Born to Rule your Circumstances

I

n the beginning God gave man a dominion mandate over the earth and the fullness thereof. Man was made to have dominion over all things in the universe.  It is written: “And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)

God originally made man to walk in dominion in the earth realms. What is dominion? Dominion means government, ownership, control, kingship and headship. In essence, man has a mandate from God to govern and exercise His authority over the earth realms. All things on earth are subjected to man by divine order. God put all things under the feet of man as it is written: “What is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou dost care for him? Yet thou have made him a little less than God, and dost crown him with glory and honour. Thou has given dominion over the works of thy hands; thou has put all things under his feet,” (Psalm 8:4-6)

See, by divine order and plan, nothing was made to have dominion over man. Everything was made to be a subject to man. All things are put under your feet as a believer. Sun, moon, stars and all elements such as wind, rain, fire, etc are made subject to man. In Old Testament, we saw Joshua exercising his dominion over the sun and the moon (Joshua 10; 12-14). Likewise Moses talked to the earth and the earth opened and swallowed his enemies.  That is why you must know that circumstances on earth must not control you but you must control them. Every challenge is subject to you. Every mountain is subject to you because you have dominion over them by divine order.

Beloved, there is no problem or challenge that is greater than you in the world because you are born to rule and reign over problems of life. Hear this, problems or trials are steppingstones to your greatness in life. They are not meant to overcome you but to catapult you. They are necessary for your greatness because problems you solve become your life message. You are greater and more than any challenge of life. You are more than conquerors. That is why Jesus said that truly, truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “be taken up and cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. (Mark 11:23).     

Jesus believed in man’s dominion over every situation of life according to the bible verse above. He taught his disciples to exercise their given dominion over issues of life but it depends on their dominion consciousness or mentality. To use or demonstrate power you must be conscious of power. Similarly, to walk in dominion you must be conscious of dominion.

The question now is how to exercise your dominion over problems of life. According to Mark 11 verse 23, your tongue or mouth is the instrument through which you exercise dominion. God rule by His words. Jesus Christ our master ruled over everything by His words. He spoke to the stormy wind and it calmed down immediately. He cast out demons by his words. He raised dead people by his words. By His words He exercised dominion over death and grave. He said to the dead Lazarus: “Lazarus, come forth” and he came back to life after 4 days in the belly of death. He also spoke to the fig tree and it withered off completely. He told disciples you can do it. He said whosoever shall say to mountain to move and mountain will obey. Glory be to God.

Whoever means anybody can do it. Anybody can speak to mountain to move and it will obey. Why? Because man has a dominion mandate from God to rule and reign over everything on earth. But his mouth is the instrument through which he will exercise his dominion. There is power in your mouth. There is dominion in your mouth. There is authority in your mouth. There is breakthrough in your mouth. There is healing and deliverance in your mouth. It is written: “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Proverbs 18:21)

See, there is authority in your tongue. The authority to kill or make alive is in your tongue. God expects you to use the authority and dominion in your tongue to dominate every circumstance of life. He expects you to use your mouth to kill that sickness, disease, poverty and anything you don’t want in your life. He expects to use your mouth to kill and destroy anything or anyone that stand as obstacles to your fulfillment in life. Hear this; it was the mouth of David that killed Goliath not the small stones.

Friends, it is time to release death in your mouth against anything contrary to God’s will for your life. It is time to speak healing, deliverance and health to your body, soul and spirit. It is time to speak prosperity, success and progress to your career, ministry, business and finance. It is time to speak peace to your relationships and marriage. It is time to speak up for God will not speak to your mouth for He has given your dominion over all issues or problem of life. It is whatever you bind on earth that is bound in heaven. It is a spiritual protocol for new covenant believers.

By the grace of God upon my life as a prophet of God, I speak death to every sickness, disease and moving object in your body in Jesus name. I speak death to poverty in your life, family and generation in Jesus name. I speak death to bareness in your marriage in Jesus name. I speak death to joblessness and singleness in your life in Jesus name.

This day I decree and declare life over your life and destiny in Jesus mighty name. I speak life to every dead potential, virtue, ability and gifting in Jesus name.  I speak life to everything that is dead in your life, marriage and body in Jesus name. I speak life and prosperity to your bank account and business in Jesus name. I command miracle money to locate you now in Jesus mighty name. I decree and declare let your life and destiny receive life, progress, direction and prosperity in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

See, One of God’s plans for you to escape the lake of fire is by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour. It is written:

 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” (John 3:36)

Beloved, anyone who does not recognize Jesus Christ as a saviour makes himself a candidate of hell fire. Accepting and believing in Jesus Christ as your saviour is your escape route from hell fire prepared for Satan and his angels. Don’t make yourself a waste. God has not created you to be a waste, refuse to follow the devil. He did not create you for the lake of fire. You are the one that will determine where you will end it either with Him or with Satan.  Satan has nothing to offer you now than temporal comfort but eternal sorrow and pain eternally.

You are from God and you are expected to return to Him after your assignment in the earth. You have a temporal abode here on earth. You are from above; refuse to perish with the devil below.

 Honey, if you think it is too late, God thinks nothing is beyond redemption. No matter how cruel and wicked you are, you are not beyond redemption. Jesus Christ died for the wicked and bad people like you if you think you are one. He didn’t die for good people.  It is written: “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

When He came to the world, he was looking for the wicked people in order to turn them from their wickedness to righteousness. Don’t allow the devil to brainwash you that you are not redeemable. It is only people in the grave that are beyond redemption but as long as you are alive, you aren’t beyond redemption. Give your heart to God today through our Lord Jesus Christ. If you want to give your life to God through our Lord Jesus Christ, please say this prayer along with me:

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I recognize myself today as a sinner that needs your mercy, I now ask that you forgive me all my sins and wash me clean in the blood of the Lamb of God. I take you at your word. I confess that Jesus is Lord and I believe in my heart that you raised Him from the dead. Thank you for coming into my heart, for giving me your Holy Spirit as you have promised, and for being my Lord. Amen
