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.
