DIVINE ROYALTY – Monday February 9th 2015

 DIVINE ROYALTY 

Memorise: And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:6

Read: 1^st Samuel 16:1; 11-13; Bible in one year: Jeremiah 37:11-39:18, Acts 22:30-23:11

Prior to the anointing of David as king of Israel in 1^st Samuel 16:11-13, he was ordinary like any other person. But after the anointing came on him, he received supernatural grace to accomplish great things for God. The choice of David was neither an accident nor a coincidence. In 1^st Samuel 13:14, the Bible says this concerning him:

“….the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart…”

This reveals that there was a solemn search that led God to David in the wilderness. Also, in 1^st Samuel 16:7, God said:

“… for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”

It is therefore clear that qualification for divine royalty strictly depends on the condition of a person’s heart towards God.

Divine royalty puts a fellow in the position of authority over all circumstances of life. At the command of a ‘divine royal’ sicknesses, poverty, failure and the demons behind them must bow. The authority, responsibilities and honour attached to divine royalty suggest that a heart focused on God is necessary to be eligible for such high honour and glory. The title “Divine Royalty” is therefore strictly reserved for born-again and sanctified children of God. To this end, Daniel 7:18 reveals that the saints of God shall take and possess the kingdom forever and ever.

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”

1^st Peter 2:9

One thing is sure: a person can only manifest the status of divine royalty if and only if the anointing continues to rest upon him or her. We must note that there are things divine royals cannot do and certain types of relationships they cannot keep. 1^st Corinthians 10:23 says,

“All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.”

As you begin to live according to the high standard of heaven in agreement with the Word of God, may the anointing for divine royalty fall upon you today in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

Action Point

You are a divine royal and a member of God’s royal priesthood; as for grace to live up to expectation today.
