Who Are Your Really - Kings and Priests

Today’s Focus: Who Are You Really? Pt 1: Kings and Priests
Scripture: Exodus 19:5; 1 Peter 2:9; Genesis 1:26

Greetings Kingdom Citizens:
This might be the most important foundation you will need to understand how to operate in the Kingdom of God. You must first have an identity. Many of us are living up to what man calls you and not who God called you to be. So if you know who you are and think that way, then you become that way. Here is what God called you. So one of titles you have is King and Priest. Now the important thing is not to separate the two and you will see later why. Now let’s look at these two sets of scriptures:

Exodus 19:5 – Kingdom of Priests
First you have to break them apart to see how they work together. A Kingdom is the governing influence of a KING over DOMain impacting it with His Will. So, the Lord said if you keep my covenant you will be a KINGDOM of Priests. So your job is the set the standard (King) for the Earth (Domain) and impact it with God’s Will. Now a King has dominion or royal power over the territory. God gave Earth to His children to have dominion over it (Genesis 1:26). So in turn we should set the standard (King) and have royal power (Dominion) to subdue it and control it. Now for the Priests. A priest is the spiritual representative of God on Earth. Are we not all spiritual representatives of God on Earth. Now Here is the connection!

Look back at Adam in the Garden. Adam had no man to rule over him on Earth, so Adam was a King on Earth. Adam was also the spiritual representative of God on Earth, so Adam was a priest. Now does it make sense! That is why God said, I will make you a Kingdom of Priest and a Holy Nation! Let’s look at the second scripture!

1 Peter 2:9 – Royal Priesthood
Now this is new testament of course and God still calls you a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation! Look at the words! Royal is King! Priesthood is Priest or spiritual. Need I say any more!

In closing this is how God wants His Kingdom of Priests to work! Please pay attention:

God wants you (Priests) to set the standard (King) on Earth (Domain) by impacting (Dominion) it with God’s Will.
