Kings and Priests on Assignment For Jesus
God is balanced .He says he has made us Christians Kings and priests, so that we will not be too involved in occupying for him here, without being relevant to the kingdom and heaven connected . In whatever calling we are in. whatever our purposes in life , so far we are Christians we are titled as kings and priests.
On the other hand God does not want us to be heaven connected to the intent that we lose our earthly relevance to occupy for him. The main problem in the body of Christ is lack of this balance .There are some in the church who are so religious and who see themselves solely as priests that they stop claiming the promises of God here on earth , They stop fulfilling the purpose of God for their lives, they begin to float through life “ On their way to heaven” ,They show mediocrity in all they do at work , in their personal lives and in the world as a whole. Yes we are in this world but not of the world, however we have assignments to the world . Jesus said "Go ye into the world and make disciples" to the apostles. Even if you are not a preacher, you still have a peculiar calling to be the light of the world.As christians we are to live. I have seen so called Christians who exist but never live life to the full, there is no light, the life of Christ which is the light of men is absent. They are still living in darkness. {Remember Jesus came to give us life in abundance] a life with nothing missing.
When you come around such religious Christians you must walk on tiptoes, they know what you should be eating in your house, how you should eat it. Everything is about methodology and systems; nothing is about liberty and relationship. Such people are in a box and they will try to box you too except you realise that they need help. And try to help them without being entangled.
On the other hand the Kings who reject the balance of priesthood, live careless lives. They feel the freedom they have in Christ is licentious to do whatever they like. They refuse to spend time with God and minister to him , they refuse to walk with God and be Holy as He is Holy.When the fall short doing things like lying and sins not unto death , they do no t cry at their f ailings and try to live to a higher standard . They are insensitive to sin. They are only interested in using Gods authority to occupy and take dominion and have the kingdom come in their lives. They claim the promises of God for their selfish needs , they pray for their lives to testify to the awesomeness and the riches and the glory of Gods grace towards those who believe. Yet because they are not connected with God , they are like the children of Israel in the Promised Land. God provided for them, their shoes did not wear nor did their clothing. Yet they never entered the Promised Land.
We are called to be kings and priests that we may reign in life. Possessing our possessions, walking in Holiness, enjoying divine protection as we abide in the shadow of the almighty and carrying out Gods assignment .
I pray that the church will stop being open to satanic attacks , AS WE STAY IN THE SHADOW OF THE ALMIGHTY , I PRAY THAT WE WILL START SUBMITTING TO GOD , SO WE CAN RESIST THE DEVIL. I PRAY THAT WE WILL BECOME KINGS AND PRIEST SO WE CAN OCCUPY FOR JESUS, SO WE CAN BEGIN TO BIND AND LOOSE ON EARTH , AND SO THAT WE CAN SEE GODS WILL HAPPENING HERE ON EARTH AS IT IS BEING DONE IN HEAVEN .
Our generation is waiting for us . We are the enforcers of Gods will. We are the ones to manifest, Satan is in opposition to Gods kingdom coming and Gods will being done. Satan’s ministry is to kill , steal and destroy.
His ultimate assignment is to destroy. The Lord showed me how satan does this. He does this by making people bow down to sin, sickness, poverty, and disease or any other weapon he is using. He overwhelms them with such conditions , he pulverises them under its weight until they are overwhelmed and dwell in a pit.
To destroy means to keep in a pit , to be bowed down , to wallow in a pit, to be kept down, to pulverise , to obliterate , to keep completely submerged in darkness. . Satan uses events, people and mankind own flesh to destroy. Please watch out for relationships that mock you , say you can't do it , claim you are proud for walking in Gods ordained purpose and those who are trying to submerge you . Davids wife who mocked him was such a relationship. Joshua was toldby God that the 1st qualification for godly leadrship is to be strong and courageous because people kept Moses out of his destiny. Moses's leadership was weakened by people , likekorah and abiram and their company , even his brother and sister, said he is proud , they said "Is he the only one God talks to"? .Brethren many destinies , visions , callings have been destroyed by Satan using people around such people to steal their strength and courage and to overwhelm them to an intent that they get submerged .If Joshua left his position and calling and allowed people to crowd in on him as they did to Moses , he too would not have lead the people of Israel to the promised land. Rather ,because he was a strong leader not once was there rebellion under his watch[ meanwhile it was a usual occurrence under Moses}. He was strong and courageous and he got the job done. Not for him or his sake, but for God and the people he was assigned to.
