"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."

1 Peter 2:9

Our 4m today. As I read this and meditate on this words, I have a new rhema.

We are;

1-chosen people
~ chosen = terpilih. We are 1 in a zillion. But God C.H.O.S.E us..He C.H.O.S.E you and me. Isn't that wonderful dear friends? Kata terpilih ni seringkali membawa maksud despite everything, He stay to chose us. Why?Because He love us!Love that never fails!

2-royal priesthood
~ royal = rajani. Wow! Great isnt it? Kalau kita lihat, keturunan raja macam mana, semua yg terbaik pasti untuk mereka. Baju saja warna kuning (even this color is prohibited to normal residents when the king is there, becos only them can wear!)penuh dengan kilauan. Meaning, God gives not only good things but the best things that beyond our imagination. (Apa yg tidak pernah timbul dlm hati itu yg disediakan oleh Tuhan bagi semua orang yg mengasihi Dia)

3-a holy nation
~ holy = kudus. Kita sebagai anak2 Tuhan, kita sudah ada benih ilahi dlm hati kita. Meaning, kita boleh saja jatuh dalam dosa tapi kita tidak boleh tinggal dlm dosa. Kerana dosa memutuskan persekutuan kita dengan Sang Pencipta kita. Therefore, chose to not live in sin. (Jagalah hati ku Tuhan, supaya aku tidak berdosa kepada mu).

4-people belonging to God
~ belonging = kepunyaan. Kita ini kepunyaannya Tuhan. Hak milik Tuhan. Hak cipta terpelihara. And Lukas 10:20 saying that '....rejoice that your names are written in heaven." Once we accept Jesus as our savior and confess to Him that He died on the cross for our sins, our names is already registered in the Book of Life. O yeah!

5-declared the praises of him
~ declared = memberitakan. We are His messenger in this world. We are called to be His 'penyambung lidah'. The lord said "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,..". Ketika kita menjadi umat kepunyaannya Tuhan, kita bukan saja mendengar dan menyaksikan perbuatan Tuhan, tapi kita MENGALAMInya sendiri! We experienced the goodness of God. So we are called to declared the goodness of God so that the world knows our sovereigen God. He is worthy to be praised!

Jadi teman-teman, sy merenungkan ini sy dikuatkan. Kita diciptakan serupa dengan gambaran Tuhan. Yg juga bermaksud kita telah didesign punya potensi dalam diri kita. Cuma bagian yg perlu kita lakukan tetap tinggal di dalam Tuhan dan taat kepada firmanNya dan carilah maka engkau akan mendapatnya.

Kita juga diciptakan untuk menjadi berkat. Sebab itu, hati-hati dengan kata-kata yg keluar dari mulut. Biarlah semua yg keluar dr lidah kita membangun dan memberkati org lain.

So in a nutshell, know ur identity in Christ. Because the truth shall set you free! God Bless.
