Christian Living
The day you got born again by making Jesus the Lord and Saviour of your life, you were delivered from the power of darkness and automatically conveyed into the Kingdom of God and of His dear son Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13). You are a member of the Kingdom of God. You are royalty.
A kingdom is a territory, domain or realm ruled by a king or queen who is the highest authority and who may choose to delegate same as he/she wishes.
Kings reign and rule through words. Their decrees become established and they govern their domains through them. Kings give commands and processes are immediately set in place for actualization of such commands. Kings rule through words.
Little wonder that Jesus marvelled at the Centurion’s words in Luke 7:8.
“Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it. ” When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
Luke 7:7-9 NKJV
This man understood Ecclesiastes 8:4-5 all too well….there is power in the Words of a king..
“Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, “What are you doing?” He who keeps his command will experience nothing harmful; And a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment”
Ecclesiastes 8:4-5 NKJV
Jesus spoke extensively about the Kingdom of God (Heaven), making reference to it many times in His teachings and parables. In Matthew 16:19, Jesus reveals the keys of the Kingdom of God (Heaven) to His disciples…
“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 16:19 NKJV
Decrees are made through words, Judgements are passed through words.
Ecclesiastes 8:5 also speaks of discernment of time and judgement, a wise person understands the right time for decrees and judgment and rightfully sets them in motion. He is not careless or flippant with words. He rightfully applies words as decrees or judgments and no one dares ask him what he is doing.
The keys to unlocking every blessing in the Kingdom of God is in our words/decrees and the keys to condemning/refuting every consequence of the curse is in our word/judgement.
That is how an empty and voidless space became home to plants, animals, man (Genesis chapter 1)
That is how a seed of words becomes a big company/organisation offering employment and source of livelihood to many (Luke 13:18-19)
“Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”
Luke 13:18-19 NKJV
And that is how kings, rulers, powers, principalities are put under restrain/control (Ephesians 6:12), and how strongholds, arguments and lies are brought to captivity (II Corinthians 10:5).
The keys of the Kingdom of God …..decrees…..judgements…. communicated through words.
Loose/unlock your blessings, judge/bind every curse or a semblance of the curse.
