Pastor Paul Sheppard

I was listening to a sermon this morning and I decided to write down the above excerpt from it. The statement is so true. We are born into royalty because our Heavenly Father is the King. God loves and cares so much for each and every one of us, and there’s nothing that he wouldn’t do for his children. He went all the way to Calvary for us. I’ve seen his good works in my own life. I’ve been last and he made me first, I should’ve been dead but he stopped my enemies from harming me. I should’ve lost my mind a long time ago but he kept me covered. We don’t have to walk around defeated all the time or with our head hanging low. We were born royalty. We were born into a priesthood and nothing we do can or will change that. The same way Queen Elizabeth’s children will always be Prince and Princess, you will always be a child of the King. Even though many poeple congratulated me on being awarded employee of the year and thought it was well deserved, there are others who wondered or questioned why it was given to me. That’s none of my concern however. I went from a “nobody” to the most recognized. And that could only be God. Pastor Paul ended his sermon by saying “God is making you peculiar in his own special way. And his end plan is so that we would show forth his praises as we live our lives .You’re supposed to be a trophy of God’s grace and just keep walking with him, he will make you a showpiece of his grace. He’s going to make you a showpiece of his love. He’s going to make sure everybody who knows you, will have to see that God is at work in your life, to will and to do of his good pleasure. Not all of them will like you, some will resent how you live but don’t worry about it. Love them anyhow. Show forth the love and the praises of God because he is going to glorify himself through your life!”. Whatever the plans are that he has for your life, it will come to pass. It doesn’t matter what obstacles are in your way, just like he parted the Red Sea, he will remove anything standing in your way. I’m a living witness to this. God has a way of restoring you in front of the very people that tried to tear you down. The blessing of Abraham is on your life. Always remember that you are the head and not the tail, a lender and not a borrower. So don’t stress or worry about the things that are going wrong. Keep the faith, believe and claim the blessings God has promised you. Happy Friday and Be Blessed❤️
