OPEN HEAVEN 22 October 2026 READ: 1 Peter 2:9-11 (KJV)
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

There was a story of an eagle that a mother hen hatched. For years, the eagle behaved like a chicken – scratching for worms and never soaring as an eagle should. That continued until one day, the eagle saw another eagle flying in the sky and was intrigued by the way it spread its wings and soared in the sky. Somehow, the eagle felt it could also do the same thing; so it opened up its wings and began to fly. That was when the eagle realised that it was not a chicken, but an eagle that was born to soar.
Beloved, if you don’t recognise your identity in Christ, you will remain a slave to the things Jesus went to the cross to deliver you from. You will struggle for worms with other chickens when you should be soaring high in the sky and diving to get your meals without stress. Knowing your divine identity will empower you to overcome whatever struggles you face, as you will understand that Jesus has paid the price for you to be free.
You cannot know who you are in God if you don’t spend time in His word. Your divine identity can only be revealed to you through God’s word. The more you spend time reading and studying God’s word, the more His light will shine upon your heart to show you who you are in Him. Psalm 119:130 says that the entrance of God’s word gives light and understanding to the simple. It doesn’t matter your background or status; once you come to Christ, you have become royalty. Revelation 1:6 says that Jesus has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father. Today’s Bible reading also reveals that if you are a child of God, you are royalty.
Beloved, you are God’s chosen vessel and an ambassador for Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20). This means that there are things you cannot do, and one of them is to live in sin. Today’s memory verse says that we should keep ourselves clean because we bear the vessels of the Lord. If you bear the vessel of the Lord, no unclean thing should be found in you. You must steer clear of anything that represents sin and unrighteousness. Princes should not be found naked in public. Sin makes people naked, and your divine identity as a royal priesthood forbids this.
Prayer Point:
Father, please help me to know and walk in my divine identity as Your child, in Jesus’ name.
