GLORIOUS GRACE! - 62

1Peter 2:9 - But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people

God calls us “a royal priesthood”. This means that we are kings as well as priests under the king-priesthood of Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, kings and priests were two distinct groups of people. You were either a king or priest, but not both at the same time.

Today, because we are in Christ, we are king-priests—a royal priesthood. This means that we have a double portion of speaking power, because as kings, “the word of a king is powerful…” (Ecclesiastes 8:4), and as priests, “pronounce blessings in the name of the LORD, and by their decision all cases of dispute and assault shall be settled.” (Deuteronomy 21:5)

As a "king-priest" parent, when you bless your children, your words have the power to set in motion supernatural events which will bring them into God’s abundance and overflowing grace that will empower them to win the battles of life!

So when the devil puts thoughts in you saying that you will fall sick, or that you will never be successful, you must remember that the devil is neither a king nor a priest. There is no power in his words. But there is power in yours because you are a king-priest in Christ!

So instead of agreeing with him, believe and declare the Word of God against him (Ps 91; Joshua 1:8, etc).

Thought for the day!
You have a double portion of speaking power because you are a king as well as a priest in Christ Jesus. Use your double portion of speaking power and see the blessings come to pass!
