Believers are called certain names in scriptures. These names are significant for the following;
1). To reveal our make-up and design spiritually
2). To reveal our potential and abilities in Christ
3). To reveal our assignment in Christ and to the world
1 Peter 2:9 (KJV), Revelation 1:6 (KJV), Revelation 5:10 (KJV)
God has made us Kings and priests, not Kings or Priests. We need both dimensions to exercise our dominion on Earth.
Differences between Priesthood and Kingship (Why we need both dimensions):
1). Priesthood secures our connection with God and the realm of the spirit, while Kingship secures our connection and impact on the earth.
2). Through Priesthood, we will our resources spiritually, while Kingship creates the platforms through which we exercise these spiritual resources or abilities.
3). Through Priesthood we are relevant spiritually, but through Kingship, we are relevant earthly.
Keys to Activating Priesthood:
1). Salvation (The New Birth experience)
This is the only authorized way to accessing the spirit realm.
2). Spiritual illumination through the Word
The realm of the spirit is governed by laws. It takes spiritual intelligence to engage the realm of the spirit. Spiritual intelligence is gotten through spiritual illumination from God’s Word. This illumination can only be gotten when God opens your eyes to the scriptures.
Darkness only flees at the light of God’s Word in us. There is a level of light and illumination required to become efficient priests and kings in this kingdom.
3). A life given to prayer and intercession (Luke 18:1)
The realities of God that you see in visions will only remain visions until you pray.
Three (3) Keys to be Effective in Prayer;
I). The Art of Prayer: This is an understanding of the laws and principles that govern prayer.
II). The Act of Prayer: This involves the application of your knowledge on prayer and engaging in the act of prayer. The only way to get out of prayerlessness is to pray.
III). The Spirit of Prayer: The Spirit of prayer is engaged when you consistently involve in the act of prayer. When your flesh fails you, the spirit of prayer helps you.
Keys to Activating Kingship;
1). Divine or supernatural wisdom
2). Kingdom wealth and prosperity
3). Kingdom influence and affluence
