(Second part)
Memory verse (1Pet2: 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 "
Who chooses you determines your status in life. Whose you are determines who you are in life. When you choose a lady and you marry her, her status is changed, even her names are changed. The day you allowed Christ into your life, your status changed that very day. You are a special person just because Christ is in your life. Every one who received and believed in Him, he gave them the power to become the children of God (Jn1: 12). You are a child of God. There in no special thing in the whole of this world than being a child of God, think about it, a child not of the president of the nation, not of General secretary of UN, not of the richest man in the world, not of the most famous man in the world, but the child of the eternal, almighty God, possessor of heaven and earth!!!!!
You are a priest in God’s kingdom. You are a king in God’s kingdom (Rev5: 10). The day the Lord pointed out his finger on you and singled you out of millions, you became different. It does not matter what God makes out of your life, what is important is that he chose you. Whether he makes you a vessel or an instrument for whatever purpose, or a weapon of war in his hand, or a polished arrow in his quiver or any thing, but as long as you are in his hand as a chosen one, then begin to smile because you are special.
It doesn’t matter what society thinks about you or calls you, it doesn’t matter what color or what gender you are or what education standard you have, you are a special person in God’s eye.
The most special thing about you is that you are God’s special choice. As a believer, discover this and you will have peace and joy unspeakable all your lifetime. What makes you special is not what God gives you, not the things of this world, not even what God makes you, only because he has chosen you is special. Paul was a prisoner of Christ and he left a mark in this earth that will never be erased. Jesus never had an office to work in, never had a wife, never built a cathedral but no one has ever shook the world like him , he is the king of kings and Lord of Lords. So, you are special. You are God’s choice person. YOU ARE God’s property. Amen.
