Romans 5:17 (KJV) “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.)”
The reason the lion in the jungle rules over the animal kingdom is not because lions are the biggest in masses or physical strength but because lions are lions, they have a mentality of rulership and dominion. It is embedded in their nature; it’s their true identity.
Somebody said no matter how bad the economy in the jungle is, you will never find lions eating grass. Do you know we hailed from the lineage of the lion of the tribe of Judah. Revelation 5:5 EHV. We are kings; we don’t weep. Instead we reign over circumstances. As a Christian, you ought to know that you have a nature of rulership just as the lion of the tribe of Judah. Hallelujah.
Our opening verse lets us know that as Kings, we reign through righteousness. When you awake to the nature of righteousness, you stop crying in face of adversity and adversaries. Now you understand that all things are working together for your good (Romans 8:28) because of righteousness.
Reigning in life means victory over fear, lack, sin, and sickness. Righteousness places you above circumstances. Therefore, as a Christian, be conscious of your nature in Christ the same way lions are in the jungle. The Bible says; “God has put us in charge of his handcrafted world.” Psalm 8:6 (MSG)
Authority flows as a product of revelation. When righteousness is understood, dominion is expressed. Ephesians 2:6 KJV. Reign today—this is your inheritance. You are a victor; therefore, reign in life by the reason of your nature as King. Revelation 5:10 (KJV)
CONFESSION
I reign in life through righteousness. I walk in God-given authority. Grace empowers my dominion. I rule over circumstances and Christ’s victory is my daily experience in Jesus’ name, Amen.