Today the lord will restore all we could have lost in time of weakness, submersion in Jesus name. My prayer is that what the devil has destroyed in our lives family and our generation we will arise as kings and priests and cooperate with God to restore .
To restore means to ascend , arise , fetch back, to retrieve to return and to rescue. God wants to make us recover , he wants us to retrieve all that is lost and stolen and destroyed, He wants us to rise up again. Psalm 107;20says he sent his words and healed them from their destructions. God said in Hosea 4;6 “ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge .Today the word will lift you out of the pit , the knowledge of God will illuminate your heart and deliver you from destruction in Jesus name.
The main area we can operate as kings and priests in life in this generation is to connect with heaven , abide under Gods shadows as priests , receive the power of the Holy Spirit and pray as well as manifest to let the kingdom of God come here on earth, so we can begin to recover all that has been destroyed. . As God uses us to display the glory and the riches of his grace ,as we rule as kings , we must tell people about God , rescue our lives , families and generation from destruction and the overwhelming forces of sins , disease , and poverty. We must retrieve and recover and restore by the word of God , we must see people , our destinies , our visions , our riches , our wealth and all that was destroyed rise up again as Ezekiel saw the dried bones arise from that valley.
This is our time .The lord laid in my heart that this is the time the church has been waiting for. The eco nomic crises will be very very bad .This is when we will know those who are reigning in life by the power of the holy spirit and those who where living by the world system which is collapsing .
All that is happening is a tool in Gods hands . To make people more reliant and dependent on him , The time of the end time revival is now . A revival is coming, all nations will come[run] to the mountain of the Lord . That is where they will find the New Wine. That is what will assuage them. The world is passing away with its glories , its dazzles and all its lusts . The Lord laid in my heart that the glory of the world has peaked , from now it is a downward turn. To try to save this trend Nations will form several associations and alliances etc. But very very tough times are ahead .It is only the priests and kings that will manifest at this time . It will be so glaring what is happening that persecution will result for the church from this .We are in the beginning of the end time .The time to reach our generation is short . We must start allying Gods kingdom in heaven with what is happening here on earth. This is our calling , this is our goal , we have the re sources as kings and priest to finish the job,
What is our responsibility?
Since we know that we are kings, rulers, governors , administrators for God we must recognize we have duties to do , because there is another force working for destruction , death and darkness and we are working for light, restoration and life. We must submit to God as priests and resist the devil like kings. We must be in charge and rule by decree . We have the tools of the word of God to bind and disallow or loose and allow . We are more than conquerors through Christ who strengthen us .In the battles of the opposing sides
How can we carry out our assignments; We carry out our assignment by attaining our own destiny and not being destroyed or sub merged and overwhelmed by sin, sickness , darkness and poverty. We carry out our assignments to restore our families, generation and friends to God. So they can arise again, be retrieved and recovered. The how of this is by Prayers.
1. Prayers. Jesus said in Mathew 7;7-8 ask you will receive , seek you will find, knock and the door will be open progression , ask , seek , Knock. We must pray in progressive intensity , remember the parable of thejudge and the persistent widow, . Perseverance and fervency in prayers avails much and always brings result. .
Jeremiah 33;3 says Call upon me and I will show you great and mighty things to come,
I john 5;14-1614 And we can be confident that he will listen to us whenever we ask him for anything in line with his will. 15 And if we know he is listening when we make our requests, we can be sure that he will give us what we ask for.
Psalms 55;16-23.But I will call on God,and the Lord will rescue me.
17 Morning, noon, and night ,I plead aloud in my distress,
and the Lord hears my voice.18 He rescues me and keeps me safe
from the battle waged against me, even though many still oppose me.
19God, who is king forever, will hear me and will humble them.
For my enemies refuse to change their ways;
they do not fear God.2As for this friend of mine, he betrayed me;
he broke his promises21His words are as smooth as cream,
but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion,
but underneath are daggers!22Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
23But you, O God, will send the wicked down to the pit of destruction.
Remedy to coming out of that pit and being rescued, restored, arising again retrieved, is hearing the sent word to deliver from destruction, deciding to follow knowledge and calling upon God. Receive the word then pray immediately ,call on the Lord, David, Jeremiah,, john and Jesus in the above scriptures mentioned calling upon God as the key to restoration.
