Sunday 22nd November 2015; Daily Grace Inspirations By Pastor Joseph Prince - Use Your Double Portion Of Speaking Powers
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people...
God calls us “a royal priesthood”. This means that we are kings
as well as priests under the king-priesthood of Jesus Christ. This has
never happened before in the history of God’s people. In the Old
Testament, kings and priests were two distinct groups of people. You
were either a king or priest, but not both at the same time.
Today, because we are in Christ, we are king-priests—a royal priesthood. This means that we have a double portion of speaking power because as kings, “Where the word of a king is, there is power” (Ecclesiastes 8:4), and as priests, “by their word every controversy and every assault shall be settled”. (Deuteronomy 21:5)
So if you are a Christian businessman, you will have an edge over worldly businessmen. What you say about your business deals will come to pass. And if you are falsely accused, know that by your very word, every controversy and every assault will be settled!
And as a king-priest parent, when you bless your children, your words have the power to set in motion supernatural events which will bring them into God’s abundance and super-abounding grace. And there will be such a courage and resilience about them that it will empower them to win the fights of life!
When the devil comes to you and says that you will die young because your father and grandfather died young, or that you will never be successful because you are not well-educated, you must remember that the devil is neither a king nor a priest. There is no power in his words. But there is power in yours because you are a king-priest in Christ!
So instead of agreeing with him, believe and declare, “I will not die young. With long life He will satisfy me and show me His salvation!” Say, “The Lord will make my way prosperous and give me good success!” Use your double portion of speaking power and see these blessings come to pass!
