YOU REIGN IN LIFE BY JESUS

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
Main Text: Main text: Ephesians 2:6-7

In Ephesians 2:6-7, the Bible says we’ve been raised up together, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; so that in the ages to come, God might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

After the resurrection of Christ, He ascended to Heaven, sat on the throne, and a new life in Christ began. Now, we’re seated with Him. God enthroned us with Christ in the heavenly realms.

Another important word to note in Ephesians 2:6-7 is “through,” in the phrase, “through Christ.” It’s translated from “en” (Greek), and it means “in.” We operate in the earth in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 3:21 says, “Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” It’s all happening here with us.

This is why we can’t fail. We’ve got to do everything He’s called us to do in this time. If we don’t recognize this reality, we won’t be able to take advantage of it, but now, we reign through Him. This is the time of the Church. If you don’t reign in Christ now, when are you going to fulfil it?

Use the authority He’s given you to dominate your world. This is your time. You’ve been saved to sit with Him. You were born to exercise dominion over Satan and the circumstances of life! Whatever comes against you in life, take charge and reign over it through your faith declarations in the power of the Spirit.

Confession:
I’m trained in the way and life of righteousness, and equipped for greatness. I’ve received grace to reign over circumstances and walk in dominion over and above Satan and the elements of this world. I’m in charge, for I’m seated with Christ in the place of power and dominion. Hallelujah!
