“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
1 Peter 2:9
I believe that the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors was an enactment of God’s own love for His chosen ones. The distinction that comes before the
We are not all endowed similarly, but we have been endowed by the same God who has clothed you and I in the coat that He saw fit for His purpose.
Yet, it seems the moment we touch ground in the world, everything and everyone around us try to clothe us in something other than the glory and distinction that the Most High God clothed us in when HE ALONE formed us in our mother’s womb.
You should know by now that absolutely nothing happens by chance, but by God’s perfect plan.
That cold shoulder you’ve received and not deserved, that betrayal that happened with the one you held the closest, that lie that seemingly almost ruined your name, those persons that would rather you change something about yourself to ‘fit in’ better with the group, those stares of disdain because of your accomplishments at work, all of that, is a result of the divine coat that your Almighty Father has placed on you!
If you are like me, you have endured a series of abuse, hate, dishonor, and deceit, some of which you have placed on yourself because you have been trying so hard to cover the coat in which Jehovah clothed you. You may have visited that place of misunderstanding and lies where you decided that your ‘coat of many colors,’ was too complex or even too heavy for you to keep on, so you have attempted to take it off. You have attempted to be something else aside from the royal child of the King of kings.
Do you not know that your coat is your very own essence, that God put together for HIS glory? And that your coat is a piece of greatness, God’s Own Greatness?
Do you not understand that the making of your distinct coat is to identify you as HIS chosen? To set you apart by His marking? For His purpose? In His Kingdom?!
Friend, God has clothed you in His majesty and mysteries for His own purpose and you never have to trade in your coat for one color because you feel misunderstood or hated.
The promise on your life, your purpose, your destiny, is far greater than even you know! It is too important to give up for anything or anyone. It is all woven in the coat that your Father in heaven has clothed you in.
So I urge you today to walk in your coat. Polish your coat. And most importantly, give thanks to God for your coat.
I pray today that you are encouraged by God to walk in the true calling of who HE ordained you to be. May the fresh anointing from heaven fall on you, unmask you, and bring you to a realm of clarity and truth to see the glory on your life. May you now live and prosper in that glory in Jesus name. Amen.
