' T ' and the Heiress

Have you ever lost sight of your identity?

Have you ever felt that if you were the offspring of someone wealthy and influential or if you were married to someone wealthy and influential certain things might be easier to accomplish?

Well I must confess, there have been times when I have lost sight of my identity. Times when I have seen certain women launch various businesses or products and thought that of course you can do that, look who your fathers is or you are married to so and so. I would be able to do that if I were in your position.

However once after feeling rather cynical and deflated about facing a new challenge and formulating numerous arguments as to why I couldn't possibly accomplish it I heard in my mind God answering and saying, "you also have a Father who is wealthy and extremely influential". God reminded me that I am indeed an heiress, a child of The King!

I later learned that royals are taught from the day they were born how to be a royal, how not to allow people or circumstances intimidate you or to never feel inferior (wow). Being born into royalty meant that I was no longer disadvantaged. Now the most powerful thing about seeing myself as an heiress is the change of mindset that is required. When you first start meditating on this your mind will trip and that voice inside will start screaming, as this is something quite alien to the most of us. However, like everything else in the Kingdom of God, this truth has to be caught by faith and will become more and more acceptable to your mental faculties as you renew your mind by the word of God (Romans 12:1,2).

I remember the story of Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9:6-8 and the statement that comes out of his mouth when David (a king) tells him that he wants to show him kindness and restore to him all of his grandfathers land (Saul who was also a king). Mephibosheth says, falling prostrate on the floor "What is your servant, that you should regard a dead dog as me" such a statement brings tears to my eyes because here we have a man who is royalty by birth, however due to his disability and the circumstances that he has been living in, he doesn't in any way think of himself as royalty much more an heir. Instead in his mind he is simply a dead dog. How many of us who are children of the King of King's, instead of seeing ourselves as royalty, princes or princesses, see ourselves as something far lower. If it brings tears to my eyes how must God feel to see His children, His heirs begging, struggling, in debt, suffering with feelings of inferiority, low self-esteem and low self-worth?

Just like Mephibosheth a King has come to our rescue, a King has come to take us out of the sorry situations of life, place us into a new life and given us an inheritance far greater than anything else that we have ever known. We have been chosen, sought out, to be a part of His Royal Family, totally accepted and loved unconditionally.

So does being an heiress change anything? Well how you see yourself determines how you carry yourself, what things or people you will permit in your presence and in your life. How you see yourself also determines how you will allow others to treat you and what you will tolerate. When you have the mindset of an heir/heiress you will realise that there is nothing you can't do. Step into your royalty today and let me know what happens.
