Christians have the privilege of being kings and priests unto God. At this present time (before the return of King Jesus) we have a diminished role in this. When Christ our Lord returns we will have a greater role to fulfill.

Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Revelation 5:9-10 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

Rev 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Right now, before the return of Christ

As Kings - we are to reign in life.

Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offense death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

We are to reign over sin, the flesh, circumstances and situations, over all the power of the enemy. { God has given to us everything we need, to do so.}

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust
of the flesh.

Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

As Priests - we are to offer up to God.

Sacrifices of praise and giving
Prayer in behalf of others

Praise

1Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Giving

Hebrews 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to be generous, for God is pleased with such sacrifices.

Prayer

1Timothy 2:1-4 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

1Tim 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

1Tim 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

1Tim 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always laboring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and
complete in all the will of God.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
