Rule over your Enemies

Friday 5 February
READ: Psa. 110: 1-3
MORE LESSON: Gen 42: 3 - 26

When God wants to give a man rest, He empowers him to reign over his enemies. The Bible clearly expresses in Psa. 110:1-2, which is a prophecy over your life as a member of the body of Christ, that there is a spiritual empowerment that enables a man to rule over his enemies, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies: Psa 110:1-2.
God is determined to give you rest in spite of your enemies. According to the Scripture, God doesn't want to achieve this rest by an annihilation of your enemies: He will not make them to cease to exist, but He will give you rest by making you rule in their midst.
The following are the implications of ruling in the mist of your enemies:
1. You have superiority over your enemies. Just as Jesus prevailed over satan, sin, death and sickness and they can never do Him any harm but they panic and flee at his presence, so also will you prevail over your enemies when God makes you rule over them.
2. Anybody that chooses to be your enemy becomes your slave. When God gives you the rod of strength, any one that chooses to be your enemy has signed up to be your subject. Your enemies may increase because some people will just choose to be your enemies out of envy as the blessings of God increase in your life. but you don't need to worry as enemies abound because you will rule over them. In fact, the more they hate you, the more you rule over them and the longer they choose to be your enemies, the longer your year of reign.
3. You stand while your enemies bow. God will lift you so much that the people who hate you will always have to come to you to beg you for help. This is what God did for Joseph in the Bible; his brothers hated him but they eventually had to bow to him and beg him for food. Anyone that chooses to be your enemy will be for your comfort; they will bow to beg you.
4. It means power to take decisions over your enemies. Your enemies will find themselves at the mercy of your decisions from today. Joseph had the power to decide over his brothers; he even put some of them in prison and later released them at will.
5. It means that the fate of your enemies will be in your hands. From today, the fate of your enemies is in your hands, in Jesus’ name. Rule thou over your enemies.
