Christian Living
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.
The day you made Jesus Lord and Saviour of your life, you were translated from the kingdom of darkness 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 (1 Peter 2:9).
Kings reign and rule kingdoms through words. Their decrees become established and they govern their domains through words. Kings give commands and processes are immediately set in motion for actualization of such commands.
Jesus spoke extensively about the Kingdom of God, making reference to it many times in His teachings and parables. In Matthew 16:19, Jesus reveals the Keys of the Kingdom of God 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.
Words have power. Words are seeds. Decrees are made through words, Judgements are passed through words.
Little wonder Jesus marvelled at the Centurion’s words in Luke 7:7-9. This man understood Ecclesiastes 8:4-5 all too well….there is power in the Words of a king (Ecclesiastes 8:4-5).
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 words/judgement.
Wisdom and discernment help proper use and application of decrees or judgment (Ecclesiastes 8:5). 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). And that is how kings put opposing rulers, powers, principalities under restrain/control (Ephesians 6:12), and how strongholds, arguments and lies are brought to captivity (II Corinthians 10:5).
When we look at Matthew 16:19 again, we see that Heaven is actually waiting on us to issue a faith command, set words of faith in motion, and it will be backed.
Jesus said Whatever YOU bind, I WILL BIND.
The keys of the Kingdom of God …..decrees…..judgements…. communicated through words.
You are royalty; your words have power. Your words are the keys to unlocking every blessing in the Kingdom of God and they are the keys to condemning/refuting everything with semblance to the curse.
Shalom!
