RULING IN THE MIDST OF YOUR ENEMIES
SEEDS OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
SUNDAY, 18TH DECEMBER 2016.
TOPIC: RULING IN THE MIDST OF YOUR ENEMIES
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 110:1-2
“The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.
The Lord shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies!”
MEMORY VERSE: Psalms 110:1
DIGGING DEEP: This is a Messianic Psalm, it refers to Jesus. Matthew 22:43-45 (ESV) Jesus spoke about Himself "He said to them, “How is it then that David, in the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying,
If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” Understand that anything that relates to Jesus relates to us as believers because we are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17).
Our text says that "The Lord said to my Lord..." can also read the Lord said to me and to you "sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool." What does this implies?
1) YOUR POSTURE: God says "sit." This signifies the position of rest, authority, and a state of dominion. Ephesians 2:6 says that "And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms..."
2) YOUR POSITION: The right hand of the Lord is the place of power and does mighty things. It is the place of honour, dominion and riches. It is the place of blessings and grace. And this is what should characterize your life.
3) YOUR PROCESS: "Until I make" speaks of process. God has to work it out in you and on your enemies. Don't just talk like it, prepare for it. Develop yourself, train, build capacity, grow. For as long as the heir remains a child, he differs not from a slave! (Galatians 4:1-2).Your victory is in your growth!
4) YOUR OPPOSITION: "Your enemies." The truth is that you don't have to focus on your opposition but focus on the position God has placed you. Your opposition are the ladder into your rulership.
5) YOUR OPERATION: "Rule thou in the midst of your enemies". God does not want you to behave cowardly and naively in the midst of your opposition but want you to rule in the midst of your enemies. The mantle on your life is to rule.
I pray for you today rule in the midst of your enemies in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord any enemy within and without I rule over them in the name of Jesus'
