1 Peter 2:9:
“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”.
Do not get caught up in the OKEY
DOKE!. Many of you may not be familiar
with these words. This is an old-school,
flashback term from the mid-west where I grew up. It simply means don’t accept the mediocre,
the mundane or the ordinary. We would
say that people were giving us the OKEY DOKE when what we got was OK, but less
than what we expected or needed. It
was average, basic, standard, every day, run-of-the-mill stuff. Don’t try to pan off on me whatever you think
will placate me or shut me up for the moment.
When babies are making a fuss, parents will often give them something
shiny or noisy( that of little real value) just to quiet them through
distraction. The child might want to be
fed or changed or just held, but they get the OKEY DOKE until the parent is
ready to deal with them. Don’t let life
hand you the OKEY DOKE. You are a royal
priesthood. God loves you so much and
Jesus died for you to have full majestic status. The Holy Spirit is your confidante and constant
companion. God’s angelic forces are on
ready standby to aid you.
Expect the best of everything. Do not settle for less in anything. Expect to be treated right in business
deals. Expect to be afforded the highest
regard at your job, in your neighborhood, in the stores where you shop and
everywhere you go. If people do not
treat a prince in the correct manner, the prince does not lose character and
get bent out of shape; he knows who his father is and that the perpetrator will
be dealt with by his father’s wrath.
Likewise if you are given the OKEY DOKE; you don’t have to accept it and
you don’t have to make a scene. Just
walk away - and ‘let God deal with them accordingly”.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to
make it a power-packed GREAT day! Don’t be distracted: stay focused on your
purpose! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
