Water Out Of The Rock

 Rocks do not always produce water, after all they are not cactus plants.

Cactus plants are large, spiky, green colored plants often found in arid regions.

They survive without regular watering because they have wide spreading  roots that help them quickly absorb moisture from light and rare desert rainfalls before they evaporate.

Cactuses also act as storage units for water.

In a good number of Hollywood movies, the cactus is portrayed as a plant that can gush out water when pierced with a sharp object like a knife, which the protagonist in western moves drink from as they journey through arid regions or deserts.

While this is not accurate about the cactus plant, it is understandable if people assume or think about it as a plant that gushes out water if cut open.

Visualizing a rock gushing out water is a different matter altogether.

It is a tall order to find a rock or mountain that gushes out water or produces water from within it.

It's miraculous, come to think about it.

Water flowing off rocks is understandable and more realistic, like what we see with waterfalls.

Streams of water flowing, by, over or around rocks is not unusual.

Finding a rock that produces water out of it like a fountain, that gushes out water like a running tap is rather miraculous.

It happened in scriptures.

It is testament to God's miraculous power and ability to create provision out of unlikely sources.

The story is that Moses and the children of Israel during their journey to the promised land needed water, journeying through arid regions naturally got them thirsty.

In a most miraculous way, water gushed out of the rock to satisfy the thirst of the Israelites as Moses followed God's instruction.

They were about three million people according to some Bible scholars.

Their thirst was quenched through water from the rock!

Rocks are hard, stone like, granite like objects.

You can't squeeze a rock and get water out of it!

Only the Creator can do that.

The lesson in drinking water gushing out of the rock to satisfy an entire nation is a miraculous one, a supernatural occurrence that bears witness to the fact that with God all things are possible.

The Lord is able to bring resources, provision and satisfaction out of unlikely places and things.

That rock becoming a source of water shows to us that the Lord can bring fulfilment and satisfaction out of our dry, hard and rocky experiences.

It testifies to God's ability to turn our 'hard places' into areas of fulfilment and provision.

No matter how rocky the situation you're in may be, out of that situation the Lord can bring out 'waters' of satisfaction and fulfillment.

Out of that which doesn't produce came that which refreshes.

Out of what was lifeless and static came out that which is dynamic, in motion and lifegiving!

Water is lifegiving. Living things require water, both plants and animals.

Our earth is refreshed by water, that's why it rains.

Water existed before land.

God brought forth land from the waters.

Our grounds are on water.

Water revives us, keeps us going, refreshes us and stops dehydration.

A rock or mountain gushing out streams of water from within it, is as rare as honey coming out of the carcass of the dead lion Samson killed, a gold coin being found in the mouth of a fish like Peter found, and food supernaturally multiplying like it did at the words of Elijah, Elisha and our Lord Jesus Christ!

The logical thing for Moses and the Israelites to do was to look for streams, the nearest river, pond or fountain.

The sensible thing to do, which most people would think of doing is to endure a little longer and get to the nearest town, village or city to ask for water there.

That was not God's plan.

The ways of the Lord are different to our ways.

It is worth asking the Lord for His ways and His plan.

The instruction He will give us may be unusual, the direction we receive of Him may be uncommon, the His plan may be beyond our understanding but the outcome will be enriching, fulfilling and satisfying.

I lean not unto my own understanding, in all my ways I will commit all things to the Lord and He will direct my path.

What about you?

Out Of The Lion

Lions are mentioned over 150 times in the Bible.

They are one of the most frequently mentioned animals in the scriptures.

Lions are huge majestic cats known for their fierceness and toughness.

Carnivorous and wild, they are beasts capable of feasting on human beings, they are not domestic animals though there are situations where lions are tamed and kept like domestic pets, as exotic pets.

There is no creature human beings have not made an effort to tame.

Defeating and killing a lion was part of David's testimony and qualification to go up against the warrior giant called Goliath.

David didn't see Goliath as any different from the predators he had killed when they came for the sheep he was protecting.

Lions are powerful beasts who hunt, in most scenarios they prevail over men when man and lion come face to face.

David's courageous victories over the bear and the lion, which are strong predators given to killing and destroying is no mean feat, considering David was a teenager of about14 to 16 years old at the time.

What a guy, what a boy! A real wonder boy!

