Flames of Fire Women’s Conference Preparing to Reign

The concept of “preparing to reign” is deeply rooted in the Bible, where believers are called to be trained, tested, and equipped to rule and reign with Christ in His kingdom. Scripture reveals that God’s people are being prepared for a future of authority, responsibility, and divine leadership under Christ.

1. Called to Reign with Christ
Revelation 5:10 (KJV) – “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”

This verse affirms that believers are destined to rule as kings and priests under Christ’s authority. Our preparation now determines our future role in His kingdom.

2. Training Through Faithfulness
Luke 19:17 (KJV) – “And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.”

Jesus taught that those who are faithful in small things will be entrusted with greater responsibility in His kingdom. Our faithfulness in service today is preparation for our future reign.

3. Learning to Overcome
Revelation 3:21 (KJV) – “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”

Reigning with Christ requires overcoming trials, sin, and spiritual opposition. Those who persevere and remain faithful will share in His reign.

4. Suffering as a Path to Glory
2 Timothy 2:12 (KJV) – “If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us.”
Enduring hardships for Christ refines us and prepares us for positions of authority in His eternal kingdom.

5. Becoming Mature in Christ
Hebrews 5:14 (KJV) – “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

Spiritual maturity is necessary for reigning with Christ. Growing in wisdom and discernment equips us for leadership in God’s kingdom.

6. The Promise of Future Authority
Revelation 2:26 (KJV) – “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.”
Faithful believers will be given authority to govern under Christ in His millennial and eternal kingdom.

Conclusion
“Preparing to Reign” is about growing in faith, enduring trials, developing spiritual maturity, and walking in obedience to God. As we remain faithful in small things, overcome spiritual challenges, and endure suffering for Christ, we are being shaped for the glorious destiny of reigning with Him.
