Introduction
This tutorial explores the teachings from "Rediscovering the Kingdom Vol 4 pt4" by Dr. Myles Munroe, focusing on the concept of the Kingdom of God and the dual role of individuals as both kings and priests. This guide will help you understand the significance of your identity in the Kingdom and how to apply these principles in your life.
Step 1: Understanding Your Identity in the Kingdom
- Recognize that you are created to be part of a royal priesthood.
- The term "royal priesthood" signifies that you hold both a spiritual and ruling authority.
- Reflect on the verse stating that you have been made a kingdom of priests, emphasizing that this is not a separation but a combination of roles.
- Avoid religious misconceptions that create a divide between spiritual and secular roles.
Step 2: Embrace Your Dual Role
- Accept that as a believer, you are meant to operate in both spiritual and leadership capacities.
- Understand that carrying out God’s will requires being in touch with both heaven (spiritual realm) and earth (physical realm).
- Acknowledge that a leader (politician) who does not connect with spiritual guidance is not fulfilling their true role.
- Recognize the importance of maintaining a relationship with God to effectively execute His will on earth.
Step 3: Transform Your Mindset
- Shift your thinking from performing religious duties to embodying your citizenship in the Kingdom.
- Understand that being a citizen is not about rituals but about your identity and mindset.
- Embrace the idea that your transformation begins in your mind. As Romans 12:2 suggests, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Step 4: The Power of Confession and Agreement
- Realize that "confessing" in a biblical context means agreeing with God about your identity and actions.
- When you confess your sins, you are simply acknowledging the truth of your situation to God, allowing Him to forgive you.
- Cultivate a mindset that aligns with God's perspective to enhance your spiritual authority.
Step 5: Preaching the Good News of the Kingdom
- Understand that the core message of the Kingdom is about the availability of God’s reign on earth.
- Move beyond traditional religious teachings to embrace the message of the Kingdom, which emphasizes living under God’s rule.
- Share this understanding with others, focusing on the transformative power of the Kingdom rather than mere religious practices.
Conclusion
In summary, embracing your identity as a member of a royal priesthood allows you to fulfill your dual role effectively. By transforming your mindset and understanding the power of confession, you position yourself to represent the Kingdom of God on earth. As you continue to explore these concepts, consider how you can apply them in your daily life and leadership roles. Engage with your community to spread the message of the Kingdom, and let your actions reflect your commitment to this divine calling.
