Rule

Jesus has given us the right to rule. Revelation 1:5-6: “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. 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 him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”  Kings rule. The Word says God has made us kings and priests, not that He is going to make us. He has already made us; He is not trying to. And if He says He has made us so, then it applies to us now and it remains that way. Jesus has made you a king.

You are a king; it doesn’t matter what you look like physically, you’re still a king anyhow. If you are asked: “Where is your crown?” Say, “I will show you when I talk.” What do I mean? You do not know kings only by their crowns, for there are many impostors. You know kings by what happens when they talk. Let me give you an example.

Let’s suppose you go to an office and you meet a small-statured man, dressed in an ordinary suit. Presently, you don’t know who he is and, really, you don’t care to know because he doesn’t look like the boss. So you greet him with less regard than you would the boss. Then in comes another gentleman, this time much bigger in stature and well-dressed and you think he is a very important person there. Although, he is not the Chief Executive, you greet him, “Good morning sir” in a very smart and respectful manner. Then he asks you to sit and wait for the boss to see you. Now, imagine that while you’re sitting there wondering who the CEO is, the small-statured man suddenly emerges from a door, snaps his fingers at the big gentleman and says, “Hey you, come in here.” then you know who really is the boss.

After seeing the alacrity with which the big gentleman responds, it immediately dawns on you who really is boss. The next time you see that small man, you will greet him with all due respect because you now know who He is. This tells you that it is not in the size or material possession, but it is in what happens when you talk.

Ecclesiates 8:4;
“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, what doest thou?”

You are a king, therefore, power is released when you talk. That means you must be careful to say the right things. That is why Jesus in Mark 11:23 said: “For verily, I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
He did not say, “Whosoever says about the mountain.” He said, ‘Whosoever says unto the mountain.’ It is time to rule as a king. It is time to reign in life over circumstances, sickness, lack, and poverty, as God purposed for us.
