"And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (Revelations 5:10 KJV)

We've been looking at the counsel of God for us through the various challenges, temptations or trials that He allows us to go through, which is to build capacity in and through us and also to bring about our glorification. Hallelujah!

These challenges and temptations are part of the trainings that God allows us to go through to equip us with the ability to reign with Him as kings on this earth.

he word of God says, that our Lord Jesus Christ through His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection has made us kings and priests unto God and we shall reign on this earth (Revelations 5:10). But do you know that it is one thing to be born a king and another thing to be raise or trained as a king? You might have been born as a king, but until you are trained to sit on the throne you cannot occupy the throne that is appointed for you.

This is the main reason why God allows us as His sons and daughters to go through training. And part of that training is allowing us to endure temptations, trials or challenges just as He allowed the Lord Jesus Christ to endure the cross (Hebrews 5:8).

This is also why, God's solution for us in the midst of our trials is not to make a way of escape for us so that we can run away from the trial, but so that we can bear or endure the trial or distress to the very end.

This is simply because in the Kingdom of God if you are not trained, you cannot reign as a king. And because God wants us all to reign as kings with Him, He allows us to go through these challenges, trials and temptations as a way of training us to have the capacity to accommodate the glory due unto us as kings who are to reign with Him on High.

This is the whole counsel of God in and through all the trials we face. They are all ordained by His faithfulness to give us the ability to reign with Him as kings on this earth in Jesus name. Glory to God! Hallelujah!

Prayer/Declaration
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the opportunity to be trained by the challenges that I face. I declare that even as I yield to these trainings I receive more and more capacity to reign with Christ on high in Jesus name. Amen!
