🔥 Are You Ready to Step into Your Kingship?
Have you ever felt like you were meant for more—yet something keeps holding you back? Maybe it’s the weight of past struggles, uncertainty about your calling, or even the mindset that tells you this is as good as it gets. But the truth is, God has called you to rule and reign in Christ!
Too many believers live beneath their Kingdom inheritance, navigating life like survivors instead of kings and priests. Revelation 5:10 (NKJV) makes it clear:
"And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth."
This isn’t just a distant promise—it’s a now reality! But stepping into this kind of spiritual authority requires a shift in thinking, a transformation in how we see ourselves and our role in the Kingdom.
This month in The Equipping Community, we’re diving deep into The Grace to Rule and Reign—breaking off the spirit of poverty, reclaiming our spiritual authority, and learning to walk in wisdom, stewardship, and Kingdom leadership. These principles aren’t just theories; they are the keys to unlocking abundance, purpose, and impact in every area of your life.
Let’s explore the five principles that will position you to walk confidently in your calling.
1️⃣ Seek Wisdom First
Wisdom is the foundation of every great leader. Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV) reminds us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” This means that before we can step into our role as kings and priests, we must first pursue God’s wisdom—not the world’s version of success, but the kind of divine strategy that aligns with His plans.
Have you ever faced a decision that felt too big for you? Maybe a career shift, a ministry move, or a financial investment? The world tells us to rely on logic and analysis, but Kingdom wisdom calls us to lean into the Spirit’s leading. When we seek God first, He opens doors no man can shut and gives insight that surpasses human understanding.
📌 How do you apply this?
✅ Before making any major decision, ask: “Lord, how does this align with Your Kingdom?”
✅ Surround yourself with wise, faith-filled leaders who challenge and sharpen you.
✅ Engage in deep Biblical leadership training—because ruling well requires learning well.
2️⃣ Walk in Righteousness
Wisdom and righteousness go hand in hand. Proverbs 8:20 says, “I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of justice.” In other words, when you operate in wisdom, you naturally walk in righteousness. But let’s be honest—staying on that path requires intentionality.
It’s easy to be righteous when things are going well. But what about when you’re tested? When a business deal tempts you to compromise? When leadership gets lonely? When someone betrays your trust?
This is where many leaders fall. They start strong, but when trials come, they make small concessions, thinking, Just this once. The enemy doesn’t need a big scandal—he just needs a slow erosion of integrity.
💡 How do you stay on course?
✅ Make a commitment to transparency in your relationships, business, and ministry.
✅ Pray daily: “Lord, align my heart with Your righteousness.”
✅ Stay connected to a community of leaders who will hold you accountable in love.
3️⃣ Break Free from the Spirit of Poverty
The spirit of poverty is not just about finances—it’s a mentality that keeps you small. It whispers, “You’re not enough.” It convinces you that scarcity is your portion and that dreaming big is selfish or unspiritual.
But Jesus came to shatter that mindset! He said in John 10:10, “I have come that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.”
Many believers struggle in this area because they equate lack with holiness. But nowhere in Scripture does God call us to a life of just getting by. He calls us to steward resources, create solutions, and build generational wealth that advances His Kingdom.
🔥 How do you break free?
✅ Recognize that wealth is not sinful—it’s a tool for the Kingdom.
✅ Shift from a survival mindset to a Kingdom steward mindset.
✅ Learn Biblical financial strategies to manage and multiply what God gives you.
4️⃣ Steward Resources with Excellence
Kings govern wisely, and priests minister faithfully. Whether you are leading a business, pastoring a church, or managing a household, God calls you to steward well.
This means taking what He has entrusted to you and multiplying it—not hiding it in fear or wasting it through poor planning.
📖 Luke 16:10 reminds us: “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much.”
🛠 How do you apply this?
✅ Create systems that maximize efficiency and growth.
✅ Develop wealth-building strategies that align with Kingdom principles.
✅ Invest in people, not just profits—because true Kingdom wealth is generational.
5️⃣ Build a Kingdom Legacy
Have you ever thought about the impact of your life beyond your lifetime? Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children.”
Your calling is bigger than just your success. The decisions you make today shape the next generation of Kingdom leaders. This is why we must be intentional about passing down wisdom, faith, and resources.
🎯 How do you build legacy?
✅ Invest in discipleship—train others, don’t just lead alone.
✅ Ask: “How does my work advance the Kingdom beyond me?”
✅ Connect with a community of like-minded leaders who are building together.
