[The Glory Unveiled]
And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. [ Revelation 5:10 KJV ]
When we fulfill our duties as kings and priests unto God, the result is a life of dominion and power. We reign on earth when we exercise the power of our positions in Christ. Our position has both a kingly element and a priestly role. When we operate as kings, we exert the authority of God over the earth. However, this is only made possible when we first exercise our priestly responsibility. As priests, we connect with heaven to download the will of God for ourselves and our communities. The priestly office gives us the opportunity to interact with our heavenly Father on a moment-by-moment basis. That’s why nothing happens without our permission as priests. “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets” (Amos 3:7). We receive readings of events and seasons in our office as king priests. God will show us what is yet to happen when we position ourselves in our places of responsibility. With that knowledge, we rule and reign in our world. Nothing takes us by surprise as we are equipped with ancient wisdom—knowledge from another realm. The believer reigns when they occupy their office as kings and priests unto God. Then, our lives begin to mirror our priesthood. As our priesthood is, so are our lives. If you want a better outcome for your life, improve on your intimacy and waiting in the presence of God because as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17). As we are in our priesthood offices before God, so will our earthly lives be.
