The Rising - Reigning as gods
Prayers 1. I will abide in my calling in God by the power in the blood of Jesus. 2. The enemy will not bring me down; I will not fall in Jesus name. Text: Psalm 82:6 I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High (NLT).
John 10:34-35 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; (KJV)
You will ascend to your high places in Jesus name.
Every evil conspiracy to pull you down will be frustrated in Jesus name
What does it mean to rise? 1. move from a lower position to a higher one 2. come or go up 3. get up from lying, sitting, or kneeling 4. an upward movement; an instance of becoming higher
May you rise from every lowly undesirable state in Jesus name. I command powers keeping you down to break their hold over you in Jesus name.
What does it mean to reign? 1. To hold royal office; rule as king or queen. 2. The period during which a sovereign rules. 3. To be the best or most important in a particular area or domain. 4. To be the king or queen of a country
We note therefore that only kings and queens reign. Jesus has made you royalty, a king (collectively used for both male and female children of God) so you can reign.
We have previously seen the rising from death to life, and the rising – reigning as kings last week, we are now moving to the third instalment: The rising – reigning as gods.
Who are gods? · a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity. · an adored, admired, or influential person. This level of god does not have the same power and attributes of the Almighty God. The Almighty God has certain attributes that He does not share with us as gods. These include: • Omnipotence (limitless power) • Omniscience (limitless knowledge) • Eternity (God is not bound by time)
Moses is an example of someone who walked in this dimension. God said to him in Exodus 7:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
You can walk as a god upon the earth, and you will walk as a god upon the earth, occupying your rightful position in the name of Jesus. However, in Psalm 11:3, the Bible says If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
If the foundations have been destroyed, are bad, polluted or decayed, you cannot be talking about being raised up, sitting in heavenly places or operating as gods.
Declare this prayer loud and clear: 1. My foundations, receive repair, by the power in the blood of Jesus. 2. My foundation receive healing to carry my ascension to higher grounds and heavenly places in Jesus mighty name.
God has elevated you and made you to sit in heavenly places. Only beings greater than ordinary humans sit in heavenly places. You are one of them by virtue of redemption.
The Bible states in Ephesians 2:6 that: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (KJV) Together with Christ Jesus He also raised us up and seated us in the heavens, (HCSB)
How is this possible - to reign as gods? 1. Through sonship: Accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, you become a child of God the Father. The Bible states in Ephesians 1: 5He predestined us for adoption as His sons through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the Beloved One. 7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.
2. By abiding in righteousness: to seat and continue seating in heavenly places without falling down. Forsaking sin and the ungodly and ungodly attitudes as stated in 2 Corinthians 6: 17“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18And: “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”
3. God chose you by His special election through grace and mercy: The Bible states in 1 Thessalonians 1:4 that knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God.
Additionally in 2 Thessalonians 2:13: But we should always thank God for you, brothers who are loved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning to be saved by the sanctification of the Spirit and by faith in the truth.
How to maintain your godly position: 1. Be godly. Following the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ as enabled by grace and guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Bible states in 2 Peter 3 that: 10But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar, the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and its works will be laid bare. 11Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness 12as you anticipate and hasten the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat. The grace to live a godly life acceptable to God will be granted to you in Jesus name.
2. Occupy till He comes: Maintain your stance in God and maintain the grounds that Jesus has won; endeavor to conquer more and more territory for God. Apply the gifts, talents and resources God has given you for His purpose, the benefit of God’s kingdom and to benefit humanity. In Luke 19:10, the Bible says: And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. May God grant you the grace and enablement to occupy acceptably till Jesus comes in Jesus name.
3. Be prayerful: This will help you to stand and not fall in the face of temptation. Jesus said in Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Pray: Father help me not to faint in the place of prayer. May God strengthen you in the place of prayer and revive your prayer life in Jesus name.
4. Study and meditate on the word of God: The Bible states in 2 Timothy 2:15 that: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Also in Joshua 1:8 that This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Receive the grace to study and meditate on the word of God in Jesus name.
5. Preach His word in season and out of season: The Bible states in 2 Timothy 4:2 that: Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. May the grace and opportunity to preach the word in season and out of season come upon your life in Jesus name.
And as you preach may souls be won into the kingdom of God in Jesus name.
Your fruits will abide till the end in Jesus name.
6. Abide in holiness and righteousness: Helps to sustain your placement in the heavenly realms so that your words matter in the heavenlies and you occupy your rightful place in the heavens and the earth. The Bible states in 1 Peter 1:15-16 that
15But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do, 16for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.
Also holiness is required to see in heavenly places. Without seeing, one cannot operate appropriately in heavenly places.
The Bible says in Hebrews 12:14 that: Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. May God grant you the grace to live in holiness and righteousness in Jesus name.
7. Always remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ when He was leaving: 15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Father, help us to remember your words and apply them always in our lives in Jesus mighty name. Amen!
Prayers 1. I will not lose my sonship and election in God by the power the blood of Jesus. 2. I will occupy appropriately till Jesus comes in the name of Jesus.