Samson is another figure from the scriptures who killed a lion.

A Nazarene from birth, a man of the covenant and a child of promise he operated in supernatural strength as a gift and covenant from God for a purpose.

Samson didn't just operate in the spirit of might, he was also blessed with the gift of putting forth riddles.

He prevailed over the lion that had roared at him when journeying with his parents to meet the family of the Philistine lady he had fallen in love with and her family.

His parents were not with him at the exact moment it happened.

The spirit of might was at work in Samson, the lion chose the wrong man for a fight, the lion roared at the wrong person. It was a miscalculated move. That lion met its demise.

He killed the lion rather easily without his parents knowing what had happened, he didn't tell them what he had done, it must have been a quick kill!

On their way back home, Samson saw the carcass of the lion he had killed and found honey in it.

The carcass of lions is not where bees would naturally build their hive and produce honey.

Despite that, Samson found honey in the most unlikely place.

He found honey in the enemy that wanted to make a meal out of him.

Samson got a meal out of his enemy instead.

The honey in the carcass of the lion represents Samsons reward for winning the fight.

The honey was Samson's compensation for being roared at.

The honey was Samson's blessing for defeating an enemy.

The honey represents Samson's spoil of war.

The honey symbolizes what is rightfully yours but cannot be reached until you defeat the enemy denying you of what's yours.

The honey is symbolic of satisfaction and fulfilment after winning over a lion of life.

He shared the honey with his parents, but they did not know where he got it from.

The three of them ate and enjoyed the honey.

His parents benefitted from his reward.

Lions are symbolic of enemies, powerful enemies. 

They can be fallen angels, demons, humans, witchcraft, shrines and altars.

Lions can symbolize that which can eat us up.

They can be used to represent problems that are beyond us, challenges that can take us out if not for the Lord's help.

Lions represent that which has an advantage over us, a war or a battle that can potentially unalive us.

There are insights we can glean from the Samson and the lion encounter:-

We need the Lord's Spirit to overcome the lions of life.

We need the Lord's strength to overcome the things, issues and enemies that want to swallow us up.

There are those the lions of life cannot prevail over or defeat because they are chosen, they are individuals of the covenant, and they have been endowed with something extra.

For the battles of life that come against us or roar at us, we can win and our loved ones and family can benefit from our victory too.

Out of our tough battles and warfare sweet rewards can come out of it.

Out of the enemy or enemies that have come against us we can get the spoils of war.

For every battle of life we fight, there must be sweet compensation.

"Out of the eater, something to eat; out of the strong, something sweet"

 

Your Sterling Moment!

When we study the heroes of faith they all accomplished a lot through faith and obtained good reports which we call testimonies.

Testimonies are good news and its part of what the gospel is all about.

These were accomplished through faith.

Each of them had great moments of faith in their life journeys.

However, there are moments that stand out in each individuals life.

I call those moments sterling moments.

Your sterling moment is your golden moment, it is your moment of golden opportunity, achievement, and greatest manifestation.

Your sterling season is your golden season.
Your sterling phase is your golden phase.
Your sterling achievement is your golden achievement, your best or greatest achievement.

Its possible to have a number of moments or an entire season in our lives that stand out as our sterling moment or season, but in most cases there is an occurrence or event that stands out from the others.

Elijah's sterling moment was when he called fire down from heaven.

Nobody has ever done that before, not any mortal man!

Joshua's sterling moment was when he told the sun and the moon to stand still and they obeyed him!

An achievement that's never repeated itself.

Daniel's sterling moment was coming out of the lions den alive.

Few people would survive entering a den of hungry lions especially if they're not their owner or handler.

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego's sterling moment was coming out of the fiery furnace alive.

David's sterling moment was confronting and killing Goliath.

Moses's sterling moment was the parting of the red sea.

Hezekiah's sterling moment was his prayer negotiation with God while facing the wall which led to the extension of his life by fifteen years and victory over his rival enemy king.

Peter's sterling moment was his presence and shadow healing people!

Solomon's sterling moment was discerning who the real mother was between two harlots who fought for the same baby.

Jesus Christ's sterling moment among many was rising from the dead!

