The Dominion Of Christ
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power
is given unto me in heaven and in earth (Matthew 28:18).
The Lord Jesus Christ has the dominion over all
things, including men, angels, and demons; things in
heaven, on earth and under the earth are subject to Jesus, and
must obey His voice. As His representatives and ambassadors
here on earth, He has in turn given us dominion over all
things. He exercises His authority today through us—His
Church—which is His body.
Ephesians 1:21, talking about the resurrected Christ,
tells us that He’s seated in the heavenly realms, “Far above all
rule and authority and power and dominion and every name
that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not
only in this age {and} in this world, but also in the age {and}
the world which are to come” (AMPC). Here, the word “rule,”
means two things: first, it means the authority that governs,
and secondly, it means the decrees by which they govern.
It refers to rulership and its rules. So, it makes no difference
what rule has been made, Jesus is far above all rule. Notice
that He’s set, not just above, or near above, but FAR above all
rule. Hallelujah!
And then Philippians 2:9-11 says, “Wherefore God also
hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above
every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under
the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” The Church
really hasn’t used the Name of Jesus as it ought to. That Name
opens every door. In His Name, you have power to cast
out devils, tame the forces of nature, and mobilise angels to minister for you.
Christ has brought us into a life of extraordinary
dominion. We’re not victims, but victors in this world. The
Bible says, “…as he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17).
We function in His stead. He gave us the right, the power
of attorney to act in His place! Whatever you declare in His
Name, He makes it happen. Stop crying and begging God
to do something about your case. Use the Name of Jesus!
Exercise dominion over the circumstances of your life today,
and always be victorious.
PRAYER
Precious Lord Jesus, thank you for
giving me the power of attorney
to act in your stead. I take full
advantage of the authority you’ve
given me to put a stop to every
evil work around me, declaring
and insisting that your will alone
prevails in my life and
circumstances. Amen.
