🏆 Reigning by Revelation
Text: Revelation 1:5–6
“…And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
🔑 Introduction
In redemption, reigning is our birthright.
But even though it is our birthright, the devil still contests it.
📖 Deut. 2:24 – God gave Israel the land, but told them to *“possess it and contend with him in battle.”
👉 One of the ways we contend is by Revelation.
đź“Ś What is Revelation?
Revelation = uncovering, disclosure, or revealed knowledge.
It is what God shows you that gives you an edge in life.
Revelation is light – and light always masters darkness.
⚡ Darkness = absence of light.
Where light shows up, darkness disappears.
🙌 Eve fell because of lack of knowledge.
🙌 Jesus triumphed because of the fullness of knowledge.
đź› How Do We Access Revelation?
- Through the Help of the Holy Spirit
The Bible is inspired by the Spirit and must be interpreted by Him.
2 Tim. 3:16–17
2 Pet. 1:20–21
The Word is open but sealed until the Holy Spirit unveils it.
- Through Meditation
Meditation = thinking deeply, reflecting, or focusing on the Word.
It is in meditation that we draw the nutrients out of Scripture.
The devil doesn’t mind you reading; he fights you when you meditate.
📖 2 Cor. 3:6 – “The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.”
➡️ Meditation digests the Word into your spiritual system.
Rom. 12:2 – Our minds are renewed through meditation.
Meditation engenders focus – and focus magnifies what you see.
Ps. 34:5 – “They looked unto Him… and were not ashamed.”
đź‘‘ Examples of Meditation in Scripture
- God (Genesis 1) – Spirit moved, God spoke → Creation.
- Jesus (John 8:1–12) – Wrote on the ground before answering accusers → Wisdom & Light revealed.
- Prodigal Son (Luke 15:17) – “He came to himself” → Restoration.
🌱 Why Revelation is Key
Without understanding, the Word cannot produce fruit.
📖 Matt. 13:19–23 – Only those who understand bear fruit.
A believer without revelation remains like a child–an heir who is no different from a servant.
📖 Gal. 4:1 – “Though he owns all, he cannot access it until he grows.”
🎯 Conclusion
Revelation is your key to reigning.
What you don’t know, you’ll pay for—even if Christ already paid for it.
Revelation transforms reading the Bible from a religious duty into a life-giving encounter.
👉 Live by Revelation, reign by Revelation.
