Kings & Priests —p1

Devotional

“And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:10

What a glorious reality! Jesus called us out of darkness not simply to walk alone, but to walk together, as His people, His royal priesthood. We’ve been brought into a kingdom, a family, a holy nation with a divine mandate to reign and represent Him right here on earth. Through Christ, we have been brought into the fullness of our divine calling. We have become a royal priesthood, a people filled with purpose, crowned with authority, and empowered to represent our King on earth. This is more than a future hope—it is our present identity and mission.

As His chosen people, we are formed into a powerful Body where each person carries value, purpose, and a supply of strength for the whole. When we function together, the Church reveals the fullness of God’s intention. Each gift, each voice, each heart matters. Our unity creates an atmosphere where heaven’s power flows and Christ is glorified.

The calling to reign flows best in community. True spiritual authority blossoms when hearts are aligned, when faith is shared, and when lives are laid down in love for one another. There is incredible joy in belonging, in building, and in walking out our calling side by side. When the Church lives as one, the world sees Jesus clearly.

As priests, we minister to God through worship, intercession, and consecrated living. As kings, we carry spiritual authority, promote justice, and extend the culture of God’s Kingdom wherever we go. These two roles are beautifully integrated, reflecting both intimacy with God and impactful leadership in the world. Our priesthood fuels our reign, and our kingship flows from our devotion.

Christ has entrusted His Church with a sevenfold inheritance—power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory, and blessing. (Revelation 5:10-12). These are treasures from His victory, now released to His people. Power equips us to fulfil His mission. Riches enable generous service. Wisdom provides clarity in every decision. Strength sustains us through every challenge. Honour reveals our divine identity. Glory carries His presence. And blessing empowers us to be a blessing to nations.

Everything we’ve received is designed for shared impact. These gifts build up the Body and shine Christ’s light across the earth. The more we walk in unity, the more His fullness is revealed through us. Together, we are equipped. Together, we are radiant. Together, we are victorious. It is God’s divine plan for us to reign with Him—both now in this present age and in the age to come. (Romans 5:17, Revelation 5:10; 20:4.)

Each step we take in unity prepares us for the greater reign to come. Our present faithfulness shapes our future authority. Those who joyfully walk in their calling now will share in Christ’s eternal reign with increasing glory. This life is the training ground of eternity—and what a joy to grow, serve, and reign together.

So let’s move forward with courage and joy. Let the Church rise in love, walk in power, and overflow with grace. Every member carries something sacred. Every gathering creates a dwelling place for God’s presence. Together, we are His expression on the earth—a royal priesthood, shining with purpose, filled with His Spirit, and reigning in life through Jesus Christ.
