THREE STRATEGIES FOR ENFORCING THE MANDATE AND MINISTRY OF A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD Wednesday, 27 Sivan, 5774 = Wednesday, June 25, 2014 “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 marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9). We have been able to know that we are truly of the twofold nature of kings and priests. We have also been able to outline the various steps we must follow to enforce our mandates as royal priests. Howbeit, there are three strategies that every child of God must apply to enforce the mandate and ministry of a royal priesthood. They are: 1. REBUILDING THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID: “And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things” (Acts 15:15-17). 2. PENETRATING SYSTEMS AND RESTRUCTURING INSTITUTIONS: “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon; Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them; Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished. And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace” (Jeremiah 29:4-7). 3. BUILDING MODELS AND PLANTING THEM IN NATIONS: “Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant” (Jeremiah 1:9-10). KEY PRAYER FOCUS 1. PRAY FOR THE POWER TO PENETRATE OCCULTIC SYSTEMS THAT HAVE BEEN SET UP IN THE NATIONS: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18). 2. ACTIVATE THE MINISTRY OF LABOURERS IN REBUILDING THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID: “For we are labourers together with God: ye are Gods husbandry, ye are Gods building” (1 Corinthians 3:9).
