Revelation 5:9-10 NKJV
“You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
In this message we will be discussing man's new position after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. I believe that many think that they only became forgiven sinners once they make Jesus their Lord. However we will see that we got far more than just forgiveness! Thank God for forgiveness, but if we only think we are forgiven sinners then we will likely do less than is expected of us in this life and on this earth!
We can see above that the blood of Jesus redeemed every tribe, every tongue, all people and all nations. There is not a person that the blood of Jesus can not redeem from sin. His blood is for whosoever! And though we could spend a lot of time rejoicing over this truth, the scripture tells us that this is not the only thing that the blood of Jesus has done for us.
We see that the same blood that redeemed us also has made us kings and priests unto our God! I like to say that the blood of Jesus has redeemed you and it has kinged you! Jesus is called the King of kings and now we can see that we are the kings that he is King of! Thank God for the blood of Jesus. It has not only washed away our sins, but once that sin was removed and the blood was applied to our lives we were brought into the family of God as kings, actual royalty!
When were you made a king? When the blood was applied to your life!
Since we are now made kings, we continue to read and see that we are to reign ON EARTH! We must not put off our reigning as something we will do after we die and enter into heaven. Yes, heaven will be awesome, but we are to enjoy heaven on earth. Jesus said your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
How will you reign on earth? Being mindful of what the blood actually accomplished in your life! A lack of knowledge in this area will keep you from ruling and reigning on this earth. A limited knowledge of the blood of Jesus will only result in limited results in this life. The enemy will do all that he can do to make you think that you are simply a sinner that has been granted forgiveness, but you, how could you possess the power to rule and reign in life.
Reign: dominating power or influence, royal authority, one in control.
You may not be a king to anyone else around you. Your family may not see you as royalty. Your old classmates may not see you as royalty. Your neighbor or your boss may not realize that you are royalty, but UNTO GOD you are a king, a royal priesthood, a holy nation. If God sees you as a king, then I believe it would be just fine for you to see yourself as a king! Do not listen to religion and what it calls you! If God said it that should settle it forever in your heart. You should go ahead and say it now, "Unto God I am a king! No longer am I just a forgiven sinner! If God sees me as a king, then I see me as a king!"
Leaving the state of sinner and moved into the classification of KING!
Kings Reign! Kings dominate! Kings take dominion! Kings exert influence! Kings take control!
