OUR REALITY
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a 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.â€
1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
Main Text:
We are a generation born in due season. The popular gospel song “I know who I am” sang by Sinach, gives a simple explanation to this scripture. It states “we are a chosen generation, we are called forth to show His excellence and all I require for life God has given me.” Jesus said “Let your light so shine” (Matt. 5:16) Indeed, He expects every one of us to shine in whatever area we find ourselves. This connotes excellence.
When Jesus died on the cross, our reality changed. He became our substitute. He was made to be sin with our sin, and when we got born again and became a new creature, we were made righteous with His righteousness. The Great Exchange became possible! He became sin so that we can become His righteousness. You’re not an old washed up sinner, you are righteous.
On the cross, Jesus gave you a new identity, a new reality! The bondage of sin, poverty, sickness and disease became done with and health and vitality became your new reality! You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Cor 5:21) don’t ever think you are not worthy to be blessed by God.
Confession: I enjoy the outpouring of abundance, the land is green for me, I am righteous, I am blessed, the glory of the latter is greater than the former, the blessing is here, I am blessed, the Greater One abides in me! Hallelujah!
Further Reading: Eph 1:4 (TLB) “Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault-we who stand before him covered with his love.”
Eph 2:4-5 (TLB) “But God is so rich in mercy; he loved us so much that even though we were spiritually dead and doomed by our sins, he gave us back our lives again when he raised Christ from the dead-only by his undeserved favor have we ever been saved.”
