Look deeper and longer: don't be deceived

Sometimes, we look at the word of God, and without further ado we simply make conclusions about its meaning and implication and we sometimes do not get the full blessings that would have come as a result of  better understanding of His word
I have also been a victim of this.
In times past when the word of God in revelations 5:10 was read to me, i thought it referred to the one thousand year reign of christ but that passage says;
And you have caused them to become a kingdom of priests for our God and they will reign ON THE EARTH
This means that even here, before i die and go to heaven, and definitely before Jesus returns for his 1000 year reign - I WILL REIGN ON THE EARTH.

So from henceforth, don't let the devil lie to you when you look at Gods word the next time. There is always a new meaning when you read the word of God, having asked the Holy Spirit to help you.

Again, never let the devil tell you that your reign begins when Jesus Christ returns, start practicing your reign now, so you will have become a better leader by the time he returns.

Another thing that can help you is not to see the 1000 year reign as being assigned as a governor or President of a country. It simply means that you will have authority over everything. Therefore even now, you have authority over whatever life tries to throw at you, you only need to stand your ground on the word.
