1 Peter 2:9, NIV: "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
When we become believers in Jesus Christ, who is the King of kings and Lord of lords, we automatically belong to His royal family. He could have simply just called us as priests, but He chose to call us royal priesthood. It is significant to note that royalties have authority. Jesus has conferred us the authority that comes from Him as the King of kings. We must, as His royal priesthood, recognise that we have the kingly authority and to minister boldly with the power and authority conferred upon us.
The kingdom of God is about power and authority. Jesus operated with such great authority that He cursed the tree that did not bear any fruit and in the next morning, the tree withered from the roots (Mark 11:12-14, 20-21).
To an invalid, Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk. At once the man was healed; he picked up his mat and walked” (John 5:8-9).
This was the authority that Jesus had, just by commanding the tree and the invalid and the power of God was demonstrated.
Prophet Elisha had great authority. When he was walking along the road, some youths came out of the town and jeered at him. “Go on up, you baldhead!” they said. Elisha turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the LORD. Two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths. (2 Kings 2:23-24)
In Acts 5:3-5, Peter had such great authority that after saying to Ananias how Satan had filled his heart that he lied to the Holy Spirit, then Ananias fell down and died.
Apostle Paul told Elymas the sorcerer in Acts 13:11 that the hand of the Lord was against him and he would to be blind, and would not see the light of the sun. Immediately, mist and darkness came upon him. Elymas groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
We are living in the last days and God is quickening His work. His royal priesthood will rise up in confidence to speak forth God's word with power and authority like never before. The fire of God will be imparted to God's people to move mighty with kingly anointing to heal, deliver and revive nations.
At the City Missions Church’s Fast & Prayer Zoom Meeting on 21st June 2021, Prophet Nathasha Van Tonder gave me a word that God has given me much authority that I need to be careful in what I say. Here is the link to her prophecies:-
To God be the Glory, Honour and Power!
