*📜HE MADE US GREAT AND MADE US KINGS*

*Monday, May 25th*
*Pastor Chris*

_*📖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, “Don’t talk about me being great; that’s too much.” But God made us great because we’re the seed of Abraham. Our greatness was His idea; we didn’t ask for it.

It wasn’t Abraham who said, “...O, God, make me great.” It was God who said to Abraham, _*“...I will bless thee, and make thy name great...”*_ (Genesis 12:2). So, as a Christian, when you shrink back from greatness, it’s incongruous with your identity and with God’s 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, _*“And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee”*_ (Genesis 17:6).

Observe that it says, “Kings shall come out of thee.” This is consistent with what the Scripture reveals about us in Christ: _*“…much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ”*_ (Romans 5:17). The literal sense of the word “reign” in the verse above is to “king.” It’s the verb of kingship.

Therefore, you could say, “They which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall king in life by Jesus Christ.” And it gets even stronger. The Bible says He has _*“…made us kings and priests unto God and his Father...”*_ (Revelation 1:6). Our title as kings isn’t 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. You’re great, and you’re a king. The Bible says, _*“Where the word of a king is, there is power…”*_ (Ecclesiastes 8:4). Kings don’t beg or grovel; they speak with authority. They comport themselves with dignity. Kings manifest royalty.

Every so often, say, “I know who I am; I’m great, and I’m a king. I reign and rule in life.” You’re not trying to hype yourself when you say this but merely affirming what God has done, who He’s made you. It’s 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 Jesus’ Name. Amen.*

*||* *‭‭Revelation 5:10 KJV And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.* *||*

*||* *‭‭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.* *||*

*USE THE WORD TO JUDGE THE RIGHT COUNSEL*

📖 *_"From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day" (Matthew 16:21)._*

Matthew 16 reveals an important moment between the Lord Jesus and His disciples. After they had been preaching and declaring Him the Christ, the Master began to focus inward, revealing what was to come. He instructed His disciples to keep His identity secret for the time being.

Soon after, He explained that He must go to Jerusalem, suffer many things, be killed, and then raised back to life. Upon hearing all that, Peter did something unbelievable. The Bible says he took the Lord aside *_"...and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee"_* (Matthew 16:22).

Think about that; Peter rebuking the Master. The Lord knew it was Satan who spoke through Peter and addressed Satan directly, saying, *_"...Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men"_*(Matthew 16:23).

Peter, on that occasion, must have been startled, because he wasn't aware it was the devil who put those words in his mouth. It matters who you're speaking for. Only give vent to the things that be of God. Never lend your voice in support of Satan.

It's the reason knowing the Word and having it renew your mind is so important. Let the Word of God dwell in you richly (Colossians 3:16). The knowledge of God's Word makes you discerning; you're able to judge good from evil and prove (allow) the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2). With the light of God's Word, you're able to judge what's coming from you, what's coming from Satan or what's coming from God.

*PRAYER*

*Dear Father, thank you for your Word that gives me understanding and discernment. My heart is established in your truth, and I recognise every thought, voice and influence that is not from you. My knowledge of your Word guides me, and I speak in alignment with your will at all times. I walk in victory, and I live conscious of who I am in Christ. Hallelujah!*

STAY FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT AND LIVE IN THE WORD

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… and have been all made to drink into one Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13).

Many sing, “Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord, come and quench this thirsting of my soul; bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more....” Such a song, however religious, is born out of complete ignorance of God’s Word. First, the Lord Jesus is the Bread of Heaven. He said in John 6:35, “...I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.”

Also, in Matthew 4:4, He said, “...Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Therefore, when you received Jesus Christ, when you were born again, you received the true "Bread" from heaven. You received the One who satisfies. Secondly, when you received the Holy Ghost, you received the “drink” that quenches the thirst of every soul.

