Yielding To The Dominion Of The Word
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and
to the word of his grace, which is able to build
you up, and to give you an inheritance among all
them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32).
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what has
happened to you; if you’d let the Word have the
dominion in your life, you’ll walk in absolute victory in
all circumstances. In yielding to the dominion of the
Word, there’re certain fundamentals to note; these are
knowledge, meditation, and faith proclamations.
First and foremost, you must know the Word, and
let it guide your thoughts, words and actions. In Hosea
4:6, God said, “My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge….” He wasn’t talking about their lack of
general knowledge, but the knowledge of the Word.
Only your knowledge of the Word can guarantee your
success, progress and prosperity. That’s why He wants
you to study. Refuse to be ignorant; give yourself to the
Word. John 8:32 says, “And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free.”
Secondly, you must meditate on the Word; keep it
in your heart and in your mouth. Through meditation,
the Word mingles with your spirit, producing in you
the message it carries. Joshua 1:8 says, “This book
of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but
thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou
mayest observe to do according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.” Through
meditation, you bring yourself under the influence and
power of the Word; you’re transformed, and your spirit
is energized for victory.
Lastly, be bold to make your faith proclamations.
Believing what God says and confessing the same will
change your life. When sickness or fear tries to attack
you, respond by affirming what God has already said
concerning you in His Word. Declare aloud, “I have
the life of God in me! I’m more than a conqueror; I’m
a victor in Christ Jesus! No weapon fashioned against
me shall prosper, because I dwell in Christ!”
This is how you subject yourself to the dominion
of God’s Word, to ensure its power is manifested in
your life.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the glorious life you’ve given
me in Christ! My life is the revelation of your grace, power,
love, and righteousness. Your Word is working in me mightily,
producing fruits of the divine life. I live in health, supernatural
abundance, perpetual victory, and joy, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
