Revelation 5:10 And have made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ, we have been made to be kings (you too ladies). It’s the 21st century and many of us don’t know what it’s like to behave like a king.

A king understands their dominion. In Genesis 1:26, God has given us dominion over all the earth. We have dominion over the economy, animals, crime, the weather, and even time.

Secondly, a king understands their authority in their decree. Job 22:27-28 says, you shall make your prayer unto him, and he shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows. You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established for you: and the light shall shine upon your ways. When kings decree a thing, they don’t question or hope it’s done. They know it’s done because they’re the king. Jesus has paid our vow with His life. Through His blood, we can decree whatever we desire in His name (John 16:23).

Finally, a king does not debate with anyone. After making a decision, a king does not debate about the decision they’ve made. When we’re standing in faith, especially for something big, we don’t need to debate with anyone about what we believe. We don’t need to reduce our faith to the level of common folk.

Now that we have some understanding of our kingly role, let’s behave like kings.
