The
authority and power we have are so awesome that when we begin to become
conscious of what they are and who we are in Christ, our lives would take a new
dimension. As kings in God’s Kingdom, we need to know it’s what we decree with
our mouth and backed up by our mental energy and spiritual faith that would
bring results.
Christ has
given us more than enough power and authority to rule on earth as spiritual
kings. The truth we need to know is that the spiritual controls the physical
and if you lack spiritual authority and power, you become ineffective in the
spirit realm which will ultimately give the enemies the upper hand. This is the
sole reason many believers are in serious bondage and it seems God is not as
powerful as they have been made to believe.
“18 Hear, ye
deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. 19
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who
is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord’s servant? 20 Seeing many
things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not. 21 The Lord is well pleased for his
righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. 22 But
this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and
they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a
spoil, and none saith, Restore.” Isaiah 42:18-22
This is the
pathetic state of many today because they failed to come to terms with the
spiritual consciousness of their kingship authority and power. Many are blind
spiritually unable to see their true nature in Christ. They are also deaf
unable to hear and receive instructions on how to exercise their kingdom
rights. The result of ignorance is spiritual slavery.
“But this is
a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are
hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil,
and none saith, Restore” Isaiah 42:22
We have been
empowered to rule in our kingdoms and therefore intruders into the peace of our
domain should be dealt with mercilessly. Even when the enemies surround us, we
don’t fear such because we have angelic body guards watching over us.
”11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was
sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them,
Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? 12 And one of his
servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in
Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy
bedchamber. 13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch
him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan. 14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and
chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city
about. 15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone
forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And
his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 16 And he
answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with
them.
17 And
Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And
the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the
mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” 2 Kings
6:11-17
Elisha knew
who he was. The sole reason he wasn’t afraid of the physical soldiers that came
to arrest him. Though the servant was in a panic mode until his master prayed
to God to open his eyes before he saw the chariots of fire with heavenly
soldiers surrounding the physical carnal soldiers.
If Elisha
could be so confident in the face of physical threat what do you think would be
his disposition to spiritual threats? I leave you to ponder on that.
As spiritual
kings on earth, we have our guards watching and protecting us twenty fours of
the day. But they seem not to be effective because of the level of our
spiritual consciousness and lifestyles in Christ.
”For he
shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Psalm
91:11
“The angel of the Lord encampeth round about
them that fear him, and delivereth them.” Psalm 34:7
“Thinkest
thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more
than twelve legions of angels?”
Matthew 26:5
As kings in
God’s Kingdom, we have massive divine security watching over us twenty hours of
the day. We shouldn’t be afraid of the enemies both physical and spiritual. The
truth is that the enemies should be afraid of us and indeed they are afraid but
they capitalize on our ignorance to make us weaklings.
“This day
will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations
that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall
tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.” Deuteronomy 2:25
”Beginning
today I will make all people throughout the earth terrified of you. When they
hear reports about you, they will tremble with dread and fear.” Deuteronomy
2:25 NLT
Isn’t it
totally absurd when we are afraid of those who should be afraid of us? We have
so much from God but because we are ignorant of our Kingdom status, we play the
fool in life especially in the realm of the spirit.
God has
empowered us with His Spirit which is His power and as such we are too loaded
to fail or be messed up by those puppies from the kingdom of darkness.
