What is God Doing Today?
The Protestant Reformation (largely spearheaded by Martin Luther) emphasized on the priesthood of all believers. While there were great benefits arising from that movement, there has remained a general dichotomy between “the sacred and the secular” – where believers took the Sunday/Church activities to be “sacred” and the Monday-Saturday activities as “secular”.
The result of that is an incomplete Church with only one dimension – the priestly dimension and lacking in the kingly dimension. This is akin to the Levitical priesthood which only possessed a priestly mantle and lacked the kingly mantle. So much so that the Levites didn’t need to own any land.
This is in contrast to the Melchizedek priesthood which contains both the kingly and priestly mantles. Like our LORD Jesus, Melchizedek was both a king and a priest and this is how we are ordained to operate in the earth.
The graphic below shows how the Church has been operating – numerous expressions under the priestly function but devoid of the kingly anointing.
The priest – which was full/populated
God is populating the “king” folder.
However, God is changing this order. He is now “populating” the king folder so that the “corporate man of God” is complete – lacking nothing! One of the ways in which this is manifesting itself is by a rising awareness in the Church that ministry extends beyond the “traditional 4 walls of the Church” into the marketplace. God is raising Kingdom Entrepreneurs that are committed to His will and purpose and who function accurately both as kings and priests.
