Memorise: And hast made us unto our God kings and Priests: and we shall
reign on the earth. Revelations 5:10
The problem with many believers is that they find it difficult to believe
what the scripture says about them. We allow the devil to convince us, telling
us that we are not as qualified as God says we are, and that we do not have the
ability to do what the Word says we can do. God created us in His own image and
gave us the ability to reign on earth. The capabilities and qualities required
for us to exercise our priesthood were also given to us. However, many people
are not exercising their positions as priests because they do not believe they
are priests. They allow the opinions of others to determine how they live; they
do not have minds of their own. People commit suicide on a daily basis because
they know so little about themselves; they have no idea who they really are. As
a child of God, you need to know that every word said about you in the Bible is
ever dependable and reliable. It doesn’t matter the circumstances surrounding
you at any given time, you must always see yourself as God sees you. Always see
yourself in a positive light. Like David, encourage yourself in the Lord no
matter what happens. Every morning when you rise up, know that you are a victor
and not a victim; there is much more to you than you can see. There is much
more to you than you can see. The Israelites saw themselves as grasshoppers
before the giants, but in the mind of God the opposite was the case.
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:” Proverbs 23:7a
The perception of who you are is crucial to your walk with God. As a royal
priesthood, you are an embodiment of beauty, power and royalty. You are an
epitome of God’s glory. You are created in the very image and likeness of God.
All things created, visible and invisible are under your feet. This is why you
need to take your place and not allow your life to be ruined by the devil.
Note however, that you do not have this right and liberty to reflect the
image of God anywhere you are, if you haven’t given your life to Christ.
Holiness must be a daily lifestyle to you. The nature of royalty as given to
you by God must reflect in your appearances and discussion. You can no longer
hate those who hate you; you have to show love and forgiveness to those who
deliberately do things to hurt you. You have to do according to the instructions
in Philippians 4:8: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lonely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there
will be any virtue, and if there will be any praise, think on these things.”
It is when you do this constantly that you can become a partaker of the
covenant privileges.
Prayer Point: Father, please let your glory never depart from me.
Bible in one year: Joshua 22, Job 38:12-24
