đź“śTAKE YOUR PLACE AND EXERCISE DOMINION
đź“– For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).
👤 PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSc. DSc. DD.
Some have queried that if Jesus was truly Lord over all and over everything happening in the world, then why are things in disarray? Yes, He’s Lord; He’s seated far above all principality and power. But you must understand your place in His reign and in His lordship: He reigns through you. You’re His instrument of dominion.
Therefore, one of the reasons things are in disarray today isn’t because Christ lacks authority but because those who are to act in His stead haven’t understood or exercised that authority. That’s why the Word is coming to you even now. That’s why you’re being taught. You’re the one called to reign in His stead.
You’re the one to dominate this world and tame circumstances to conform to the perfect will of God. You’ve received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness; that qualifies you for a life of dominion. You must consciously use the authority given to you in the Name of Jesus. When situations arise, don’t plead, don’t beg, don’t cower; take charge. Enforce the will of God.
The Lord Jesus is running the universe, yes; from galaxies to governments, nothing is exempt from His rule. But He administers His dominion through His Church. That means wherever you are, His authority is to be expressed through you. If things are out of order, you don’t watch them deteriorate; you take action. You speak and enforce God’s righteousness.
Everything in life has intelligence, and has been commanded to hear and obey Jesus (Matthew 17:5), and by extension, you because you’re one with Him. When you speak, everything in life, living or non-living, complies because you function in the Name of Jesus, in His dominion and authority. Hallelujah!
He empowered you to rule your world and rule the world in His Name. He said in John 20:21, “…as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.” Then in Matthew 28:18, He said, “…All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Then He charged us, on account of His dominion and authority, to disciple the nations and make the world a better place (Matthew 28:19-20). Therefore, act accordingly; take your place and exercise your dominion in Christ.
🙏PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness that I’ve received in Christ. I walk in the consciousness of my authority and exercise dominion in every sphere of life. I enforce your will in my environment, bringing order, righteousness, and peace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
