The chosen ones are marked by rejection, this is why they are different, this is why they don’t belong in the usual places.
The world rejects them because they carry conviction.
The religious reject them because they carry fire and many churches cannot hold them because they carry a standard that exposes compromise.
Their very presence is a rebuke, not because they judge others but because they refuse to bow.
The won’t bow to popularity.
They won’t bow to trends.
They won’t bow to systems that have left Jesus outside.
In the Bible we are said that narrow is the way that leads to life and few find it.
The chosen ones are among the few, not because they are better but because they are broken.
They have counted the cost.
They have lost friends.
They have been called names.
They have stood alone in rooms where others clapped for false fire.
But even when no one else sees them heaven does.
Even when they walk alone they walk with God.
They are not church hoppers.
They are not rebellious.
They are obedient.
They hear a different drumbeat.
They follow a Shepherd who leads them off the beaten path.
They are being led, and the road they walk is not crowded.
Because it is costly.
It is steep.
It is narrow.
But it is the way of the cross.
It is the way of the called.
While others seeks comfort, the chosen seek crucifixion.
While others chase platforms, the chosen embrace hiddenness.
They know to be chosen is not to be celebrated.
It is to be set apart.
Set apart from what is popular.
Set apart from what is common.
Set apart from what is easy.
Set apart from what is accepted in the modern church.
This is why they are not found in every congregation.
This is why you won’t see them shouting in every revival tent.
Because many of those tents have no truth.
Many of those gatherings have no oil.
And the chosen can smell strange fire.
They know when it’s hype and not holiness.
They know when the spirit has left, even if the crowd is still dancing.
In the Bible we are said many are called but few are chosen.
The called hear the invitation but the chosen respond with everything.
They lay it all down.
They lose it all if necessary.
They are not impressed by crowds.
They are not moved by fame.
They would rather be in the wilderness with the presence of God than in the palace without Him.
