THE CONCEPT OF ROYAL PRIESTHOOD
SERMON INSIGHTS
The Divine Identity and Responsibility of the Chosen
Central Spiritual Truth: Being part of a royal priesthood is a divine mandate to reveal God’s marvelous light in a world covered by darkness.
- You are called to a spiritual identity that is not just a title but a heavy responsibility to manage the affairs of the nation according to God’s vision. This calling means you must carry the burden of building a society rooted in the honor, fear, and knowledge of the Almighty.
- Ghana is specifically positioned by God to be a platform and an open door for a new heritage of glory that will reach the entire world. This national destiny requires people who are prepared to make the kingdom of Christ a visible social reality.
- Darkness currently covers the world in the form of wars, spiritual deception, and politicians who seek power through unholy human sacrifices and rituals. In the midst of this, the church must stand as the beacon of hope and the source of true light.
- Every profession, whether you are a lawyer, doctor, or contractor, is actually a platform intended to show forth the praises of God. If you focus only on your personal business or career, you are missing the higher purpose of your divine appointment.
- Scripture Reference: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light”.(1 Peter 2:9)
The Two Dimensions of Kingdom Governance: Royals and Priests
Central Spiritual Truth: God establishes His kingdom through the partnership of “Royals” who govern and “Priests” who mediate His will.
- “Royals” are the nobles, the politicians, judges, and ministers who are entrusted with the administrative and legal affairs of the land. God is raising people within the church to fill these roles so He can rule through them as the supreme Lawgiver and Governor.
- “Priests” serve as the mediators who transmit the will of God and prepare the nation through education and discipleship in His laws. In the New Testament, this is expressed through the five-fold ministry of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers.
- The current crisis in the nation stems from the fact that both groups have failed, with many church leaders and Christian professionals neglecting their divine mandate. Corruption and wickedness flourish because those meant to be “spiritual royals” are not leading with divine wisdom.
- It is a grave abomination for church leaders to accept money from politicians who consult demons at night and then seek pastoral prayer by day. The church must recognize that prayer is for God’s divine agenda and not a tool for political manipulation.
- Scripture Reference: “And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. (Revelation 1:6)
Raising the Next Generation of Divine Leaders
Central Spiritual Truth: The foundation for future leadership must be laid today through holiness, obedience, and the study of Scripture.
- Do not underestimate the children among us; in five to ten years, those who are currently young will be the ones rising as ministers of state. This house has been chosen as a place where the altar and the throne reside, meaning we must prepare our youth for the highest offices.
- Success in the kingdom will not come from shortcuts or leaked exam questions but from being on your knees and seeking God’s specific direction. You must be filled with the Holy Spirit and remain steadfast in your determination to serve God above all else.
- Beware of charismatic leaders who promise millions in exchange for “seed offerings” but fail to teach you truth or righteousness. These churches are raising corrupt “Christian” rogues who are a disgrace to the nation and to humanity.
- Scripture Reference: “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand”. (Ephesians 6:13)
Exhortations and Calls to Action
Central Spiritual Truth: You must repent of self-centered agendas to fulfill your special position as a royal priest.
- Repent of Selfishness: Change your agenda from thinking only of your career and family to reflecting the glory of God in everything you do.
- Arm Yourself with Truth: Give yourself fully to God by studying the Scriptures and allowing the Holy Spirit to overflow within you.
- Choose God Over the World: If you are a professional—whether a lawyer, driver, or mason, be a child of God first and let Him direct your path.
- Prepare the Youth: Encourage the younger generation to not be dull but to rise and take their turn in leadership through prayer and fasting.
- Walk in Integrity: Be careful in your associations and your choice of spouse, as a decent person cannot walk with those who love corruption.
- Scripture Reference: “Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ”. ( 1 Peter 2:5)
