5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Revelation 1:5-6 (KJV)
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Bottom line: You are an ambassador of the kingdom of God on earth.
Teaching
The Bible teaches us that the kingdom of God is a real kingdom with a real government, ruled by a real king i.e. God himself. However, part of the government of God’s kingdom is presently on earth. This government comprises essentially the body of Christ with the angels created by God.
God has given his children the power to rule and exercise authority on earth over the devil and over the angels as well.
The Bible says:
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 1:5-6 (KJV)
God has appointed us to be Kings on earth to dominate and subdue it. Our mandate is to take over (conquer) territories on earth in the name of our heavenly King. Jesus was teaching his disciples about the kingdom of God and told them a parable about a nobleman who instructed his servants before going on a long journey. This instruction was:
13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Luke 19:13 (KJV)
So, is the kingdom of God. We are ambassadors of the kingdom of God on earth and we have been given the task to occupy the earth until the return of Jesus Christ. By “occupy”, Jesus means to take over every territory on earth which is presently under the control of the devil and his demons.
Therefore, God has equipped us with diverse gifts and talents so that we may infiltrate every social sector, dominate, and subdue it to the glory of God.
Some Christians are gifted in music, others in sports, others in business, others in construction, others in acting, others in politics, and so much more. Our mandate is to take over these sectors in the name of Christ our king.
Seeing therefore the mandate we have on earth; the Lord has equipped us as well with power and authority over devils and put angels at our disposal to run errands according to our instruction.
Just as an ambassador of a country is well equipped to represent his country properly in a foreign land, so are we fully furnished to represent the Kingdom of God on earth. Hallelujah!
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV)
What are you waiting for now? You have been given the royal charge to take over your city, town, and the world for Christ in your area of gifting. This is your divine mandate on earth. Stop waiting and start acting. Dominate the earth for the Lord. Hallelujah!

Reflection
- Have you ever considered yourself as part of God’s administration on earth?
- Have you ever felt that you have been called by God to represent him in a specific area of society?
- If not, then, identify your area of gifting and make it your mission field. You are required to be the best in that field and to make disciples of Jesus there as well.
Prayer
Thank you, Lord, because, through Jesus Christ, you have made me part of the heavenly kingdom and administration. I declare today that I am active and functional in my area of calling and I am making disciples of all nations through my gifts and talents in Jesus’ name. Amen.
