Understand Your Right In The Kingdom

There is no kingdom without a king. A kingdom is a domain where authority is passed. It only takes a man of the spirit to understand that there is a kingdom for him to possess. In a kingdom, you find the king, the prince/princess, the queen, slave and the likes. But in the beginning, God gave Adam and Eve a kingdom, they lost their kingship and dominion through sin but God still offers us a kingdom because a kingdom is meaningless without a king. God is the king of kings. Kings have the final say when it comes to matters of the kingdom. We are kings automatically to the king of kings because the bible says “we are joint heirs with the father”. The son of a king automatically becomes a king because he can also command and rule in the kingdom. Since

we are heirs of God and God is the king of kings therefore we are kings in our territory ruling in
God's kingdom.
 

Fourteen things about the king (Extract from Myles Muroe kingdom principles)
A king is never voted into power
A king is king by birthright
A king cannot be voted out of power
A king's authority is absolute
A king's word is law in His territory
A king personally owns everything in His domain
A king's decree is unchanging
A king chooses who will be citizens
A king embodies the government of his kingdom
A king's presence is the presence of his authority
A king's wealth is measured by his property
A king's property is measured by status of his citizens
A king's name is the essence of authority
A king's citizens represent his glory
A king's citizens represent his glory or nature.

In the kingdom, everything needed is provided. The king is in charge of your total well being. He protects and guides you and He continually makes provisions for your needs. The king makes sure you are okay for his reputation. It's the decision of the king whether some people will stay in the kingdom or not. The king continually nourishes and keeps those that seek after the
interest of the kingdom. God called us into His kingdom and that's why we have right as sons and daughters of the king in the kingdom. 

The bible says in 1st Peter 2 vs 9 

“BUT YE ARE A CHOSEN GENERATION, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, AN HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE, THAT YE SHOULD SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES OF HIM WHO HATH CALLED YOU OUT OF DARKNESS INTO HIS MARVELOUS LIGHT”. 

God called us Himself because, HE determines those that will stay in the kingdom. The problem most of us are having with possessing our right in the kingdom is that we have shifted our reasoning from seeking first the kingdom and we go all about with religious activities. The greatest enemy of the kingdom is religion. God promised a kingdom not a religion. Most of us who call ourselves sons and daughters of the most high have left our duties of seeking first His kingdom and we are busy with religious act. The bible says “SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND ALL OTHER THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU”. 

The bible did not say just one thing shall be added but all things shall be added. Many of us have become like the Pharisees seeking after religion and not His kingdom. All things have been made and prepared in the kingdom, all you need to do is become a citizen of God's kingdom and when you are born of God, you automatically become a citizen of his kingdom. We are no longer called slaves because He has bought us with a price and adopted us has sons and daughters in His kingdom. As citizen of God's kingdom, we are entitled to everything that the king owns. We have rights and at the same time responsibilities. Our responsibility as citizens of the kingdom is to continually seek for the peace and interest of the kingdom. We must be focused on the kingdom and by so doing, our rights as citizen will not be deprived us. Some people have a wrong perception about the kingdom of God and the worship of Jesus Christ but “NO MATTER HOW PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT CHRIST, THEY CAN NEVER DETHRONE HIM”. Whether you serve Him right or not, nothing changes the fact Jesus is Enthrone with His father in the Kingdom.
 

Finally, I want us to start living as kings in the kingdom. We need to understand our rights as citizens of God's kingdom. We are sons and daughters in God's kingdom and God need us to be up to the task, then He can take care of us. Everything has been provided and made ready in the kingdom, all we need to do is understand our right and possesses it. We also need to be responsible and accountable to the king because he has provided so much for us and he needs our attention and presence. A king is king by birth right. We are heirs to the father (God, the king) so automatically we are kings in the kingdom. UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHT, LIVE IT RIGHT, CLAIM YOUR RIGHT AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR RIGHT.
