Unto
him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made
us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to glory and dominion for ever
and ever Amen (Revelation 1:5-6).
Once
it dawns on your spirit that as a child of God you’re a king and not a
helpless, needy pauper, it will completely change the way you live. It reminds
me of what the Bible says about David, that it dawned on him that the Lord had
established him King over Israel long after he had been made king (2 Samuel
5:12). How come the realization didn’t dawn on him until then?
So,
it’s got to dawn on you today that God has made you a king. You ought to live
everyday with a kingly consciousness. First, as a king, you must get rid of all
beggarly prayers; pray as the king that you are—kings don’t beg—they make
decrees. That means your prayer-life should be full of worship, praise,
intercession and declarations of faith. You have to learn to give instructions
to your angels to move on your behalf, and exercise authority and dominion over
the devil and the negative forces of life when you pray.
Secondly,
learn to walk as a king; don’t walk in a slouching manner, with your shoulders
down, head bent, foot-dragging like a defeated person. Hold your head up high;
square your shoulders and walk with dignity. Also, learn to dress as a king.
Even if all you had were just two shirts, keep them clean, iron them neatly;
comb your hair, polish your shoes and look neat. Always wear the appearance of
the king that you are.
Finally,
talk as a king! Kings know that their words aren’t empty and so they mind what
they say. Your words are backed with power; they contain inherent dynamic
ability to change any situation and put the devil to flight. Therefore
brethren, be bold to speak in line with God’s Word. Be bold to make decrees,
because whatever you decree shall be established unto you. Meditate on this and
let this consciousness fill your spirit. Praise the Lord!
