As believers in Christ, we are not just saved—we are citizens of the Kingdom of God, with rights and privileges given to us through Jesus. We can walk this earth in VICTORY. Enjoying our life – more than simply existing until we get to heaven! The Bible lays out these spiritual rights, which empower us to live in freedom, authority, and purpose.
Last night, in our virtual connect group, we had a powerful discussion about what our rights are as Kingdom citizens. When we declare our Kingdom Rights, we stand tall against the lies of the enemy and take back what he has stolen from us. We stand up for our rights, never back down, and boldly remind the enemy that the beaten, bruised, and resurrected body of Jesus Christ declares us FREE! This is our war cry! We are entitled to these rights as believers because Jesus paid for them in full! We must stand firm, unshakable, and declare God’s truth over our lives. It is written, and it is finished!
The bible is overflowing with right we have as Kings Kids. Listed below are just 25 of those rights that we can knit into our hearts as we continue on our journey with Jesus! This list is by no means comprehensive and I urge you to dig into the Word of God on your own and find the rights and promises that belong to you!
25 Kingdom rights that belong to us as believers:

Walking in God’s favor is not about luck or chance—it’s about aligning our lives with His principles and trusting Him to open doors that no one can shut. Below is a guide on how to activate and walk in supernatural favor every day.
1. Walk in Righteousness and Obedience
Key Scripture: “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield.” (Psalm 5:12)
Favor is a covenant blessing for those who live in righteousness before God. This does not mean we are perfect, but it means we strive to obey God and live in alignment with His will.
Action Steps:
✅ Repent quickly when you fall short (1 John 1:9).
✅ Obey God’s instructions even when they don’t make sense (Isaiah 1:19).
✅ Seek to live a life that pleases God (Proverbs 3:3-4).

Key Scripture: “And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, ‘Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory…’ So God granted him what he requested.” (1 Chronicles 4:10)
God’s favor is available, but we must ask for it. Many people don’t walk in favor because they don’t pray for it!
Action Steps:
✅ Every morning, pray for God’s favor over your life, work, family, and relationships.
✅ Declare favor over your situations (e.g., job interviews, financial matters, business deals).
✅ Pray for specific doors to open that only God can unlock.
Example Prayer:
“Father, I thank You that Your favor surrounds me like a shield. Today, I declare that I walk in supernatural favor, and doors of opportunity will open for me. Grant me divine connections and blessings beyond my ability. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
3. Speak Favor Over Your Life
Key Scripture: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21)
What you speak daily influences your reality. Many people cancel their own favor by speaking negatively over their lives.
Action Steps:
✅ Speak blessings over yourself and reject negativity.
✅ Instead of saying “I’m unlucky” or “nothing good happens to me,” say:
- “I am highly favored by God!”
- “Opportunities are opening for me!”
- “I walk in divine connections and success!”
✅ Surround yourself with people who also speak faith.
4. Have an Expectation of Favor
Key Scripture: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.” (Psalm 23:6)
Walking in favor means expecting good things to happen, not living with a mindset of failure.
Action Steps:
✅ Wake up each morning expecting God’s favor.
✅ Reject doubt and discouragement.
✅ Stay confident, knowing God is working behind the scenes.
Example:
🔹 Before a meeting, say: “God’s favor is with me, and I will have a positive outcome.”
🔹 Before a job application, declare: “I walk in divine favor, and doors of opportunity are opening for me.”
5. Be Generous and Serve Others
Key Scripture: “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.” (Luke 6:38)

God’s favor increases in the lives of those who are faithful with what they have.
Action Steps:
✅ Be diligent in your work and responsibilities.
✅ Manage finances with wisdom and integrity.
✅ Stay consistent in prayer, devotion, and serving.
When God sees you handle small responsibilities well, He opens bigger doors.
7. Trust God’s Timing
Key Scripture: “For the vision is yet for an appointed time… Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come.” (Habakkuk 2:3)
Sometimes, favor does not happen immediately. God may be positioning things in His perfect timing.
Action Steps:
✅ Don’t get discouraged if doors don’t open right away.
✅ Keep trusting, praying, and speaking favor over your life.
✅ Believe that God’s timing is perfect.
8. Surround Yourself with the Right People

The people around you can impact the level of favor you walk in.
Action Steps:

✅ Seek out godly mentors who can guide and encourage you.
9. Walk in Gratitude
Key Scripture: “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
Gratitude attracts favor. Complaining blocks blessings.
Action Steps:
✅ Thank God daily for His favor, even before you see it.
✅ Keep a gratitude journal.
✅ Rejoice in small blessings, knowing greater ones are coming.
10. Stay Humble Before God
Key Scripture: “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” (James 4:6)
Pride repels favor, while humility attracts it.
Action Steps:
✅ Acknowledge that all favor comes from God, not your own ability.
✅ Give God the glory when doors open for you.
✅ Stay teachable and open to correction.
Final Prayer for Favor
“Heavenly Father, I thank You that Your favor surrounds me like a shield. I declare that doors of opportunity are opening for me, and no one can shut them. I walk in divine connections, supernatural success, and blessings beyond my ability. Guide me, Lord, and let Your favor go before me in every situation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
