I can think of no better message to share with you today than the one fond in Kenneth E. Hagin's Faith Food!
Your Domain
April 11, 2013
"For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive God's overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness; putting them into right standing with Himself, reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)" (Rom. 5:17 AMP).
In the time when Paul wrote this, kings reigned over certain countries or domains. You are to reign in your domain too. This doesn't mean you're to reign and rule over other people, but you're to rule and reign in your life, your dominion. You're to rule and reign over circumstances, poverty, sickness, disease - everything that would hinder. You're to reign because you have authority! How do you have it? Through the One, Jesus Christ. Don't let the devil cheat you out of the blessings God intended you should have. God never intended that you should be poverty stricken and destitute. He didn't intend that the devil should rule and reign over your family and dominate them. Just get angry at the devil. Tell him, "Take your hands off of my children! You've got no right here. I'm ruling over this domain!" If he says anything about it, quote him Romans 5:17.
"Reign" is the Greek word "basileuo". This means: to rule; to be king; to exercise kingly authority. Just who is supposed to be ruling and reigning in YOUR life? YOU are! HE has given us the choice! IN HIM, we have been given the authority to rule over all the power of the enemy! Let's use that authority to chase the devil and his demons completely out of all the affairs of our lives! Find out what the Word of God says belongs to you as a born again believer, and then keep those promises EVER before your eyes! HE will NOT rule FOR us! He WILL rule WITH us, but the choice is up to us! How long will YOU continue to live "under the circumstance", "under the weather", or "under the thumb" of anyone? Wake up, stand up, speak up and BE the king of your own life! MAKE it count for the Kingdom of God! Show the world the results of one who puts God and His Word first, so that THEY will have something to catch their attention and point them to the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! Amen! Then YOU can make this confession from Faith Food:
Confession: I reign in my domain. I have the authority to do so. I reign by the One, Jesus Christ. The enemy cannot rule over my family. He cannot rule over me!
Amen! Here is Hillsong Live with "Rise":
Shalom in Him!