In sports, your sterling performances and achievements tend to happen in your prime.
In the world of sports that's how it is but not in the realm of faith and the spiritual.
Faith- we understand it, grow in it, and learn to use it in time.
Being in your prime is an age dependent thing.
But in the things of faith and the Spirit age is not often a factor..
"As your years are, so shall your strength be" is not applicable to sports or the cycle of nature.
That happens only in the realm of faith.

The realm of faith is the realm of exploits.
Your sterling moments, seasons, achievements, phase or days can happen through faith.
Faith connects us to our golden season.
Faith links us to our gold in Christ.

There is gold in your faith, go for gold!
There is gold in your faith and your faith is golden.
Through faith we unlock a golden season of glory.
Through faith we strike it rich in Christ!
Through faith we step into our golden age of kingship, priesthood and leadership!

Faith brings us into our sterling season before God.
By faith we connect to glory, glory is golden!
In glory our needs are met.
In glory there are riches!
Our needs are met according to God's riches in glory.
Faith connects us to those riches in glory in Christ Jesus!
Faith gives us access to the graces, the riches, the gold of God!

Stay in faith, stand in faith, grow in faith.
Act in faith, speak in faith and meditate faith thoughts!
Have faith like gold, for faith is more precious than gold.
Faith is true riches!
Faith attracts grace!
When grace abounds a new season begins.
Grace makes us rich and it is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faith is it!

Faith brings about a sterling season of achievement and opportunities in a human life.
In faith step into a season of great grace and faith like gold!
Heaven wants to manifest your sterling season before the angels of heaven and men of the earth.
Be the one who operates in rich faith, golden faith, shiny faith.
The world is waiting for you.
God would have us become spectacles before men & angels!

What is your sterling moment?

LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL

THE TRUTH, THE LIFE, THE REALITY, THE MOTIVATION AND INSPIRED WISDOM TO MAKE IT TO THE FINISHED LINE

Light is a phenomenon that makes visibility possible, it makes life easier and makes productivity possible through sight.
In a philosophical context, light signifies hope, solutions, clarity, answers, breakthrough, the divine and a way out.
There's no disputing the fact that light is important to life and creation.

Tunnels are also very important in life.
They aid transportation, they enhance commerce and industry.
Philosophically, tunnels represent our journey and our path in life.

Humanity is on a journey, a journey each individual is making.
Life's journey can come with its ups and downs, almost like a rollercoaster.
Life's journey is laced with its great moments, joyful moments, pleasant moments and sometimes tough moments.

The tough moments are dark moments, the down experience of the journey, the tiring phase of the journey of life.
Rightly so, tunnels can be dark, in the evenings in particular, more so when the tunnel doesn't have lights installed in it.
During such times we long for light, during such seasons in our life's journey we need the Light!

The dark, the night seasons of the tunnel of life's journey can be long, lonely, confusing and uncertain.
It's a period when we often don't know who to confide in, its a time we are confused about who to trust with our personal information, our secrets, even when we long to have someone to share our burdens with.
Such periods can be long, they can seem like an unending cycle of misfortune, ill luck, tragedies and a nightmare we wish to see the end of.
How we long for such phases of our lives to end.
We long for hope, good signs, evidence that our tomorrow will be better than our present experience.
We long for light which is the answer to that dark phase of our lives.
We long for light at the end of the tunnel.

During those dark times we must not forget as we journey through the tunnel of life that the darkness will come to an end.
We must not forget that the challenges, the obstacles, the difficulties are just a season and even that will come to an end.
Seasons change, and seasons come to an end.
Everything has its time and it's season.

 The hour of darkness will not last forever.

This is the wisdom of life many forget when they are going through the darkness of the tunnel on their life's journey.

Some have made a shipwreck of their lives along the way by giving up, seeking help from questionable sources, turning to vices, comfort eating, alcohol and unfortunately suicide.

Life has a way of testing our strength, our mental fortitude, and endurance.
Walking through the dark season of our lives is not a call to give up.
Quitters never win, and winners never quit.

Resolve within yourself that the darkness will not see your end, you will see the end of the darkness!
Have the understanding that you have not come as far as you have come, and enduring everything you have endured to give up.
Have the confidence to know you are not created for defeat, to give up, or to fail.
Have the knowledge to sense your creator didn't bring you this far to forsake you.
Be strengthened, be encouraged, be excited in knowing the Lord is on your side and you will make it to the finish line.
The finish line is where the light is, it is the light at the end of the tunnel.

It is where you must and you will get to.

The darkness will soon give way to light.
The season of darkness you experienced will soon make sense.
You will soon understand why you had to go through all you went through.

Don't give up now.
You may be one more effort, one more prayer, one more step, more strike away from your breakthrough.

The tables will turn, the tide will change, the darkness will give way, and you will make it to your finish line.
Your endurance will pay off.

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Spiritual Mechanisms

 Mechanisms are internal set ups that make the internal systems of a machine, device or body function.

Mechanisms are needed to make things function properly and efficiently.

A faulty mechanism can disrupt the functioning process of the body it operates within.

The efficiency of mechanisms can determine the productivity and result of a system and body.

Mechanisms matter.

We have spiritual mechanisms too.

Spiritual mechanisms are those spiritual things that we do and those things that work in our favor for the greater good, plan, and purposes of God for our lives.

God is a God of systems.

Systems exist in everything God has created, nature shows this in an abundance.

The universe has many systems within it.

Our solar system is a system that has many other systems within it.

There are systems in every sector of the earth, science proves this.

From the animal kingdom, to the world of insects, from the aquatic world to the laws that govern life in the physical and spiritual world, systems exist everywhere.

Within systems we find mechanisms.

Mechanisms are "the organized interacting parts or processes within a system that are responsible for producing specific functions, behaviors, or phenomena."

Mechanisms are the link between cause and effect

Angels act as spiritual mechanisms.

They are part of the system of heaven, they are part of the system of God's kingdom.

A young man who had left home due to a  desperate situation was tired, didn't know where to turn and he arrived at a place now known as Bethel. His name is Jacob, he would go on to be one of the patriarchs of the faith. 

It was late and all he wanted was a good nights sleep, using a rock as a pillow he slept that night and he had a dream where he saw a long ladder which reached heaven from where he was and angels were ascending to heaven and descending to the earth on the ladder.

Jacob woke up fearful, realizing he had a dream that was no ordinary dream but a revelational encounter!

That dream shows a spiritual system.

It reveals the Lord's spiritual system.

And angels are mechanisms in that system.

The ladder is Christ, Jesus the Christ.

He is God's link between heaven and earth, He is God's connection between divinity and humanity, He is God's connection between the physical and spiritual realms.

The angels of God ascend and descend because of the ladder, they ascend and descend on the ladder as part of a divine heavenly system.

Angels ascend and descend between heaven and earth because of the prayer of the saints.

The rock Jacob laid his head on is symbolic of an altar, it also represents the rock of revelation.

Our lives should be built according to pattern.

Revelations show us the pattern.

The wise man builds his house upon the rock.

Seek revelations from God, covet revelational encounters.

The mechanisms within a device or product are not often seen.

When we switch on our electric appliances, we note that they work and carry out the desired expectation but we do not see the internal mechanisms working effectively to make the products function.

That's because the mechanisms are concealed, they are in an enclosure, they are covered in casings

Our prayer life, just like those mechanisms are not for the public to see.

Prayer is not for showing off or public attention. It is not for self glorification or self righteousness before men.

The prayer life Jesus encourages us to have is one of secrecy.

Jesus Himself would go away to a quiet place to pray or to a mountain, away from the eyes of men.

"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

Your prayer closet or your room should be the cover, enclosure, or casing that conceals your prayer life from distractions and the interference of people.

Angels are spiritual mechanisms.

Prayer is a spiritual mechanism.

Altars are spiritual mechanisms.

Praise is a spiritual mechanism.

Giving is a spiritual mechanism.

Sacrifices are spiritual mechanisms.

The name of Jesus Christ is a spiritual mechanism.

The blood of Jesus is a spiritual mechanism.

Revelations are spiritual mechanisms.

Dreams can be spiritual mechanisms.

Fasting can be a spiritual mechanism.

They all work together effectively to bring about victorious and wonderful outcomes for our benefit and God's glory!

FAITH like GOLD

 Gold is a precious metal and one of the earths most valuable commodities that has a significant place and representation both spiritually and physically.

Gold is associated with wealth, glory, kingship, royalty and divinity.

Gold connotes prosperity.

Kings tend to have gold.

It is interesting to note that gold was one of the gifts presented to our Lord Jesus Christ when the wise men visited him when he was a toddler.

