Reign As King on Earth

‘ And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.’
– Revelations 5:10

 

God has made us King…
… and we shall reign on earth. 

Who is a king? One meaning reads:… a person or thing regarded as the finest or most important in their sphere or group. One with authority, an authority that is superior and produces a result.

What does it mean to reign? Here is a meaning I find so powerful… (of a quality or condition) be the dominant feature of a situation or place. To exhibit authority and leadership over.

Here is the transaction that happened when you accept Jesus as Lord and saviour: You are moved from ordinary to extraordinary, from common to the most important, from ruled to ruler, from being dominated to being dominant.

That is really what awesome looks like! 

In the old times, kings were like gods. Remember King David, King Nebuchadnezzar, King Herod, Emperor Caesar, Emperor Nero, Napoleon… powerful, full of authority.

They governed by decrees, they were fully responsible for what happened in their domain. The expanse and strength of the kingdom are directly proportional to the capacity and strength of the king.

In this democratic age, the closest form to a king is the President. He is the commander-in-chief. Once elected, his/her action or inaction determines the fate of millions of people in the state.

The bible says we have been made kings… to reign on earth. That means once we come into Christ, we are born into royalty. It is both amazing and humbling at the same time. 

This is who we are… kings! 

Maybe you don’t feel like one. It’s not a feeling, it is a belief, a mindset. It is who God says you are. 

But….? But what! Your belief will shape your reality. Don’t overthink it! Simply believe and agree with God on who he says you are, then other things will follow. 

It is no joke that God is called King of kings!

This kingship is not characterized by arrogance or physical show of affluence like the world leadership does. This kingship is epitomized by Jesus’ life on earth.

He lived with so much humility, love and God-mindedness and still walked in incontrovertible authority, influence and impact.  Nothing happened to him by accident or surprise. He lived with clarity and focus, yet was approachable and friendly. He reigned, not with coercion or force, but with truth and the spirit. 

You too are anointed like Jesus, let this kingship grace find expression in you today and always. In all your ways, stay tuned and connected in the spirit to the Holy Spirit of God, the King of kings, and you will exercise authority and dominion in your sphere of influence. 

Let Us Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for translating me into your kingdom. Thank you for making me a king and priest unto you. I receive the grace to think and live like your king. I shall reign on earth to your glory.

I declare that the days of my life, I shall fulfill. I declare that in my generation, the Purposes of God shall not be stopped. 

Lord, by Your Spirit, I move against every opposing spirit or human systems, warring against my soul, and I conquer them. All vices and compromises are broken off my life in Jesus’ name! I refuse to settle. I shall not be contained.

This is my day of progress and of possessing new territories for Jesus, my King! 

In Jesus’ Name, all my needs are fully met by the LORD my God! And His Plan for my Divine provision [Food, Clothes, Shelter, etc] is also now fully activated.

In Jesus’ Name, I pray, Amen

Praying in the Spirit for 30 minutes (Take out some more time to pray more in the cause of the day or night)
