Other titles: Using and losing your kingly authority
Description: "God designed you to reign. He commanded Adam: 'Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.' (Genesis 1:28) In Christ you're given even greater kingly authority: 'Christ has made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on earth.' (Revelation 5:10) Right now God is looking for men who will faithfully use that kingly authority to win battles and establish his kingdom in their homes and communities. He's given you everything you need to do it. Interested? The text is 1 Samuel, and the example is Saul, Israel's first king. As God prepares you to reign with Christ for eternity, you'll learn how to use that authority, and avoid abusing or losing it."--Cover.