He was given gold, frankincense and myrrh, each gift has its own significance.

The gold represents the kingship of Jesus Christ, His prosperity and leadership.

This will be visibly seen and the whole world will come under this golden age during the millennial reign of Christ.

Frankincense represents the ministry and priesthood of Jesus Christ.

This was seen to some degree when He walked this earth, His priesthood continues in heaven for He is our great high priest.

"Seeing then that we have a great high  priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.  For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."

The priesthood of Jesus Christ is his ministry and service, more so before our heavenly Father.

Myrrh represents the servanthood of Jesus Christ, it's symbolic of his suffering.

We have seen this in full effect when Jesus walked the earth.

He came to serve, not so much to be served.

He washed feet, slept in various locations, and ate in different homes, without owning a property of his own.

His death after being scourged is the climax of His suffering.

Thank God it didn't end there, He resurrected to an age and season of glory as King of kings and Lord of Lords!

The golden age of Jesus Christ has started in the heavens and the earth.

Our faith is likened to gold in the scriptures, in terms of its purifying and perfecting.

Tested faith is more precious than refined gold!

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:"

Faith and gold are both legal tenders.

One is a legal tender in the spiritual realm while  the other is widely regarded as a legal tender globally in the physical realm.

The golden age or season is the kingdom of God age.

We can't talk about a kingdom and not consider thrones, crowns, royal attires, the king and queen's sceptres,, wealth and opulence which gold represents.

God who is King is surrounded by and clothed in light, with lots of royal splendor around Him.

When John the Baptist and Jesus Christ came teaching and talking about the kingdom of God they were declaring the golden age of God to humanity.

They were sensitizing people to the knowledge and understanding of the kingdom of God finding expression on earth, through Jesus Christ.

It was to bring about sons raised unto God through Jesus Christ.

It was to bring about a generation of royal priests, a new kind of people; kings and priests unto our God!

It is truth that's meant to be accepted by faith and prayed into in faith.

Faith is so precious and important!

Faith plays a big role in the golden age of the kingdom of heaven on earth, we come into that kingdom through faith in Jesus the Christ!

Faith like gold is more valuable when it has been processed, tested and perfected.

Gold is refined through a process that involves the application of heat and fire, quite similar to how diamonds are forged and perfected.

Faith is more valuable than gold, diamonds and precious stones.

The most important people in your life are people who help you discover, grow and use your faith, 

Our faith is called precious in the good Book.

Our faith is worth contending for.

Like gold, true faith is not common.

We don't find real gold just everywhere, its the same with real faith.

The purest and the most costly gold is not what it is until it has been tested and processed by fire, so is faith.

The hardships, the challenges, the strange warfare, the loss, the trials and tribulation can be part of the perfecting process for your faith.

They are the fire, they are the heat that removes the dross from the gold that is your faith.

True faith has been tested, and just like gold it is more precious, valuable and rare when it emerges from the 'heat'.

Gold is great but faith is better.

Faith can bring gold but gold does not bring faith.

There is gold in your faith!

Value your faith. Protect your faith, fight for it and defend it.

Ensure you have the real faith.

Every original has counterfeits.

There's a lot of counterfeit faith out there.

Even Jesus wondered as a man, whether He would find true faith when He comes back to the earth.

"Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"

Gold is a blessing.

God put it in the earth for man to discover and use.

King Solomon was blessed with an abundance of it.

His temple built to the glory of God was layered in coatings of pure gold.

Just image how that temple shore in the sun, on bright sunny days or sunrise at dawn.

What a sight to behold it must have been!

Due to God's blessings, gold was so common in the time of Solomon it was seen as frequently as the stones by the roadside.

Indeed, the reign of Solomon was a golden age of the nation of Israel.

It is worth praying, to ask the Lord to manifest the golden age of your life now!

Solomon built artifacts in the temple for the worship of God and the adorning of the temple.

Each one had a spiritual representation and meaning.

One of such artifacts were shields forged from pure gold!

Small ones were made which represent small faith but they are equally as potent as the big shields.

The shield is the representation for faith.

Shields are very important armor warriors and soldiers use for protection.

Our faith is called the shield of faith.

In Solomon's temple large shields made of pure gold were also there!

