TOPIC: We Reign With Words (Rhapsody of Realities 31 January 2024)

The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion; RULE THOU amid THINE ENEMIES… (Psalm 110:1-2).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today's MESSAGE:

The Hebrew Word translated as "rule" in the opening scripture is "Radah," which is essentially synonymous with "reign." To rule means to exercise dominion and kingly authority. What we read in our opening verses is about Jesus in heaven at the time when He was the High Priest.

That portion unveils some fantastic descriptions of His authority. For example, "the rod of thy strength" essentially means the scepter of His power. It's akin to what we have in Psalm 45:6 (NIV): "Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom."

Hebrews 1:8 also alludes to the same truth concerning Jesus. It says, "But unto the Son, he saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom." This unfolds while He is seated on the throne. How does this apply to us, the new creation in Christ? Revelation 5:10 reveals it. It says, "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth."

How do kings reign? Kings reign with words. The creation story in Genesis chapter one confirms this. God spoke creation into existence. He accomplished everything through the spoken Word. He simply said, and things came into existence.

When Jesus walked the earth, He spoke words. He transformed lives and performed miracles with words. When He said to corpses, they came back to life. His words transmitted and imparted life. We're just like Him. Our words do the same because as He is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

Reign with words. Rule amid your enemies by exercising your divine authority through words.

CONFESSION

I take my place of dominion and reign in the Name of Jesus over circumstances through words. My words are potent, laden with the Spirit's power to produce fruits. I talk about peace, prosperity, wellness, and wholeness in the world's nations, and I declare that salvation spreads quickly into places where the light of the Gospel has been dim, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

Revelation 1:4-6: John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Ecclesiastes 8:4 – Where the Word of a king [is, there is] power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
