Status - Royalty

Now if we are children, then we are heirs- - heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8:17 NIV

If you watched the Royal wedding of Meghan and Harry you couldn’t help but to be in awe. The Church, cars, outfits, and glorious castle called their new home, a fairytale unfolding right before the world’s eyes. I don’t think it was a coincident the day after the wedding during my study time with the Lord I was reminded of the scripture above. I believe it was a nudge to examine our inherited royalty through Christ. We are called co-heirs to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Through Him we inherit power, strength, favor, and blessings. But most of all through the bloodline of Jesus Christ we are declared the righteousness of God. The inheritance the Prince and Duchess receive is great but its nothing compared to the free gift through Christ. Jesus sacrifice on the cross guarantees a prosperous future. We are called royal subjects, priest to our God that reign on earth sitting in heavenly places with Christ Jesus       (Rev 5:10, Ephe 2:6). We have a promise of prosperity, optimal health and the great love of Christ in our midst. It is our God-given right that we inherit through Jesus who paid an awesome price for us to obtain all good things through Him. God has royal blessings in store for you. Your inheritance is greater than anything this world can offer, so live, expect, possess as royalty because that’s who you are.

But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. I Peter 2:9 NASB
