YOU ARE A ROYALTY

The scripture talks about how God has made us to be kings and priests unto Him. Men, you need to start seeing yourself as a king. Women, start seeing yourself as a queen. Start carrying yourself as royalty. Not with arrogance, thinking that you are better than others, but in humility be proud of who God made you to be. You are not better than anyone else, but you are not less than anyone else either. It doesn't matter how many degrees they have. It doesn't matter how important their family is. Understand, your father created the whole world. When he breathed His life into you and sent you to planet Earth, you didn't come as ordinary. You didn't come as average. He put a crown of honour on your head. Now, start thinking as royalty, talking as royalty, walking as royalty, and acting as royalty.

I was watching Television 2017 when Her royalty Majesty of England was celebrating her birthday. When the queen walked in the room, you could feel the strength, the confidence, and the dignity. She had her head held high and a pleasant smile on her face. She waved to everyone as though they were her best friends. What was interesting was that there were all kinds of important people in that meeting. There were president of the United State of America Barack Obama and other presidents of different Nations. World-renowned entertainers, famous athletes, scientist, and some of the brightest, most talented people in the world. But-and I say this respectfully-the queen was not the most beautiful person in the room. There were other ladies who were younger and much more beautiful, but judging from the way the queen carried herself, you would have though she was the cat’s meow. She had it going on-strong, confident, secure. The queen wasn't the wealthiest, fittest, or most educated woman in the room either. A lot of people would have been intimidated walking into that room, but not her. She walked in as though she owned the place. Why? She knows who she is. She’s the queen. She comes from a long line of royalty. It’s been ingrained in her thinking, I’m not average. I’m not ordinary, I’m one of a kind.

No doubt some morning when the queen wakes up, the same thoughts come to her mind that come to all of us. You are not as beautiful as your sister. You are not as talented as your brother. You are not as smart as your coworker. Be intimidated. You are inferior. The queen lets that go in one ear and out the other. She thinks, what are talking about? It doesn't matter how I compare to others. I am the queen. I have got royalty in my blood. In my DNA is generations of influence, honour, and prestige.

If you and I could ever start seeing ourselves as the kings and the queens God made us to be, we would never be intimidated again. You don’t have to be the most talented to feel good about yourself. You don’t have to be the most educated or the most successful. When you understand your heavenly Father breathed His life into you, you too come from a long line of royalty. Instead of being intimidated or made to feel insecure by some one who you think is more important, you can do like the queen. Just be at ease, be kind. Ladies, you may not be the most beautiful person, but be confident you are the queen to your spouse. Men, you may not be the most successful, but stand up tall. You are the king on the throne. You are crowned not by people but by Almighty God.

But a lot of times we think, I can’t feel good about myself. I have got this setback. I struggle with a bad temper. I have made a lot of mistakes in life. I don’t feel like a masterpiece. Here’s the key: your value is not based on your performance. You don’t have to do enough good and then maybe God will approve you. God has already approved you as a king or queen.