They represent big faith or the gift of faith which God gives, this is faith that's larger than the measure of faith everyone else receives at salvation.

Part of the beauty of faith is that it is effective irrespective of its size.

Its not so much its size but its application/use that matters!

And Jesus said unto them, “Because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, ‘Remove hence to yonder place,’ and it shall remove. And nothing shall be impossible unto you".

May your faith shine like the purest gold under the sun's full intensity, may your faith prove to be even better than gold!

Royals Of His Presence

Royalty is God given and determined by God.

It is God who makes kings!

There's no one who ascends to positions of power that the Creator does not know about and to a large extent permit.

Including those who rose to high ranking offices and authority through diabolic and evil means.

We cannot be more than who God says we are, we cannot go further than God says we will go and we can be all God says we can be, we can manifest as who God says we are, and we can go as far as God says we should go.

A royal often remains a royal irrespective of challenges, difficulties, setbacks or poor choices.

A royal is a royal by virtue of lineage, family and election.

The blood factor is the major reason a person or people are regarded as royals.

When a new king is about to be appointed, in many cultures the princes of the land present themselves for the throne- family by family.

The most viable option, the worthy prince is elected to be king based on tradition, culture, beliefs and hopefully merit.

Anyone who is not from a royal family or lineage is not considered for the throne irrespective of that persons accomplishments or qualifications; except for a miracle of some sort- a divine orchestration or divine intervention.

Such was what a shepherd boy called David experienced..

By divine counsels and arrangement David became king of Israel. First king of Judah, then king of Israel, it was under David's leadership that the nations of Judah and Israel became one nation.

That was a rare, exceptional occurrence, considering the first son of the incumbent king Saul,  was alive. Prince Jonathan was the son of king Saul and heir to the throne by virtue of lineage, tradition and culture.

Some things can change and be altered when God is involved.

By a turn of events, both king Saul and Jonathan died in battle!

David was made king in due time. A valiant God fearing man who king Saul tried to stop from being king and Jonathan loved as a friend and 'brother'

Much like it is in Biblical times, even during the days of David, so it is in most nations of the world you are not considered for the throne except you're a prince in succession to the kingly throne.

As it is in our physical dimension, so it is in the spiritual dimension.

Blood and lineage makes you a prince in God's sight, it makes you one of His princes.

The blood of Jesus redeems us and makes us royals before God. the blood of Jesus brings us into the linage of God's children.

The blood of Jesus makes us princes and princesses from God's kingdom

"And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."

The believer is a blood bought royal of God.

"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,"

Kings and princes reign, we are called to reign through Christ.

"And you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth." 

The believer is not a royal merely like the kings and princes of the earth but a unique one whose royalty is linked to his priesthood.

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession..." This passage establishes the identity of believers as both royal and priestly, chosen by God to represent Him.

The blood of Jesus makes us a part of God's kingdom family.

God's family is a royal family.

Through the Lord Jesus, we are part of the household of God.

We are not strangers, we are not foreigners to the Lord; we are family!

"So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God."

In the presence of God there is fullness of joy.

The joy of discovering our identity, the joy of peace, righteousness and renewed living hope.

The concept of royalty is from God, through God we discover and learn royalty.

In His presence we see royalty, we understand royalty, we see the kingdom.

In His presence we see spirits who are called "elders" they bow to God in worship, casting their crowns before Him.

They have crowns!

These elders are royals.

Citizens of God's family are royals.

In Christ Jesus, you and I are royals.

We are warrior princes and princesses.

We are priests.

We can lead a work for God, run ministries on behalf of God's kingdom, take territories and prevail against enemies.

We can enforce the promises and purposes of God on the earth.

We are regents of the purposes of God, custodians of the gospel, ambassadors of the kingdom, who come with a savor of His presence and an anointing to triumph.

We are royals who serve, we serve our creator and Father and we serve humanity in humility.

We are royals by divine election and adoption.

In His presence we discover ourselves, we find truth, we receive revelation, we blossom and flourish.

In His presence our destiny comes alive, and our physical life begins to align with the truth we contact every time we tarry in His presence.

We owe it to ourselves, the destiny we have and our life's assignment to tarry in God's presence as much as possible.

We are kings of the earth, a royal nation of priests, we are royals of His presence.

I am a of prince of His presence!
