Seeds of Wisdom

Matthew 28:18 – “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ’All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.’”

Jesus Christ has dominion over all things, including men, angels, and demons; things in heaven, on earth and under the earth are subject to Him and obey His voice. We are His representatives and ambassadors on earth. He has given us dominion over all things. He exercises His authority today through us - the Church, which is His body. Ephesians 1:21 tells us that Jesus is seated in the heavenly realms, “Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named above every title that can be conferred, not only … in this world, but also in the age to come.”  Here, the Word “rule”, means two things; first, it means the authority that governs, and secondly, it means the decrees by which they govern. It refers to rulership and its rules. So, it makes no difference what rule has been made, Jesus is far above all rules.  Notice that He is seated, not just above, or near above, but far above all rules.

Philippians 2:9-11 says, wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name. The name of Jesus opens every door. In His name, you have the power to tame the forces of nature and mobilise angels to minister for you. Christ has brought us into a life of extraordinary dominion. We are not victims, but victors in this world. We function in His stead. He gave us the right, the power of attorney to act in His place. As you exercise dominion over circumstances, things must shift!
