DAILY DOMINION!
Today's Thought: THE MAKING OF KINGS (3)!
"He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions" (Psalm 107:20 KJV).
Today's scripture unveils another side of our divine nature as kings. We are made kings to reign like God on the earth. The King of kings does not go to work but His Word works. He only sends His Word to perform mighty works. In like manner, we are to learn what makes His Word to work. Psalm 103:20 says: "Bless the Lord , ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word". That's the code: angels act at the command of our High King, to execute His Word.
Peter and his friends had toiled in vain all night, then the King of kings, Jesus showed up to show us how King reigns. After using Peter's boat to preach, he was ordered to let down his nets into the deep, contrary to the science of fishing. Peter threw the net and caught net-breaking, boat-sinking order of fish harvest (Luke 5:2-7). At the Word of Jesus, angels went into action to direct fish into the net. We have angels at our services, according to Hebrews 1:14. Put your angels to work, you don't need to struggle for things in life. Give the angels commands by speaking Word of faith. Angel shut the mouths of lions in their den for Daniel (Daniel 6:22). 'The King's Word is the King's Worth, Enhance Your Worth by Putting your Angels to Work, as a King on the Earth'. Act now!
Ponder on this: The King Does not Go to Work but His Word Works!
Remember: THE KING'S WORD IS THE KING'S WORTH, ENHANCE YOUR WORTH BY PUTTING YOUR ANGELS TO WORK, AS A KING ON THE EARTH! Have a wonderful weekend.

Today's Thought: THE MAKING OF KINGS (2)!
"Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou? (Ecclesiastes 8:4 KJV).
One of the things that make a king is his word. The word of a king is the law, decree, order and cannot be altered or changed. We are made kings and priests to reign in life (Rev. 5:10). Our reigning is in our words not merely our works, because the King's word is the King's worth. Whatever a king says is final. Be careful what you say to yourself, because it is bound to be. In the beginning, God said: Let there be light and there was light (Gen. 1:3). As His image and likeness, our word essentially determines our world.
The Israelites died in the wilderness, because they confessed death and only their children made it to the promised land. Jesus and His disciples were in the ship and there was a great storm, but the King of kings was sleeping. They woke Him up, shouting: don't you care we perish! He arose, rebuked the wind and said: 'Peace, be still...., and there was a great calm' (Mark 4:39). At that incidence, they were filled with the word 'Perish', while He was filled with the word 'Peace'. Learn to fill your mind with the Word of God, because the Word in you determines the world around you. Speak what you want, to see what you want. Kings speak power; don't speak defeat, weakness or failure but speak victory, strength and success in life.
Ponder on this: The Word in You determines the World around You!
Remember: OUR REIGNING IS IN OUR WORDS NOT MERELY OUR WORKS, BECAUSE THE KING'S WORD IS THE KING'S WORTH! Have a glorious day.

DAILY DOMINION!
Today's Thought: THE MAKING OF KINGS (1)!
"And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth" (Revelation 5:10 KJV)
The reason for mediocrity and low self esteem in life is traceable to lack of understanding of personal identity. The reason Christ came was to remake us who we were created to be in the beginning. Man was made in the image of God and His likeness. After the fall of Adam and Eve, that identity was lost, and devil that was a subject to man became a threat and tomentor to humanity. Glory to God for the coming of Jesus Christ. When He came, the first statement, He made was: Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.
To repent means to change your thinking pattern. It does not mean to be sorry for sin, as it has been thought to be. 'Re' means again, while 'pent' means topmost top. We are to think of our topmost top that we belong in life. Man was both created and formed. He was first spiritual before physical. This implies: we must be spiritually transformed before our physical being and environment can change. We are change agents but our uniqueness will not manifest until we are changed spiritually. Our spirit man must be made alive by the Word of God, before we enjoy live to the fullness till overflow.
Ponder on this: Your Making determines Your Reigning in Life!
Remember: WE ARE CHANGE AGENTS BUT OUR UNIQUENESS WILL NOT MANIFEST UNTIL WE ARE CHANGED SPIRITUALLY! Have a glorious day.

Today's Thought: THE KINGDOM MYSTERY!
" And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables" (Mark 4:11 KJV).
We are made to reign in life, according to the scripture in Rev. 5:10. If we are created for kingship, and if Jesus came to the earth to restore the kingship we lost, and if we want to be prepared to resume our rightful place as kings, then we had better learn what it means to be king and how a king relates to his kingdom. This is important both for teaching us how to think, speak, and behave like rulers and for teaching us how to relate properly to God, our High King.
The first thing we need to know and understand, according to today's scripture, is the kingship mentality. We are made kings to rule. A king is the central component of his kingdom. You are in charge of the affairs of your life, not the devil, not the economy, not the government, not the enemies. Take your stand and decree your desires in faith but not in fears, because 'all things are yours' (1 Corinthians 3:21). Kings don't bow, refuse to bow to that situation. Jesus, the King of kings issues decrees while on the earth, to show us how to reign in life. You are a king, don't bow for circumstances, rather circumstances must bow to you in life. Change your thinking pattern, think like a king.
Ponder on this: The Kingdom Mystery is the Master Key to Reign in Life!
Remember: YOU ARE A KING, DON'T BOW TO CIRCUMSTANCES, RATHER CIRCUMSTANCES MUST BOW TO YOU IN LIFE! Have a glorious day.

