A dead Gog Mentality!

 

Mephibosheth bowed to David again and said, “You are being very kind to me, your servant! And I am no better than a dead dog!” 2 Samuel 9:8

A Dead-Dog Mentality Mephibosheth was born into royalty as the grandson of King Saul. But after his father, Jonathan, and Saul were killed in battle, he was crippled in an accident and ended up living for many years in the slums of Lo-Debar, one of the poorest cities of that day. Mephibosheth let the bad breaks in his life define his identity, forgot who he was, and saw himself as no better than a dead dog. He would have lived his entire life in defeat and lack if David hadn’t brought him to live in the palace and restored all that belonged to his grandfather. You may have been through disappointments and feel like a victim, unworthy, not valuable, undeserving, at a disadvantage. But you have to get rid of that dead-dog mentality. The King of kings is looking to bring you to the palace and restore all that belongs to you as His child. He’s coming to remind you that you have royalty in your blood and a crown of favor on your head. Start having a child-of-the-King mentality. You are worthy, valuable, forgiven, blessed, and victorious.

A Prayer for Today “Father, thank You for being my Father and breathing Your life into me. Help me to quit believing the lies that say I am a victim and unworthy of Your blessings. I believe and declare that I am a child of the Most High God and that I’m stepping up to live in the palace. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
