REIGNING WITH JESUS
For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.
1
Corinthians 15:225
Jesus
is Lord and He reigns in heaven and on earth. He is in heaven and here on earth
He is in us the church. In heaven He reigns by Himself and here on earth He
reigns through us. Here on earth we are the ones carrying out His will and
setting things in order.
Here
on earth we are reigning with Jesus, we reign through Him. He has given us
authority and put all things under our feet. He is the One directing us on what
to do and how to do it and where to go and when to go. He is the head of the
church.
And
He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead, that in all things He may have preeminence.
Colossians
1:18
Others
are reigning with Him in Christian television, others are reigning with Him in
politics, others are reigning with Him in education, others are reigning with
Him in music, others are reigning with Him in business, etc. You must find your
place where you can reign with Him, as He said, “do business till I come.”
…’Do
business till I come.’
Luke
19:13
For
you to reign with Jesus you have to die to yourself and let Him live through
you. You have to pick up your cross and follow Him. You have to crucify the
flesh. You have to die to the flesh daily.
I
affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die
daily.
1
Corinthians 1:31
So
spend time with Him through prayer and Scriptural meditation. When you do that
you crucify the flesh, you mortify the deeds of the flesh by the Spirit. Then
you can say together with Paul it is no longer I that lives by Christ lives in
me. You can reign with Jesus, you can reign through Him.
For
if by one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who
receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life
through the One, Jesus Christ.
Roman
5:17
Though
of the day: I can reign in life through Jesus Christ.
Confession:
I am reigning with Jesus.
