Good morning my brothers and sisters in the Lord. All protocols observed. Kindly allow me to shed more light to one point we raised on yesterday's lesson.
Sunday's topic for the teaching: GHI vision (Touching the world through the gospel of grace and truth in Christ Jesus) in conjunction with our year's declaration (Dominion in Christ)
Romans 5v17
For if, by the trespass of the one man(Adam), death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
As we continue to claim dominion in Christ let's note that it is however not a free fall, though it's our heritage. We will rule by light and revelation . We will rule by Jesus Christ; actually we can rule only by the Word of God, the vision which we receive.
Our senior Pastor preached about us taking responsibility . We can't claim dominion,then sit back at home doing nothing and expect to gain it just like that . God our Father has His part to play and we have ours concerning this heritage. It doesn't end in speaking and claiming it by force. An action must be taken! There is a topic we teach at school on Rights and responsibilities. As much as our children protest/fight for their rights, there are roles/responsibilities that they should play for full gain of their rights,eg as parents we give them their right to education,and their role/responsibility is to work hard in their school work,not missing lessons, writing their homeworks,reading their books. Any child not doing such will not gain this right, it will end in speaking it.
📌If you do not have the word, (which is Jesus Christ) in you; you cannot rule in life. Grace and righteousness still operate by the Word. The Word of God must have a supreme place in your life if you really want to rule. In fact, you rule by the anointed Word in your life.
The big question is: How do we gain dominion in Christ as GHI family?
📍Here are five simple steps to walk in total control:
1. Believe the word:
Faith is what gives you access to the grace and the righteousness of God. Faith is what it takes to receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness.
2. Preach the gospel to every creature:
Mark 16:15 teaches us that we should proclaim the gospel to every creature. Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation . 2 Corinthians 4:5 teaches that those who have the same spirit of faith as Abraham had speak what they believe. You must declare the word to everybody and everything around you.
3. Do the works of Jesus Christ:
Doing the works of Jesus Christ is actually doing the works of the anointed Word. John 14:12 shows clearly that if you believe then you will do the works of the word and even greater works.
4. Be a witness of the word:
Acts 1:8 teaches that we shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon us. After walking in the works of the word by the Holy Ghost, you will go about telling others that the word works. As you walk in the word, it will work for you and you will testify. After walking in the word, you will begin to encourage others to walk in it too. Many of us are not witnessing because we have not proven Jesus Christ, others are ignorant while some are ashamed.
5. Teach others how to do what you have been taught to do:
Matthew 28:18-20 teaches us to teach the nations around us how to do what we have been taught to do. I see you becoming a teacher of good things.
📌The more we sow the seeds into the land, the more we shall produce of our own kind in Christ,and dominion shall be given in our hands.
👏🏾I pray that every one of us shall exercise total dominion over all situations and circumstances of life. Nothing shall stop you as you believe, as you proclaim, as you do and exhort others, and as you teach the nations. You are in charge, God put you in charge; you must be in charge. If we remain faithful in doing our part as Christ's disciples surely surely the whole world will be filled with this gospel of grace and truth in Christ Jesus. The enemy has already lost power to rule, he's already under out feet.
Dominion is our portion in Christ.
Stay blessed
