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.
