KING UNTO GOD

MEMORISE: ‘And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of this words fall to the ground.’ (1 sam 3;19)
READ: revelation 1: 4- 6

'And hath made us kings and priest unto god and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen’ (Rev 1:6). If you have given your life t Christ, whether you know it or not, you automatically become a special person to God. 1 peter 2:9 says you are part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood and a holy nation. You are no more ordinary because the blood o Jesus flows through you. ‘That which is born of flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit’ (John 3:6).

Since you have undergone a spiritual birth, you have some semblance with the Spirit. He deposits his seed in you, which makes you a stranger to the sins you once practiced. Now Jesus has made you a king under his Father. Kings rule by decree. They are the heads. Kings have royalty. If you believe this, prove it in your attitude to life.

Some believers live apologetically. They are beggarly, tossed to and fro by every situation that comes across their paths. Any problem that comes makes them panic and threaten to quit the faith. Such have not learned what it means to live as a king.

King do not talk in vain. When they do, their word is law. One person who reigned like a king an was in control was Elijah. In 1 Kings 17:1, he decreed that there should be no rain for three-and-a-half years, and so it was. Do you undersand the implication of that? Drought, starvation, famine and all kinds of evil resulted because of a single decree.

You too can start to rule by decree from today. Bind the demons on assignment against you and your family. Decree that your business will be 100 times better than it was last year. Decree that if promotion will come for one person in your workplace, it is to you. Carry yourself like the king you are. Do not use your tongue to say what will not befit a king. Let your words be few.

ACTION POINT
You have been destined for greatness. How do you live-
like a king or as a subject? Make sure that you chose right.
