A king who has power and authority, but not the heart of a servant, will rule as a tyrant over people. He will be a burden to them, not a blessing. His will will not be for their good or benefit. A servant who has no authority or power may have love and compassion for the people, but as much as he wills it, he will be unable to render aid to those in need. For this reason, the Bible declares that Christians are kingly servants (royal priests). We must know that we are empowered with all of heaven's resources to proclaim and render healing, forgiveness, and the goodness of God's salvation to all who are in need. If you have great compassion for the sick and dying around you, you must also know that you are also a king, ruling with full authority and power, completely equipped to render aid by healing the sick, raising the literal and spiritual dead, and proclaiming the goodness and
rule of our great and merciful King-Priest's dominion. We are kings who reign in power and compassion. Will you receive His gift of righteousness and super-abounding grace to actively live as such?
