TOPIC โจ HE MADE US GREAT AND MADE US KINGS โจ
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing (Genesis 12:2).
Some people struggle with the idea of greatness. They resist it because it sounds excessive or inappropriate. So they say, โDonโt talk about me being great; thatโs too much.โ But God made us great because weโre the seed of Abraham. Our greatness was His idea; we didnโt ask for it.
It wasnโt Abraham who said, โ...O, God, make me great.โ It was God who said to Abraham, โ...I will bless thee, and make thy name great...โ (Genesis 12:2). So, as a Christian, when you shrink back from greatness, itโs incongruous with your identity and with Godโs plan for your life. Ponder the fact that God reiterated with unmistakable clarity in Genesis 17:6 what He had said in Genesis 12:2, โAnd I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of theeโ (Genesis 17:6).
Observe that it says, โKings shall come out of thee.โ This is consistent with what the Scripture reveals about us in Christ: โโฆmuch more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christโ (Romans 5:17). The literal sense of the word โreignโ in the verse above is to โking.โ Itโs the verb of kingship.
Therefore, you could say, โThey which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall king in life by Jesus Christ.โ And it gets even stronger. The Bible says He has โโฆmade us kings and priests unto God and his Father...โ (Revelation 1:6). Our title as kings isnโt futuristic but a present-moment reality. He has made us kings.
What do kings do? They rule and reign. They exercise authority and dominion in their realm. This is why you must never talk like a victim, act helpless, or see yourself as ordinary. Youโre great, and youโre a king. The Bible says, โWhere the word of a king is, there is powerโฆโ (Ecclesiastes 8:4). Kings donโt beg or grovel; they speak with authority. They comport themselves with dignity. Kings manifest royalty.
Every so often, say, โI know who I am; Iโm great, and Iโm a king. I reign and rule in life.โ Youโre not trying to hype yourself when you say this but merely affirming what God has done, who Heโs made you. Itโs your identity; He made you great and made you a king.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for your blessing and greatness at work in my life. I walk in the consciousness of who I am in Christ, reigning in life by your gift of grace and righteousness. My words carry power, my life reflects dominion, and I manifest your glory everywhere, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Romans 5:17 AMPC
For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Genesis 12:1-3 KJV
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: [2] And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: [3] And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
