God made man to rule. As a priest, you serve but as
a king you rule. Please see Genesis Chapter 1 verse 28. One of the most
instruments a king needs to rule is the ability to make decrees to rule (Proverbs
Chapter 8 verse 15). Decrees on the other hand are made with words (Ecclesiastes
Chapter 8 verse 4). The word power means the ability to produce and effect
results. The moment a king’s word loses the effect; the king loses his throne.
If a king’s word cannot move his subjects, he has lost his throne.
God created you to rule. As a child of God, when you
speak, something must happen. Where the word
of a king is there is power (Ecclesiastes Chapter 8 verse 4). This power is the
ability to affect people to get the outcomes you want from them. For your words to make things happen, you must
be flexible in His hands. You should be like the clay in the potter’s hands.
Please see Matthew Chapter 4 verses 19 to 25. How flexible are you in His
hands? The only person that has the power to make you is the person you follow.
True discipleship in Christ Jesus confers ownership and ruler ship of resources
as one is divinely aligned with the king of kings, Lord of lords and the true
owner and Ruler of all resources. When you progress to true discipleship in
Christ, everything becomes yours and everything is added to you. That is why
the process of becoming a true disciple is much more important and critical
than seeking for bread. Multitudes followed Jesus for the bread but the
disciples followed Him for a change because that change was necessary.
Following just for bread does not empower you to rule. Therefore, seek first
the kingdom of God because if you are genuinely following Him, things will
follow you.
The Church should be stronger than what she is
presently if only believers follow Him for who He is and not things. The Church
should learn to fish and own the pond rather than asking for fish. Believers
should be taught both how to fish and how to own the ponds so their fishing
enterprises are sustainable. That way, they will have the mind of Christ
through discipleship and ultimately always supersede the devil by introducing
the mind of Christ and not fighting him.
For instance, the
lion roared against Samson to stop him but Samson killed the lion. Beloved, you
are also divinely capacitated to roar back at any lion that roars against you
by decreeing the judgment of God against such lions. You will tear the lions with your decrees in
Jesus mighty name. You have entered the season in your life when every word you
speak must produce an effect so that you can rule effectively in the midst of
your enemies.
Every time Jesus Christ spoke, all of creation
obeyed. Jesus spoke what had to come to pass in spite of all contradictory
evidences. Please see Luke Chapter 5 verses 1 to 10, John Chapter 21 verses 5
to 11, Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 8 to 13. You can
command respect and authority if you have great divine communication skills.
Speak as God speaks and you command respect and authority. Speak where God
wants you to speak and speak what God wants you to speak. There is a way to
issue commands and they are immediately carried out. There is a way to ask
questions and you get answers. There is a way to make requests and get the
requests approved and granted.
The words of a wise and powerful person are few,
conveyed in an authoritative tone and are firm. A wise and powerful man’s word
carry weight and are considered implemented once spoken. Take authority in your
domain and speak as God would have you speak. When you take the word of God and
declare it, you take on divinity and your words carry power. That was why the
Apostle Paul commended believers to the word of God (Acts Chapter 20 verse 32).
The truth of the word of God embarrasses the enemy. The word of God is not editable,
debatable. As a child of God, your responsibility is to declare the word of God
to situations. Therefore, the words that you speak should be spirit and life
backed by God’s divine power. The Bible records in Psalm 147 verse 15 that the
word of God that was sent forth ran swiftly.
This divine communication skill is what you need to respect
and authority; refine your five talents to emerge and to enter into God’s new
dimension for your life. When you understand your divine position in the home,
the church, the community and the larger society, you will be more careful with
words in terms of the choice of words you use and how you say them. The battle
between David and Goliath was actually a battle of words. Goliath attempted to
intimidate David with words the same way he had succeeded in intimidating the
army of Israel with words. Unfortunately for Goliath, David was not a person
that anyone could ever intimidate with words. David responded to Goliath in
faith and ultimately destroyed Goliath. Beloved, you can silence the devil
speaking through anyone against you and members of your family with the word of
God. Elijah spoke by the Spirit of God to deal with sin in the land of Israel
in 1st Kings Chapters 17 and 18. You can also stand with God and
judge the spirits opposed to God’s plans and purposes for your life. Their
responsibility is to obey and conform to the plans and purposes of God for your
life.
Beloved, what do you speak? What words are you
speaking? Please see Ephesians Chapter 6 verse 17, Acts Chapter 20 verse 32,
Isaiah Chapter 55 verses 10 to 11, John Chapters 1 verse 14, 6 verse 63, Luke
Chapters 1 verses 26 to 38, 45, 4 verse 32, Ezekiel Chapter 37 and Matthew
Chapter 4 verses 1 to 12. As I close, I
plead with you to study how God created the world (and God said let there be
light and there was light); also the speech patterns of Jesus Christ; the Holy
Spirit; and Moses in his long negotiations with Pharaoh; as well as the speech
patterns of Joseph, Nehemiah, Daniel, Esther, Peter, the Apostle Paul, Abigail,
the Syro-Phoenician woman and the woman of Shunem. Shalom.
