For anyone who happens to come from the royal
lineage, there is every possibility for him to become a king. The moment the
person marries, the wife also gets the opportunity of becoming a queen. When they
start giving birth, the chain keeps going on and on and on. If all members of
the royal family are to be given a car each, irrespective of the age, they will
all get a car because it is their right. If a one year old prince calls a forty
year old slave, he answers with same energy he would answer the father. If a
king adopts a child as his own, do you think, the child would be treated as a
slave or as an heir to the throne? Heir of course!
I won’t be flattering you if I call you, “king
Samuel.” The reason being that bible says God created us in His own image and as
believers, we are of the lineage of the King of kings. However, what gives us
the opportunity to become a member of the ruling family on earth is redemption.
Redemption is the initiation of a believer into the family of Christ. The moment
you confess your sins, repent of them, restitute and forsake them, you get
registered a king in the lineage of the King of kings. Rom 11:17 says, “And if
some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert
graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the
olive tree.”
Gal 3:29 says, “And if ye be Christ's, then are ye
Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Wow! In other words, the
moment you confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you automatically become
a seed of Abraham and heir to the promise that God gave him in Gen 17:6 – “And
I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings
shall come out of thee.”
Be wise!
