There is, I see, an inherent quality,
That deep within each one of us is born.
It is a strong desire to be royalty,
Some crown that only by us should be worn.
We men see ourselves as kings of our homestead,
Yet it is typically women who ‘rule the roost’,
The queens, ruling as if they’re kings instead.
Thus, at home, men may not get their …kingly ego boost!
At work, we often tend to aspire to be the boss,
Hiring, firing and deciding with authority,
Till we realize their health and lives are in chaos,
And that, for most, self-promotion outranks loyalty.
Socially, we want to be ‘the leader of the pack’,
Being looked-up to, respected and closely followed,
Till from the others we begin to get lots of flack,
Because by leaders, they are being overshadowed.
Yet born to rule, we still feel we are, instinctively,
Though with no crown to wear or throne upon which to sit.
Thus, we devise our ways to rule …insidiously,
Through devious schemes and tricks in our mind and spirit.
lucifer once wanted to replace God in Heaven,
Then as satan, he wanted to be god on the Earth.
But as gods on the Earth, The Lord created humans.
Then Adam messed up, and depreciated our worth!
The Bible reminds us of our ‘god-intention’,
And Jesus pointed to this when He was challenged.
So about this concept, what do you imagine??
The god-intention in us will never be expunged. 1
This is what I perceive…
Long before The Lord God created the universe,
He had Earth as His primary focus, 2
As a stage on which we would audition, then rehearse,
For eternal roles as …royals lustrous. 3
He designed us after creating the angels,
But above them, lower than Himself -- man with no lack. 4
He adorned us with …nascent royal credentials.
Adam abdicated our throne. Jesus took it back!!!
But get this…
He’s not stingy, but offers our throne to us …again,
To serve Him and our fellow man as kings and priests unto Him,
During life NOW, and THEN in His Millennial Reign. 5
This is a fantastic offer from The Lord God, Elohim.
Accepting His offer, our rehearsals on Earth are revealed,
And one Day soon, as lustrous kings and priests we’ll be recognized.
Rejecting His offer, our reversal from Adam …is sealed
And The Lord is impugned, Whose judgment is now …pre-publicized. 6

6 The Great White Throne Judgment: ‘Then I saw a great White Throne and Him Who sat on it, from Whose face the Earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then death and hades were cast into the lake of fire [hell]. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.’ (Revelation 20:11-15)
