The Priestly Choice

Text: 1Peter 2:9 (KJV)

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 marvelous light.

Can you see that the reality of our personality is amazing if we look closely at the text above. I want you to confidently say to yourself “I AM THE PRIESTLY SPECIAL”. I tell you, you are truly peculiar because there is something unique about you.  In our text above, He called us peculiar people, which means we are special beings with a unique divine PRIESTLY task. Due to all of this peculiarity in us, we are treasured with great value. We need to carry ourselves with this mindset. In Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) - For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. We are told that we are God’s masterpiece, and that shows that we are different from others.

Also, we accepting to follow Christ has even made our uniqueness more special. In 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV) - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! We see that because we accepted Christ, we are a new creation and this new us has light, and whenever it is present, all forms of darkness turn to light which makes us attracted to be chosen. Ephesians 5:8- For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. We must remember Psalms 139:14- I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. So, do not underestimate the beauty in you. Many of us try to hold unto the old us with ignorant of our reality, but it is time we let it go so as to exhibit the uniqueness in us fully. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.
