When God the Almighty speaks, it automatically becomes a law. And His desires and will concerning you, are clearly spelt out in His words at creation, when man was created.
He said in Genesis 1:28
"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth."
These are God's desire, plans and purpose for you. I.e. to have total and complete DOMINION over all things, without exception. The writer of the book of Hebrew laid emphasis on. this point in Hebrew 2:8. He said:
"Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him..."
This scripture is talking about God putting all things in subjection under the feet of Christ. And since Christ is the head and we the believers are His body (the Church). It means everything put into subjection under the feet of Christ are actually put into subjection under our feet. It therefore means, everything put into subjection under our feet, that we have total and complete dominion over, are not permitted to reign or have dominion over us as believers.
But unfortunately, there are so many things that are reigning over the children of God on earth today, which should not be so. It is forbidding in God's kingdom, that anything in this world should reign over the child of God. It is not only disallowed, it is an abomination of the highest order.
God who created this world and placed man in it, has clearly spelt out in His word the position, He placed man and role He assign him to play on earth. Man is to dominate, rule and govern this earth on behalf of God and report back to God, who is the KING of (we the believers)kings.
So you can see that, we are created in the image and likeness of God (The king of kings). Such that, God been a King has His own kingdom, where He rules and reign supreme as king.
We also (the humans) created a kingly being (in His image and likeness) are to rule and reign supreme on earth (which is our own kingdom), as kings. You can now see that nothing is permitted to reign or have dominion over you on planet earth.
MAN IS NOT CREATED FOR SLAVERY
It is very important to note that, Man was never created for slavery. To be slave to sin, situations, circumstances, satan, fellow human or to anything here on earth.
NO!
NO!!
AND NO!!!
God's instructions concerning man (the crown of His glory), are very clear.
"...Let them (human being) have dominion...." (Gen 1:26)
When God speaks like we said earlier on, it automatically becomes a law or principle, that guides our operation on the earth created by Him. So you can see why you are not permitted to be a slave in your own kingdom (earth).
ABOUNDANT OVERFLOWING GRACE OF GOD
We thank God through the provision of His abundant overflowing grace, with which He delivered us from slavery, out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear son Jesus Christ. And we read:
"Giving thanks unto the Father......Who has delivered us from the power of darkness (slavery) and has traslated us into the kingdom of His son (to reign as king in the realm of life on earth). Col 1:13-14
On the platform of His overflowing grace we now reign as Kings, a kingly being which is our true identity and how we have been configured by God to function and operate on earth.
"..Much more we that have receive abundant overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness shall reign as king in the realm of life (here on earth" Romans 5:17
This was why God made His overflowing grace available in abundance.
We read:
"And God is able to make all grace abounds towards you; so that you always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good works" (2Cor 9:8)
The above scripture, is a remarkable one:
Let us do an exposition on it:
By exposition, I mean taking phrase from the scripture and expounding it.
So let's go:
"And God is able "
This means you have no reason to doubt, because God has all the ability to perform what He said.
"make all grace"
Means every available grace will be release.
When ever the word "All" is used. It means nothing is held back. Everything is released.
"abounds towards you"
Means it is not for any other person but for YOU specifically. Yes you!
Reading through at the moment. The scripture is very specific. And you now have it in aboundance.
"so that YOU ALWAYS having ALL sufficiency in ALL things"
Take note of the word "YOU" and the emphasis on "ALL".
Which means every available resources that you need to reign and rule as king in your kingdom, will be made readily available to you, by the all sufficient God.
Also note the word "ALWAYS".
It means not just for a particular period, but every time the need arise. There will be sufficient resources to meet those needs
"may abound to every good works"
If i may ask at this point?
What exactly is the main work God assigned us to do on earth?
This scripture answers it:
"...and let them (human being) have DOMINION.." (Gen 1:26)
So the good works that God has assign us to do on planet earth is to have dominion.
This include dominion over sin, satan, situations, circumstances or challenges that threaten our peace and joy. Having dominion means reigning and ruling as king in our kingdom (planet earth).
I decree into your life and destiny today!
That, every power having dominion over you, in any areas of your endeavors in life, in your own kingdom is henceforth terminated, in Jesus powerful name!
Amen!
Go! And dominate your kingdom!
Go! And continue to reign and rule as King(s) in your Kingdom!
IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME IT IS DONE!
AMEN!
ALL GLORY BE TO GOD
