SCRIPTURE:

The Lord shall command the blessing upon you in your storehouse and in all that you undertake. And He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you. (Deuteronomy 28:8 AMPC)

DEVOTIONAL:

People have no choice but to be royal. God has “commanded the blessing.” (See Deuteronomy 28:8.) He cannot and will not take it back—ever. The blessing of our royal nature cannot be overridden by people, principalities, or the devil himself. There isn’t anything you have done that can stand in the way of your royal identity operating in your life. Period.

But while we cannot change our identity, we do have mastery over how much of our inheritance we walk in. Your inheritance, flowing down from Adam and Abraham, manifests in proportion to the self-image you embrace by faith. One man of God put it this way, “Your inheritance comes only in proportion to your new identity.”

Most of what we receive is based on our image. The question is, do you see yourself with it? If you don’t, you won’t get it. You can blame people and powers and institutions and politicians and bosses and neighbors and so on, but as my hero, Booker T. Washington used to quote from Scripture, “as [a man] thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). What you believe is what you become. What you believe about yourself is where you end up.

PRAYER:

Father, thank you for the royal identity You have given me. I receive the royal nature—words and actions—that agree with Your Word, and I purpose to operate according to Your kingdom principles. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
