Introduction: True victory isn’t about avoiding conflict; it’s about exercising the authority already granted. We are not just saved by Christ; we are co-heirs with Him. This teaching centers on Romans 5:17: “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.”
I. The Source of Authority (The Word): Authority originates from divine declaration. Our mandate to reign is confirmed, not earned. We activate it by aligning our confession with the Word of God.
II. The Power of the Holy Ghost: The Holy Spirit is the enablement for the reign. He gives us the confidence and the power to enforce God’s will on earth (Acts 1:8).
III. Practical Steps to Reign: 1. Identify the Throne: Your heart is the throne; cast down fear and doubt. 2. Speak the King’s Decree: Use scripture, not circumstance, as your vocabulary. 3. Serve with Compassion: Reigning is leadership through service; true authority impacts society (as per the Mission).
Conclusion: Step into your kingdom identity. You were not created to be a victim, but a victor. |
