[Isaiah 11:1-5 KJV] “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;”
“and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD : and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth:”
“and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.”
Kings reign by roots, mandate, understanding, authority, and values.
Four things that empowers kings to reign are their Connection, Covering or crown, Content (what they are made of), and Clothing (symbol of values)
Where are your spiritual roots and connections? Jesus Christ was connected by roots and by stem. You must be connected to both Jesus and to your apostle. Believe the Lord and you will be established, His prophets and you will prosper. Apostle Paul said emphatically, follow me as I follow Christ! If you want to reign, you must be connected.
What covering rest on you? The covering you submit to, will determine your understanding. The Spirit of the Lord rested on Jesus Christ; hence He operated by the light and understanding of heaven. Who speaks into your life? That will determine the understanding you operate by.
What are you made of? What comes out when you open your mouth? The Lord had a rod and breath by which He could destory the wicked. Are you combat ready? Do you have a rod in your mouth? Are you ready to dominate and subdue nations and Kings? Your content matters.
What is your clothing? What is your girdle made of? You are a minister and serving? What girdles are you wearing? The girdles of our Lord Jesus Christ are righteousness and faithfulness.
A wise king does not rule over his people; He empowers and rule by them.
The main reason Africa is poor is because our leaders subdue us; they rule us, instead of ruling by us. Whereas the advance nations empower their people to take over other nations; our leaders starve us to death.
Europeans and the West came to Africa and stole what we have to go build their nations; Africa still steal what we have to go hoard in Europe and the west. Have you ever read that any European leader stole the nations wealth to deposit in African banks? But have you not read that African leaders stole the nations money and hoarded in secret accounts in Europe and the West?
I am trusting and hoping that God will raise a new generation of men and women prepared to reign by mandate, understanding, warfare, and wealth!
Stay blessed
