What good is the Royal Scepter if we don’t use It to overcome the enemy in all areas?
Moses recorded by The Spirit in Exodus chapter 19:
3 And Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:
4 ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My Voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
6 And you shall be to Me a Kingdom of priests and a Holy nation.’ These are the Words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”
The primary purpose of redemption is to bring GOD’S people to HIMSELF! FATHER’S primary desire is for a personal relationship with each of us. If we choose another path from Holiness, we cannot have the most important and intimate relationship with HIM.
GOD gave Moses to basic requirements: Obey HIS Voice and keep HIS covenant. These two requirements have not changed, from the Old to the New Testament.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:
27 My sheep hear My Voice (hear), and I know them, and they follow Me (obey).
28 And I give them Eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My Hand.
29 My Father, Who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s Hand.
30 I and My Father are One.”
Even though sin and satan can delay the outworking of GOD’S purposes, they can never ultimately frustrate them.
Job received this revelation as is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Job chapter 42:
1 Then Job answered the LORD and said:
2 “I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You.”
As mentioned yesterday, Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit referring to Exodus 19 in his Epistle, 1st Peter 2:
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a Holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
There is a notable difference: A ROYAL priesthood. We are to hold both callings: kings and priests.
John recorded what he heard and saw as he recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 1:
5 from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the Firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him Who Loved us and washed us from our sins in His Own Blood,
6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
And in Revelation chapter 5:
8 Now when He (Jesus) had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your Blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
We are given the Royal Scepter to reign on the earth in Holiness!
