It’s easy to imagine being a king with the privilege and honor of
establishing and creating things for God’s glory. It’s a little harder to
imagine being a priest because that involves sacrifice.
.
Believers are called to be living sacrifices who daily take up their cross to follow Christ. This unique privilege of being both a king and a priest explains the dominion and authority invested in humans.
.
As a
king, you are empowered to go into the world and establish the Father’s kingdom
and take authority over everything that opposes itself to God and His order. As
a priest, you are equipped to take the elements you establish and offer them
back to God as an offering. You are a blood-bought child of the living God who
is anointed to serve the King of Kings, searching for His lost sheep and
bringing them back to Him as an offering.

“You have made us kings and priests
unto our God; and we shall reign on the earth.” - Revelation 5:10
The authority invested in you as a son or
daughter of the most high God is expressed in two dimensions: king and priest.
It’s not too difficult to imagine being a
king (or queen). After all, we find the idea of power, prestige, and authority
extremely appealing.
This kingly aspect of humanity exists by
divine design and is established in the opening chapter of the Bible when God
determines to make mankind in His image and likeness and let them have dominion
(Genesis
1:26).
King David
describes humanity as “crowned” with
glory and honor and says, “You have given
him dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his
feet …” (Psalm
8:6).

Are you ready to use the authority that
belongs to you?
You are a blood-bought child of the living
God who is anointed to serve the King of Kings, searching for His lost sheep
and bringing them back to Him as an offering.
When you do, you fulfill the apex of all
Christian endeavor by placing the jewel of a soul in the crown of our Savior,
so the Lamb that was slain might receive the reward of His suffering.
This is how you reign on earth!
As believers, we are called to be living
sacrifices to follow Christ. I pray that today you make a sacrifice.
Whether it be big or small. No sacrifice
goes unnoticed to the Lord.
I urge you today to think of something you
can sacrifice unto the Lord.
To show your devotion to Him as a believer.
Amen.
