Are a believing Christian? Do you feel cheated because you are saved ? A few Christians in some cases feel they are missing something because they are saved . This I ascribe to lack of knowledge, because when you know your identity in Christ, you will be on top always.
1 Peter 2:9 KJV
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Matthew 12:50 KJV
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
How will you feel knowing that you are the child of your boss, or the president's child, or the king's child? Take some time and consider the benefits you would enjoy and after that imagine you as a child of the God Almighty God (the overall Boss).
Numerous Christians have not understood this reality, that you are the overall Boss son or daughter! You are a royal priesthood, His own special person and the apple of His eyes, (Deuteronomy 32:10, Zechariah 2:8). God’s people are truly destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). When you understand who you are in Christ, your response to things and circumstances will be different.

Jesus said that once you are doing the will of God, you are His brother or sister or mother, which implies the AUTHORITY He has you additionally have. IT IS TRUE . The problem a some Christians have is that they don't trust it and they can't imagine it. Note that God says what He means and means what He says.
Elijah walked in this truth. In 1 kings 18:20-40, when there was a challenge amongst Elijah and prophets of Baal, Elijah told God to send fire down so everyone would realize that He is God and him the servant of God and God answered him. Another time in 2 kings 1:1-15,king Ahaziah sent troopers to go and convey Elijah to him.
The first two troop of soldiers went and called him man of God and requesting that he comes down , and Elijah said to them if I be a man of God then let fire descend and consume them and it happened. Additionally, he prayed that there be no rain for three and half years and it happened, and he prayed again and rain descended. He knew the power and authority available to him.
Paul is another example, he shook off a poisonous snake that ought to have killed him and nothing happened (Acts 28:3-6), they stoned him till they thought he was dead yet he just got up and left (Acts 14:19-20), he experienced many things that ought to have cut shirt his life and yet he not die(2 Corinthians 11:22-33).. He exercised his authority over death, to the point he was considering whether to stay on earth or to go (Philippians 1:21-25).
Christ in John 14:12 said that you will do more greater things than He, are you still seeing yourself as a small person? You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you (Philippians 4:13). You can tell any mountain to move and it will move (Mark 11:23), cast out devils and they will obey you, trample on serpents and drink any deadly thing by mistake and nothing will happen to you (Mark 16:17-18), seek first the kingdom of God and every other thing will be added to you (Matthew 6:33)Do you see your worth as a Christian Can you boldly declare your stand for God now?
No amount of money or worldly or evil power is worth your position as a child of God. As a child of God, you are seated in heavenly places far above them all (Ephesians 2:5-6, Ephesians 1:20-21). You have a lot to gain here on earth and afterwards eternal life (Mark 10:30).
What is missing
Lack of knowledge of God's word, unbelief and uncertainty are the little foxes stealing your inheritance in Christ. You need to set aside a few minutes for God and His words and spend time in prayer. What you sow you reap, the more time you go spend with God, the a greater amount of Him you will find in your life. The people who serve the devil set aside a few minutes for him; otherwise, they won't get what they need from him. Some Christians have enabled the adversary(enemy) to keep them far from what will empower them to overcome. God is a the se yesterday, today and forever. What He did with and for others, He will Also do for you
