Kings Don’t Beg: Understanding Identity, Dignity, and Divine Royalty

Kings Make Decrees, Not Pleas

“Kings don’t beg — when you beg, you appear desperate. When you are desperate, you become vulnerable.” — DrAzu

Pause and think about that for a second.

This is not about arrogance — This is about identity.

There’s a kind of desperation that is dangerous. A posture of begging that violates your true essence. Especially when you are called to kingship.

1/
You Were Born for Royalty

Whether or not you realise it, you were not made for servitude, subjugation, or slavery. You were born as royalty.

I didn’t make this up, it's divine reality.

Scripture says: “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood…” (1 Peter 2:9). This scripture should mean something to you.

Royalty is your heritage in God.

But what use is a king who doesn't know he's royalty?

He will sit on the floor when he’s meant to rule from a throne.

Listen, Identity defines Posture.

A lion that sees itself as a dog will bark instead of roaring.

A prince who forgets his heritage and bloodline will beg for the crumbs when he should be feeding multitudes.

2/
Begging Is a Posture of Powerlessness

To “beg” in this context doesn’t only mean asking — it means lowering your dignity in pursuit of something inferior:

It means:

• Begging for affection

• Begging for validation

• Begging for recognition

• Begging for opportunities

• Begging to be seen, heard, hired, or loved — it’s just so disappointing!

Mind you, begging is not always vocal; It’s often emotional.

It smells through one’s body language, the unspoken words we don’t say, the boundaries we allow others to break, and the lies we accept just so that we can be liked and accepted.

I often say, when you beg, you appear desperate.

When you're desperate, everybody can smell it.

Desperation is not attractive—it repels.

3/ Desperation Leads to Vulnerability

Desperate people make poor decisions, I mean, really silly decisions.

Desperate people get exploited every time!

Desperate people say "yes" to everything that robs their dignity, when they should say "no".

Desperate people lower their standards to secure short-term comfort.

Desperate people trade their legacy for a brief moment of acceptance or respite.

I want to be clear: Desperation is not the same as hunger.

Hunger drives discipline, but Desperation erodes discernment.

Hunger has direction. But desperation leads to panic.

That’s why you must never approach destiny like a beggar. Approach it like a son, like a king, like someone who knows what they carry.

4/
Kings Make Decrees, Not Pleas

When was the last time you saw a king on his knees, begging his citizens to do what they were already summoned to do?

Don’t bother thinking, it’s never.

Kings issue decrees.

They speak with clarity.

They walk with confidence.

They operate from authority.

They know that what they need is either within them, within their powers or it will be drawn to them by the force of alignment and preparation.

Solomon reminded us that “Where the word of a king is, there is power.” (Ecc 8:4)

That includes your words.

If you speak as a beggar, people will treat you like one.

But if you speak as a king, you create the environment of respect and honour and glory around you.

5/
Jesus Never Begged

He is the highest King there can ever be.

He moved among men, yet never once begged for attention, affection, or affirmation.

He knew who He was.

He called men to follow, but He didn’t chase them.

He declared His mission, He didn’t defend it.

He spoke to storms, demons, diseases — and they responded.

Pilate wanted him to beg for His life.

His response, “I am a King and this was the reason why I was born”.

Yet, He was humble.

He was obedient to death, even the death of the cross.

Death didn’t take Him. No, He did death a favour, and gave to death.

Here’s the paradox I learnt from Him: true kingship walks in humility, not humiliation.

You see, Jesus washed feet, but He never grovelled for approval.

He knelt in prayer, but never crawled in desperation.

Because humility is strength under control, not the absence of strength.

6/
Identity Precedes Inheritance

You can’t enjoy the benefits of royalty if you don’t embrace the mindset of royalty.

A king has rights, yes — but also responsibilities.

Royalty is not a feeling. It’s a standard.

• It calls for Clarity — knowing who you are.

• It demands Conviction — Standing by what you believe.

• It requires Confidence — Moving with assurance even when resources are invisible.

• It exhumes Composure — Remaining calm even under extreme pressure.

Royalty is a constitution in your spirit — an operating system running your mind.

7/
Avoid Environments That Require You to Beg

Sometimes the issue is not that you’re not enough. The issue is that you are in the wrong room, relationships, and conversations.

There are environments that only recognise your value when you beg.

Leave them.

There are people who only pay attention when you act desperate.

Delete them.

There are systems that make you feel like a nobody until you shrink and surrender your dignity.

Exit them.

Don’t invest your greatness in places that profit off your inferiority.

Go where you are respected, not reduced.

Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated!

8/
When You Know Who You Are, You Wait Differently

The hardest part towards manifestation is the waiting season — when you know your worth, but doors aren’t opening.

When you’ve prepared, but recognition hasn’t come.

When you’ve served, but platforms haven’t appeared.

In those moments, the temptation is strong — to beg, to clamour, or to manipulate outcomes.

But kings wait differently.

They prepare themselves.

They reaffirm their convictions.

They keep growing towards becoming who they were created to be.

And they trust that the throne cannot remain empty forever— it’s simply not time yet.

They are assured that their seats have their name on it.

9/
Don’t beg to sit at tables where you were meant to be invited.

Build your own table, and the right people will come sit with you.

Reclaim Your Royal Posture

You are not a beggar.

You are not a slave.

You are not a desperate voice in a crowded room.

You are a King. Born of God. Full of grace.

So, walk tall.

Speak wisely.

Wait with dignity.

Act with conviction.

Because Kings Don’t Beg.

They decree. They decide. They build.

And they are worshipped!

Acting royally long enough, even if your current circumstances don’t seem like it, your experiences and environment will soon begin to reflect it.
