Further Reading: 1 Peter 2:9-10
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
1 Peter 2:9 NKJV
MESSAGE
The Bible calls the saint royalty. Since you have been born into God’s family where God is the King of His heavenly kingdom, you are automatically born into a royal family. Do you know that the poorest saint is a co-inheritor with Christ in God’s kingdom?
Why then are you looking down on yourself? What makes you think that because you lack some things on earth you are worthless? Oh, friend, you are not, you are actually a king and all things are yours.
Unfortunately, many saints do not know who they are, they rather go about complaining and grumbling about their problems. Our text of the day says that you are a royal priesthood. Not only are you royalty, but you also belong to the priesthood of Christ.
Do you know that each time you request to heaven, you are entitled to a speedy answer when that thing is God’s will? No unbeliever can get that access. You have that access because you are God’s child. Because of this special status, God said, ask and you will get it, seek and you find, knock and the door will open wide unto you (Matthew 7:7).
In revelations 1:6, the Bible says that through the blood of Jesus, we have been made kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:6 NKJV
Kings decree, but do you as a child of God? The Bible says that you will decree a thing and it shall be established unto you and God’s light will shine upon your ways (Job 22:28). But how often do you decree and it comes to pass? Have you disallowed anything on earth in recent times? Are there no issues confronting your family today because you don’t know your worth and what God has made you in His love?
You must agree with God today and begin to decree about things around you. You must also start to offer the incense of praise and worship unto God in righteousness as a priest unto God.
REFLECTION
And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
Revelation 5:10 NKJV
Are you reigning on earth? Even though this is God’s desire for you, it may not be your reality if you don’t know who you are in God.
PRAYER
Father, I receive the power to reign on Earth in power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost.
