Message
The privileges, protection and the affluence around the princes and princesses of our nations are enormous. They are carefully treated with dignity. In a greater measure, all children of God enjoy greater privileges because the King of kings and owner of all treasures and powers is our Heavenly Father. We are peculiar and special to Him through Christ. However, these special benefits are not automatic to everyone. They are only for genuine children of God. To be qualified therefore, you must be born again by acknowledging your sinfulness, repenting and accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. As a royal priest, stand for righteousness always; and that will grant you the privilege to enjoy the heavenly treasures and resources.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)

4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