Today's Thought: MADE TO REIGN!
" And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." (Revelation 5:10 KJV).
Yes, we are made to reign on the earth. Winning, ruling and reigning is our identity in Christ Jesus. That's why He is called the King of kings; we were made kings like Him on the earth. He reign forever; we reign with Him now. The above scripture declares who we are in this world. If you don't know who you are, you will answer who you are not. The singular purpose of Jesus' coming to the world, is to make us kings so as to rule our world through Him.
Apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:5). But we need to understand the concept of the Kingdom of God, so we can reign with ease. We have a Kingdom not a religion. Religion is about rites to please God, but Kingdom is about right to reign on earth. Kingdom has three components: 'King, Domain and Dominion'. That's why God said to man in the beginning: let them have dominion (Genesis 1:26). Who you are is king (Christ-like), where you are is in Christ on the earth (domain) and what you have is dominion (right to rule). We are made to rule, dominate our world by the Word of God. The Word of God, Jesus Christ, has made us unto our God kings and priests, to reign on the earth.
Ponder on this: You are Made to Rule Your World by God's Word!
Remember: THE WORD OF GOD, JESUS CHRIST, HAS MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS, TO REIGN ON THE EARTH! Have a glorious week.

(Kingdom Realities Today Series)
Unveiling the Kingdom of God
Kingdom: Original Intent of the Creation (PART 1)
The Plan, Purpose and Pursuit of the Kingdom of God:
Kingdom is the Creator's primary purpose and motivation for His human creatures. Specifically, a kingdom is the sovereign rulership and governing influence of a king over his territory, impacting it with his will, his intent, and his purpose, manifesting a culture and society reflecting the King's nature, values and morals.
"In the beginning, God made the heaven and the earth" (Genesis 1:1).
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth" (Genesis 1:26 KJV).
"The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's : but the earth hath he given to the children of men" (Psalm 115:16 KJV).
"For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods" (Psalm 95:3 KJV).
"Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: [6] And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel" (Exodus 19:5-6 KJV).
The above scriptures established the plan of God for creation. He is a great King and made man in His image and likeness as king to rule the earth. Dominion is the purpose of man's creation.
God established His priority at the beginning of creation and made it clear by His own declaration to mankind. Jesus Christ came to the earth and reestablished God's number-one priority. During His first discourse introducing His primary message and mission, Jesus established God's priority for all mankind with several powerful and straightforward statements:
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33 KJV).
From the above scripture, God established two priorities for mankind: His Kingdom and His Righteousness.
"The greatest tragedy in life is not death but life without a purpose - life with wrong priorities. Moreover, life's greatest failure is to be successful in the wrong assignment" (Dr. Myles Munroe).
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" (Matthew 7:22-23 KJV).
Christianity as a religion is well-known, well-established, well-studied, and well-distributed; but little or nothing is known about the Kingdom. What Adam lost in the garden of Eden was not a religion but the Kingdom of God that was breathed into him, which made him became a living being, according to Genesis 2:7.
We have a Kingdom: God's government, the government of Heaven, is a Kingdom, and God is the great King. And because His Kingdom extends through all creation, encompassing both the supernatural (heaven) and the natural (earth) realms, it covers us also, which is why we need to understand it.
Summarily:
We have a Kingdom not a religion;
We have a King in Heaven; We are kings on the earth;
We have a Lord in Heaven; We are lords on the earth;
We have a High Priest in Heaven; We are the priests on the earth (Rev.1:6;5:10);
Our God reigns forever; We reign with our God on the earth (Rev. 5:10);
We are Destined for Dominion; The earth is our Domain (Psalm 115:16; Genesis 1:26,28);
Christianity is not a religion; Christianity is a lifestyle of our Kingdom;
Eternal life is a life-giving life; It is about rulership and not a religion;
Christ came to restore the Kingdom and remake us kings and priests to reign on the earth;
Our making is in the pursuit of the Kingdom of God, with all our hearts (Jeremiah 29:13).
That's how far we can go today. Let's make it a date again, next Sunday, on same platform, as the Holy Spirit, the Resident Governor of the Kingdom of God unfolds more on the Kingdom Realities Today Series.
God bless you beyond measures for reading.
