Do you realize you have been chosen out of the world? Jesus said you’re not of the world. That’s another way of saying you’re not among the masses. Some people say, “Well we are just average, we are poor; we are the masses.” No! You’ve been called out from among the masses. If you’re born again, you’re no longer a commoner! Quit saying, “I don’t have anybody to help me, I’m living in want, I’m poor!” Refrain from such cheap talking. Recognize that the Lord is your Shepherd; plus that, you’re royalty! You’re a prince of power with God. Walk, talk and act like one.
You know, when you talk yourself down, nobody takes notice of you. When you talk and act like a nobody, people won’t turn their noses up at you in disgust. But the moment you start dressing right and talking right, carrying your head straight, with a sense of dignity in your steps, and declaring, “I’m rich, I’m the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus,” they say, “What does he think he is?” Some will even say you boast too much! You see, that’s not boasting; you’re merely declaring who you are in Christ.
Always have the King’s kid mentality; the Bible says you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation and a peculiar people (1 Peter 2:9). You must see yourself as a peculiar treasure unto God and not as one of the masses of your country, because you’re not of this world; you belong to the glorious Kingdom of Almighty God! Zion has become the new land of your nativity!
