29-JULY-2024 - THE PRINCE WHO COULD NOT BE TEMPTED
TITLE: THE PRINCE WHO COULD NOT BE TEMPTED.
The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Devotional:
King Louis XVI of France’s son was kidnapped to a place where he was exposed to all sorts of filthy and vile things. Finally, after intensive temptation, they asked him why he had not submitted himself to these things; why he had not partaken of all the things presented to him. He responded, “I cannot do what you ask for. I was born to be a king”.
Do you know who you are? Do you know what and how you are to think, talk and do things? You are Kings and Queens of God’s Kingdom. You are royalty. We are royals.
As royalty, we must always think of our heritage in order to guide our thoughts, words and actions.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- Who is a royalty?
- What is required of me as royalty, a child of God?
- How can I use my royal authority to make a positive impact in my world?
Let us pray:
Dear God, help me to realise I am royalty. Help me Lord, to overcome all forms of temptation in Jesus name.
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- I am a King from a royal lineage, and I conduct myself in a manner befitting royalty.
- My thoughts, words and actions reflect the nobility and grace of my royal lineage.
Do have a beautiful day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow.
