Put Up Your Royal Behaviour – Fred Obetoh

Royal behaviour can be termed as regal, ability for one to carry oneself in dig iry and with respect. This particular behaviour is not found in commoner but exclusively a kingly and queenly people. Christians have been told that they are kings and queens. in 1st Peter 1 versus 9, The Bible was clear on the position of Christian which is of Royal Priesthood.

Christians must know that they are not of this world, today’s world is corrupt and perilous. A true Christian must know that the world is transient and not meant for us . Know this and know peace. in 2nd Corinthians 6 versus 14- 18 is clear on our association as a Christian and those of the world. The verse is so clear on how we should conduct and comport ourselves when we are with unbelievers.

In proverbs 1 verse 10 said the same thing on our association with the unbelievers. The Bible said that we shouldn’t fall into the enticement of sinners. it is clear and that is a blueprint of royal behaviour. We must carry ourselves with dignity and know that we are a choose people.

In Proverbs 31 Vs 1 talked about the counsel of a king on how to behave and the king is talking about the son whom he has dedicated. So as a Christian, you must know that if you are a dedicated Christian there are certain things you can’t do, certain places you can be and certain people you can’t be around with. In this passage the passage said that one shouldn’t spend their time with women of easy virtue tagging it as a royal pathway to destruction! These are blueprint to Royal Behaviour and Bible encouraged us to align with God’s mandates.

In the book of Proverbs, there are things that was laid down and there are things we must avoid , if you are to be a king avoid hard liquors and women! If you are God’s representative, there are things that you shouldn’t do and Bible is clear about these.

A true Christian doesn’t dress anyhow, you don’t see a Christian child sagging trousers etc. You see them in universities sagging away their lives and dressing anyhow! That isn’t a Royal Behaviour! Decency is part of royal behaviour and it is expected that all Christians must comply.

Dressing well as a Christian should be part of our culture, in today’s world you see girls virtually naked, a true Christian lady shouldn’t do that! Why bring out or showcase your decency outside, dress decently as a lady and you will get appreciated.Every Christian lady must understand this.

Many Christians have watered down the Bible and they can’t say the truth or the fact, today, it is rare for some pastors to take a stand in contentious issues such as homosexualities, lesbianism etc. Now training the kids in the way Bible stated is becoming herculean for many Christians. That is not a Royal Behaviour! We must train our kids in the way of the lord.

The reason why many of us are having issues is that we take our eyes away from God! Fashionista, that is another place that we loose it as a Christian, how can you dress shabby and nasty and think that you are on the path of Royal Behaviour, you dress decently and properly…. you don’t dress to kill,you aren’t a murderer! you are a child of God please, dress well!

Discipline starts from home then to school, but today many parents have changed this conversation, when their wards are disciplined they would come fighting and firing from all cylinders! That isn’t royal behaviour! that is madness! that is unchristian like.

So, as Christian, we must look unto God and have a clear understanding of what God wants and then follow him religiously. We understand that it is difficult to parent now, it is difficult to be different in today’s perilous and contentious world! We must be focused and act like Royal people because we are of Royal Priesthood!