Our opening scripture says, “For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… and have been all made to drink into one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:13). This means you not only receive the Spirit, you drink the Spirit. He’s God’s answer to the thirst of the human spirit. The question, therefore, is, why are many still thirsty and singing, “Come and quench this thirsting of my soul,” having received the Holy Spirit?

If you’re thirsty, drink of the Spirit. In other words, be filled with the Spirit! You’re supposed to be constantly filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18-21 tells you how; read the entire reference. Staying filled with the Spirit and living in the Word is the answer. It’s the best life.

That’s how you dominate sickness, failure, lack and the circumstances of life. That’s how you walk over and above Satan, his cohorts and their corrupting influences. That’s how to live in the reality of divine supply and spiritual satisfaction.

Don’t cry for what you already have. Stay drunk with the Spirit. Keep living in the Word. That’s where your glory is; your results will keep increasing, and you’ll walk in blessings only. Hallelujah!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bread of Heaven, and for the Holy Spirit, who satisfies my soul. As I drink of the Spirit continually and stay in the Word, my life is refreshed, strengthened and established in divine supply and supernatural results, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS INDWELLING PRESENCE

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you… (1 John 2:27).
Many people keep searching for a second anointing, a third anointing, a “double anointing,” and more. Yet the truth is simple: if you have received the Holy Spirit, you already have the anointing. What you need is to put to work or activate what you already have.

Some have been taught to believe that beyond receiving the Holy Spirit, there’s another special anointing that must come upon them in order to achieve certain results in life and ministry. They fast and pray, not because the Spirit is absent but because they assume what they have isn’t enough.

Then, when miracles begin to happen, they conclude that the “special anointing” has finally come. But the more you study the Scriptures, the clearer it is that such claims cannot be substantiated; they’re assumptions, not divine truths. A simple observation exposes the flaw: many who claim they have received this “special anointing” still return again and again, seeking the same experience.

This shows that nothing new was received because there was nothing new to receive. You cannot receive what you already have. If someone has not received the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is ministered to them, they can receive Him. But if they already have the Holy Spirit, there’s no separate “extra anointing” coming from heaven that’s different from the Spirit they already received.
The anointing is not something to be pursued in levels. The anointing is the Holy Spirit in you. When this becomes clear, the pursuit shifts from chasing experiences to walking in the consciousness of the Spirit’s indwelling presence.

Trust what you’ve received: the Holy Spirit in His fullness: “For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him” (John 3:34). Live in the light of God’s Word; act on the truth, and results will follow.

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit who lives in me in His fullness. I walk in the consciousness of His power and indwelling presence, and I produce results that glorify you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE CHARACTER OF TRUTH

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another (Ephesians 4:25).

You might have observed that people who don’t tell the truth are often the ones most desperate to be believed. They get offended when others don’t believe them, yet they know they aren’t telling the truth. Liars always want to be believed because they depend on deception to achieve their goal.

But when you tell the truth, it doesn’t matter who believes you or not. That’s because the truth stands on its own. If the other person refuses to believe, they’re the one at a loss because they’re likely to make wrong decisions based on falsehood. But you’ve done your part by telling them the truth.

Truth is a gift. When you speak it, you share something of value with another person. If they receive it, it blesses them; if they reject it, they lose. The truth doesn’t change, and it doesn’t need defending. It has power in itself. That’s why those who walk in truth are at peace. They don’t strive to be believed; they simply live by the truth.

But those who lie, struggle, cry, plead, and insist on being trusted, because their confidence depends on others believing their falsehood. So, always choose truth. Live in truth. Speak and walk in truth. It liberates and strengthens your spirit while deception corrupts and enslaves. As the Scripture says, “...ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32). Praise God!

PRAYER / CONFESSION

Dear Father, thank you for making me a child of truth. I walk in sincerity, integrity and uprightness of heart. Your truth fills my spirit and governs my words and actions. I refuse to yield to deception or hypocrisy. I speak the truth in love and live by the light of your Word every day, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
