Returning to Your Rightful Place

"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love." Revelation 2:4

We have left our first love. We have turned our back against Him and pursued the world. It is time to get back to our rightful place. In Psalm 139:15-16, the psalmist was praising God and acknowledging how the Lord knew of Him before there was even light on this earth. "Your eyes saw my substance being yet unformed." Wow! He knew about you before mom, dad, or anyone knew about you. While these are all wonderful truths, we have to be aware that there is an enemy who wants to take our identity. The key to getting back to our rightful place will be in knowing who we are in Christ.

The word says, "You are a chosen generation, royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people…" (1 Peter 2:9). This is what the word says you are my sister, but in order for us to know this, we have to look in the mirror of the word to see who the Lord says we are. The enemy who is the devil comes to do one of three things. He wants to kill, steal, and destroy. He wants to kill your destiny, steal your identity, and destroy your purpose. God says He wants us to have abundant life (John 10:10). It would be so sad if we leave this earth and the enemy knew more of our potential than we did. Do not let that happen. I know you might be wondering how to get to that rightful place. Let’s see what the word says.

If you go back to Revelation 2:4-5, the scripture tells to repent. We have all fallen short (Romans 3:23), but the Lord is calling us into His marvelous light out of the darkness (1 Peter 2:9). My dearest, you have been given keys to unlock everything that has been taken away from you. The Lord does not need us, but He wants us. How much better it is to be wanted than needed. What will you do with what you been given? What will you do with the keys? It is time to unlock your destiny.

Before I go, The Lord wants me to give you some keys:

Meditate on His word. Meditating on something allows it to not only get in your head, but your soul. Think on His word. Look in the scriptures to find out more of who you are. (Psalm 1:2-3)

Know who created you. In order to know who you are, you have to know who created you. For you are one with Him once you accept Him (Hebrews 2:11). He has made the mystery known. We have a responsibility to be caretakers of the word (Colossians 1:26-27).

Be encouraged my sisters!!

In Him,
