PURPOSE OF LOVE

  PURPOSE OF LOVE Romans 5:6-11 Devotional:- “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us..” (V. 8). NKJV Sometimes we make such a mistake as loving only our lovers. We do not often think that by this we fulfill the Law of Moses and not the law of grace, loving only those who love us and probably hating those who hate us. But this is not true love. If you understand the purpose of love, you will know that love is not needed when everyone is perfect, but most needed because we are not. The scripture we read today demonstrates one of the greatest acts of God’s love to us. And this is a revelation of God’s love to you. Even though you commit sin and He hates sin, yet He loves you. It is for your sake that He sent Jesus, His only son, to die on the cross. See, people may hate you for one reason or another, but God loves you. He so much believed in you that He had to give up His son to die for your sake (1 John 4:9-10...

DOMINION

 DOMINION  

Psalms 8:1-9
Devotional:- “You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet” (V. 6) NKJV

    At creation, man was given dominion over all that God created. This office was at that time a terrifying one for other creatures and even the devil. (Psalms 8.6; Psalms 110:1-3). It was this office that the devil was after that he had to deceive man and steal. You will observe that man was the last creature of God (Genesis 1:26). Yet he was made to have dominion over all that existed before him. The devil saw this as partiality on the side of God. He did not know that though man was the last creation yet the finest. The man was finally created to be in charge of all creation.

Since the devil was cast to the earth, he has been dreaming of taking over and ruling it. Since he was not aware of God’s agenda of creation, he was shocked to see God creating another one like God and may likely be a ruler. God gave dominion to man, and the devil was not pleased. Dominion interprets rulership and authority over others. It is also a legal permission to dominate others and determine activities in their lives. The government of each country exercises dominion over the people. You don’t need to like them, but you must obey them. This is your true nature.

Friend, you have dominion over all forces and authority. It is sin that devalues the strength of man. Don’t put on a defeated mentality. Don’t let your situation determine your mindset but the word of God. Do you know that the almighty God is in you? (1 Corinthians 3:16). He that is in you, is greater than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Wake up and take over in the name of Jesus. Gain back your authority by believing the word of God and let the Holy Spirit always guide your steps (John 5:30). Stand against pain, sickness, sorrow, failure, and frustration in your life. Our dominion is not only over the animals but also over all the powers of the enemy (Luke 10:19). By the name of Jesus, even the angels are at alert to execute your words (Hebrews 1:14). Refuse to be destroyed by your challenges. Arise over it and win.

PRAYER: LORD, RELEASE MY LIGHT OF DOMINION TO ME.

“DOMINION IS THE HERITAGE OF RULERS, TAKE YOURS”
