Spiritual Dignity

And formed us into a kingdom (a royal race), priests to His God and Father – to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion throughout the ages and forever and ever. Amen. – Rev 1:6 (AMP).

The Bible says in Rev 5:10 that Jesus our Lord has made us “Kings And Priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

Being Born Again is more than just an altar-call decision. It’s a total change of your identity and nature. Your spirit was re-created in Christ, you were given a new nature and, yes, you were given a new status: You are now a King, and you are now a Priest.

As king, it means you’re a ruler, a chief or a royal even here on earth. It means you should essentially see yourself as leader wherever you are.

It therefore behoves us to act out this privileged status of ours in our speech, our character and our actions.

In 1Cor 6:3 the Apostle Paul chided members of the church who were litigating one another in secular courts and told them such behaviour was beneath the status of people who would one day judge angels!

In the same vein, because scriptures is replete with promises of a time of reigning to all saints (Mt 19:28; Lk 22:29-30; 2Ti 2:12; Rev 3:21; 5:10; 20:5; 22:5), we ought to live in a way that reflects that truth.

You’re a King, Beloved, act and live like one. 

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
