OPEN HEAVENS DEVOTIONAL: THURSDAY 30TH MARCH 2017- SEASON OF DOMINION

Memorise: He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. Psalm 72:8
Read: Psalm 72:4-9
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
5 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth.
7 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
8 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.
Bible in one year: 37-38, Jeremiah 4:19-31

1. Beyond fruitfulness, part of the first mandates of God to mankind is to subdue and have dominion over all creatures He has made. Genesis 1:28 says, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
2. To dominate is to be in charge or to take control.
3. If God did not want you to take charge, He would not have mandated you to dominate.
4. By the time God stepped into the appalling slavery situation of the Israelites, Pharaoh, who was once in control, became the one begging for help (Exodus 12:30-32). He even asked Moses to pray for him.
5. In that situation where you have been the underdog, God is turning things around and putting you in charge in Jesus’ Name.
6. It is now time for you to suppress your oppressors and tormentors, and to subdue under your feet those who had earlier taken you captive. I command the tables to turn for your good today in Jesus’ Name!
7. Meanwhile, it is good to know that since God has once turned around the situation of the oppressed, He can do it again.
8. Even if nobody has ever had dominion before in your family, it will start with you.
9. Fear not! In Joshua 10:12-14, while fighting the Amorites, the sun was about to set when Joshua interrupted it.
10. The problem is that most of us run from the enemy rather than confront him. David did not run away from the lion, the bear or even Goliath. Rather, he confronted and fought against them all.
11. In January of a particular year, I went to preach in Denver, Colorado. At that time it was very cold, and I don’t like it cold. Maybe that is partly why God made me a Nigerian. I prefer the Nigerian weather. On receiving the invitation, I asked my Daddy if I should go, and He said yes. I asked Him, “What are we going to do about the cold?” God then assured me that He would go with me.  From the first day I arrived until the day I left, people were wearing T-shirt because summer replaced winter. To know that this was not just a coincidence, within two hours after my plane took off at 5pm, more than 10cm of snow fell.
12. You too can tap into God’s mandate to dominate situations and circumstances around you from today.
13. You will dominate sin, your passions, your body and your finances from today in Jesus’ Name.

The word of God is established once it’s spoken. To this end either we function in it or not it stands unchanged. We are fashioned to dominated by God and this dominion cuts across the sea, the air and every living thing that moveth upon the earth. To every child of God who believes, dominion should be our life. This is because Christ has been set in God’s right hand in heavenly places “far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.” We are sitting with Christ in dominion over all as stated in the above scripture. Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I pray our eyes of understanding shall be enlightened that we may fully dominate here on earth in Jesus name. This is an eye opener and may the vessel through which this revelation came be blessed in Jesus name.

Prayer Point
Father, because it is my season of dominion, please arise and subdue all contrary forces working against me.
HYMN
1 Through the love of God our Saviour,
all will be well.
Free and changeless is his favour,
all, all is well.
Precious is the blood that healed us,
perfect is the grace that sealed us,
strong the hand stretched forth to shield us,
all must be well.
2 Though we pass through tribulation,
all will be well.
Ours is such a full salvation,
all, all is well.
Happy, still in God confiding,
fruitful, if in Christ abiding,
holy, through the Spirit’s guiding,
all must be well.
3 We expect a bright tomorrow,
all will be well.
Faith can sing through days of sorrow,
‘All, all is well.’
On our Father’s love relying,
Jesus every need supplying,
in our living, in our dying,
all must be well.
