The King's Word II

Tuesday 25 October
READ: Mark 4: 36 -39.NLT
MORE LESSON: Lk. 10:18-19

The evidence of kingship is power. Eccl. 8: 4 says that where the word of a king is, there is power. The sign of kingship is dominion. If we must live as kings we must understand that situations and circumstances are not meant to rule us but we are to rule them. A king rules by the words of his mouth. Jesus showed us how to rule by living the life of a king as an example for us.
In Mark 4:39, Jesus demonstrated the kingly life for us to see. He was in a ship and the waves arose threatening everyone in the ship. The disciples that were in the ship with Him had started to panick and fear for their lives. The Bible makes very clear the life of a king, When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the water, "Silence! Be still!" Mark 4: 39 (NLT). Jesus demonstrated His Kingship over nature by the display of His authority; He commanded the waves to be still. The king doesn't panic in crisis, he speaks calm to the storm. When Jesus spoke like a king to the storm, the Bible says that suddenly the wind stopped; that was the storm that had been proving strong and threatening everyone. However, at one word from the King, order was restored.
It is the same power you have as a king. Jesus said, Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you: Luke 10:19. You have power to rule over demons, sickness, situations and circumstances. This power is exercised by words; you should speak like a king. When you study the life of Jesus our King who we are called to be like; He ruled the world by His words. The Bible says, God hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high: Heb 1:2-3. God made the world by His Word, He sustains the world by His Word and He rules the world by His Word. It is time for you to start ruling as well. Do not speak words of weakness, fear and lack. Speak words of dominion, power and kingship. It is your turn to rule.
