Proverbs 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. 6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. 7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
The kingdom of our dear God operates on principles; and to be a king and a priest in this kingdom one needs to obey and follow the lay down principle in order to maintain our throne. The only thing that the royals in this kingdom are allowed to be addicted to, is the word of God and the things of His kingdom (Matthew 6:33). You are allowed to be an addicted lover of God and aside from that any other addiction is a sin. Addiction is one of the nature of sin; sin is addictive and has the power to keep its victim to want some more. Every child of destiny in the scripture was instructed not to take strong wine and drinks; they were to eat special food including honey in order to be able to make good judgement. Right from the day of their conception their mothers were told not to take strong wine (Judges 13:3-7 and Luke 1:15); it was a specific instruction from God. The same goes to you as a king and queen in this kingdom. Redemption has made us one with Christ; we are king in order of Christ ordained to rule here on earth and to make good judgement in order of Christ. Jesus Christ's name means the anointed one; now that he is living in us with his anointing, we also have the anointing of God in us. So, if the anointed is now living inside of you and you are now addicted to strong wine, you have defiled him and he will be left with no option than to depart from you and that will leave you powerless and vulnerable to the destroyer. The scripture said that strong wine is meant for those who are ready to perish. In the law of Moses; the Levites priests were told not to take strong wine and redemption has made you and me a priest; taking into strong wine is you telling God that you are not interested in your inheritance. Job said that the blessings of him that are ready to perish are given to him, and I am sure you don't want your redemptive blessings to be given to another person (Job 29:13). God redeemed the Levites to himself and whatever that is meant for God were given to them; so by redemption, me and you are priests in order of the Levites. The scripture made me understand that every male child that opened the womb among the Israelites was dedicated to God as a Nazeree, God chose the Levites instead; so, all the firstborn were now redeemed and the money given to the Levites. Numbers 3:12 (And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine; 13 Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD. 51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses). Now, Jesus Christ has redeemed us to God as a king and a priest and the price paid was his blood.; and our redemption came with benefit in order of the Levites the priest. Revelation 5:9 (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; 10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing). God has chosen you and me; we are separated unto God and for us to enjoy our seven redemptive inheritance mentions above, we are require to stay away from so many things and one of them is strong drinks and hard drugs; the priests are holy and consecrated; we also are mandated to be holy and remain holy unto God our Father. We are to be conscious of our behaviour; and numbness kills peoples conscience and that is what alcohol and hard drugs does. Sin is addictive and it numbs people's conscience and then destroys their destiny. 1 Peter 2:9(But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light).
The instruction is meant for our own good; so that our enemy will not take advantage of that to rob us off our glorious destiny. Imagine Jesus taking strong wine; he would not have been able to reconcile us with God; just like me and you; we have an assignment and it is good to take it very seriously. It is high time we know what it takes to be a royal; we are expected to be conscious of our behaviour so that our heavenly Father can be proud of us in order of Job(Job 1:1-8). God was boastful of Job; I really want God to be proud of me but I don´t know about you. It is not by power nor by might but by the spirit of God, we may not be able to resist the temptation in the energy of flesh that is why we need the spirit of God. Knowledge is power. We can actually study to know how the earthly kings and queens behave and what the society and their kingdom expect from them and that will give us an insight of who we truly are as a king. My father Bishop David Oyedepo says that the day he got the revelation of who he was as a king he refused to live and behave like an ordinary man. His testimonies inspired me and that makes me take a look at myself again and refuse to behave in a certain way as a Queen. Proverbs 20:1 (Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise). Friends, in case you have made hard drugs and strong drinks your god; it is time to drop them and take your position as a wise king that you are ordained to be; enough of the mockery; come over to Jesus and let him help you by praying this salvation prayer below.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen
