TOPIC: Your Words Carry Power (TREM Devotional 27 January 2026)
“But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” – 1 Peter 2:9 (NKJV)
MESSAGE
Beloved, think about this for a moment: in the vast multitude of people on earth, God chose you. He looked through the crowd and said, “This is the one I want.” That is not a casual choice, it is a deliberate act of divine love.
When someone chooses something precious, they go to great lengths to protect and preserve it. They handle it with care and ensure it is safe at all times. That’s exactly how God feels about you. You are not ordinary, you are His treasure, His royal possession, and His delight.
You may be worried about how your life will turn out, but remember this truth: the One who chose you is also the One who preserves you. He said you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation. That means you are not trying to become special, you already are!
Our priesthood is after the order of Melchizedek, the priesthood of Christ Himself. And in Christ, we carry both the priestly and kingly anointings. As kings, we rule with authority; as priests, we intercede with grace. This dual anointing empowers us to bless, to decree, to reverse every curse, and to bring healing and restoration wherever we go.
Beloved, your words are not empty. As a royal priest, your declarations carry divine weight. When you speak, things happen. You have the power to pronounce blessings, to silence the voice of the wicked, and to shape destinies. It’s time to walk in that authority and deploy the power that God has entrusted to you.
Today, I declare that you will not be lost in the crowd! You are divinely distinguished. God is your refuge and fortress, your ever-present help in times of need. You will never be stranded. Whatever you have lost, for years or even decades, shall be restored to you in full measure.
Evil shall bow before you, and the wicked at your gate. The Lord Himself will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
