Reigning Through Words
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one;
much more they which receive abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).
Something important that you must do today
is to meditate on our opening verse until it
becomes a part of your system. The Amplified Classic
Version renders the latter part rather beautifully. It says
those who have received this gift of righteousness shall
reign as kings in life. That’s talking about reigning in the
earth; a kingly life on earth.
Revelation 5:10 says, “And hast made us unto
our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the
earth.” Let’s examine one striking quality of a king in
Ecclesiastes 8:4. It says, “Where the word of a king is,
there is power….” Kings reign with words. You’re a
king; therefore, reign with words. When you command
fear to go, it goes! If you’re attacked by any kind of
sickness, and you call it by name and command it to
go, it’s got to quit! Everything in life has intelligence;
they’re intelligent enough to recognize when the king
gives the word, and that king is YOU!
Can you see why you ought to speak right and never
paralyze your own faith? When you feel symptoms of
sickness or disease in your body, don’t succumb! Just
say the word and effect a change! Every word you say
goes out in the spirit-realm to cause changes.
Jesus said in John 6:63, “…the words that I speak
unto you, they are spirit, and they are life,” and you’re
like Him (1 John 4:17). Refuse to speak empty, idle,
inoperative, nonworking words. Ordinary men may
talk anyhow, but not you! You’re a spiritual man; your
words have creative power.
Take your place of dominion, and reign in the
Name of Jesus over circumstances, through words.
Command every storm to be still in the Name of Jesus.
Refuse the down life. Reign and rule in life as the king
that you are, through words.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the gift of righteousness that gives
me boldness in your presence, and causes me to reign in life
as a king. I speak the right words only, thereby effecting
changes in my family, health, business and ministry. I walk
in righteousness, and produce works of righteousness, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
