HIS OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE

HIS OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE

1Peter 2:9 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.

Could you repeat this verse over and over until you sense the Holy Spirit coming upon you as it did me when I said it once like this: I am of a chosen generation, a member of God’s royal priesthood, part of a holy nation of believers. His own special people. I will proclaim the praises of Him who called me out of darkness into His marvelous light.

I am determined not to forget this verse and remind myself what it is saying to me. I have written it in my Bible. I have already discovered it is a great blessing to me as I am being consecrated by God, that is set apart and dedicated to the service of God. The words we speak have to be more effective for God. The love of God in us has to break down barriers so that people are set free from the forces of darkness.

We have the promise of God that if we abide in Lord Jesus and His words abide in us, we will ask what we desire, and Lord Jesus promised it would be granted. John 15:7. With our bodies as living sacrifices, and being the temple of the Holy Spirit, then we have access to the power of God to be used to glorify His name. We are walking in obedience to His teaching and showing the fruit of the Holy Spirit as we abide in Christ.

Prayer: Thank you are loving Heavenly father for choosing us for this time and making us part of a nation of believers that your will be done, your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
