Fellow excellencies

We in Kenya have gently and rapidly slept into an electioneering and campaign mood courtesy of the BBI talk and the upcoming 2022 election. There re myriads of people in the political class who want to be remain relevant and somehow maintain a royal lifestyle. The allure for power is pregnant in the minds and lips of many. We in Christ however have a more excellent and honorable calling as we are going to investigate shortly. 1st Peter 2:9” But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation a people for his own possession that you may proclaim the excellency of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” You and I are called to display the Excellency/eminent goodness of the Lord. We are called a chosen race with Jesus being the first born of creation. We are of the creation of God and also of salvation orchestrated by Christ at the cross. Before man, we may have no royal rating. We may appear as items of dishonor but not before God. We are called a royal priesthood. This is to tell us that we are of the royal family of Christ, elected chosen and born into the family of God with Jesus being our first born and coheirs to the throne of God. Our mission should therefore be to proclaim the goodness of God who has brought us to his kingdom. We are for the display of his splendor and as we do so we are glorified in him. He is the one who is glorified by our lives but we are also made great in him. we become royal to him. We do not only serve him but we are also royal in nature. God sees us as kingly and Jesus is the king among many kings and he is the Lord among many lords. Its apparent in scripture that we will reign with him forever Meanwhile we are invited to take what the enemy had stolen from man and start reigning with him even presently. You are royal; you are a priest to minister the life of God to many. You have been filled in Christ and have been made royal in Christ Jesus, Amen.
