Change Your Attitude.

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." Phil. 4:8.

Long ago, there ruled in Persia a wise and good king. He loved his people. He wanted to know how they lived. He wanted to know about their hardships. Often he dressed in the clothes of a working man or a beggar, and went to the homes of the poor. No one whom he visited thought that he was their ruler. One time he visited a very poor man who lived in a hut. He ate the poor food the poor man ate. He spoke cheerful, kind words to him. Then he left. Later he visited the poor man again and disclosed his identity by saying, “I am your king!” The king thought the man would surely ask for some gift or favour, but he didn’t. Instead he said, “You left your palace and your glory to visit me in this dark and poverty stricken place. You ate my terrible food? You brought gladness to my heart! To others you have given your rich gifts. To me you have given yourself!” The King left him that day, with a great plan to make him royalty, because he had the attitude of royalty. The King of glory, the Lord Jesus Christ, gave himself to you and me in our poor state, we must maintain the attitude of royalty to experience His blessedness. 

Cultivating an attitude of royalty means shifting your mindset to align with your true identity as a co-heir with Christ. You can activate this royal authority daily by meditating on scripture to overcome limitations and walk in kingdom purpose. You must continually choose not to conform to the world, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. A royal mindset rejects thoughts of defeat, lack, and fear. You must on a daily basis read and declare scriptures that remind you of your status to break free from old, limiting thought patterns. You should continue to speak God's promises over your life, family, and community. Your words can establish kingdom principles, bring healing, and declare victories before you see them in the natural realm.

You must also cultivate the attitude of integrity and righteousness. Righteous living begins in the mind. Actively replacing negative, anxious, or unwholesome thoughts with God's promises helps you maintain a peaceful and dignified perspective. Your words hold great power and reflect the condition of your heart. Choosing to speak words of edification, truth, and wisdom projects dignity. Dignity is a two-way street that requires honoring the inherent value of every person you encounter. Practicing humility and kindness naturally establishes a standard of righteousness in your community. Righteousness is not just a standard to reach, but a spiritual garment to put on daily. It equips you to stand firm against temptation and pursue moral integrity. Selah!

DECLARATION: 

Dear Abba Father, I thank You for the gift of life and the privilege of Salvation. Lord, I ask that You transform my mind so that I may fully realize and walk in the dignity of my identity in You. Let Your Holy Spirit empower me to reflect Your character in every area of my life. Grant me the grace to wear my royal identity—not with pride or arrogance—but with the quiet confidence, humility, and grace that mirrors the nature of Your Kingdom. When I face challenges, doubt, or temptation, remind me of who I’m and whose I’m in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
