TEXT 1 PETER 2:9
TOPIC : IDENTITY AND PREDESTINATION
1 Peter 2:9
[9]But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
There was this incident that happened in a hospital in Japan many years ago.
Two boys born the same day to different parents were erroneously switched to different parents.
The one from a poor single mother was sent to the home of a wealthy realtor while their own baby was sent to the poor single mother.
While one was raised in ambience and had private tutors, went to the best schools the other one grew up with very few options in life.
He struggled to make ends meet and ended up modest.
Sixty years latter a DNA text revealed the error, the hospital was asked to pay the man $300,000 in compensation.
Beloved, imagine how the boy who was raised up in the wealthy home faced life.
He would have gone through life with the mind set and mentality that his father has got everything under control.
The one that was raised in the poor home would have faced life with a different mind set, the " I have no one to help me" mentality.
Aren't we all like this man with a supper-rich parentage that was raised by the poor single mother.
The difference between the two men and the out comes in life was basically their identity.
Do you really know who you are?
In 1 Peter 2:9, the Holy spirit revealed to us who we are.
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light"
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
