DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: IT’S By RESPONDING AND NOT BY REACTING!
“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.
You are RESPONSIBLE for what you BECOME by how you handle what happens to you in life day by day. You can choose to stand on your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION through Christ Jesus stead, and in RESPONDING to matters with godly living, or you can go about REACTING – complaining, blaming, nagging, etc., thereby walking away from your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, that gives you the enabling to have leverage in an onward and upward trajectory over your challenges and difficulties irrespective of the source and cause.
KNOW FOR CERTAINTY THAT YOUR RESPONDING MUST BE BY THE WORD – IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE AND MORE – OTHERWISE YOU ARE REACTING AND GOD’S WORD BECOMES INOPERATIVE FOR YOU IN THAT CONTEXT.
Sometimes, someone might’ve brought you down to the ditch or valley you are in right now -maybe to use you for selfish gains or hurt your progress – but YOU must know you are RESPONSIBLE to rise above it. Don’t stay in REACTING Mode, MOANING, COMPLAINING, NAGGING and even hurting yourself for nothing over the event, with no scriptural progress, just standstill and regrets. Meanwhile, there’s a lavished opportunity to be an overcomer, triumphant, victorious, and a more than conqueror – that’s embedded in your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION, awaiting you to turn the bad to good, to turn the mess to a message, turn test to testimony, and failure to success.
“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your MOUTH, but you shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that you may OBSERVE to do according to all that is WRITTEN in it. For then YOU will make your way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS “ Joshua 1:8/NKJV
You can make a great DIFFERENCE in yourself when you choose to RISE UP RESPONSIBLY above your circumstances in grace. RESPONDING to life matters by your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION instead of REACTING is the lifeline to DEMONSTRATE and MAKE your DISTRACTOR wrong, and to BECOME an ACHIEVER in and through the MIDST of any situation that brought or kept you low previously. I know what I am saying, and I pray you get it right too.
YOU CAN – RESPOND TO GROW FLOWERS OTHERWISE REACT TO GROW WEEDS – IT’S YOUR CHOICE AND YOUR CALL TO MAKE.
You may not control your opponents’ ATTITUDES and challenges around you, but you are RESPONSIBLE for your ATTITUDES that define your ALTITUDE. Do life with your DOMINON rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, tackling MATTERS effortlessly with God’s word, standing steadfast in Christ Jesus, achieving greatness with God in an effortless condition of His grace and BLESSEDNESS toward your circumstances.
If you MUST live in DOMINION, I say again, if you MUST live through DOMINION in REDEMPTION, you must be prepared to RESPOND in grace rather than REACT to daily circumstances driven by fleshly DEMANDS. Give no OXYGEN to the ENEMY and COHORTS and circumstances’ demands. Your realm in REDEMPTION is a mystery to all, and I hope and pray you know it for yourself without PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION.
RESPONDING to MATTERS under the sun with your Dominion rights and privileges in REDEMPTION makes you mature, wise, and CALCULATING – like an Eagle to the prey, taking down the ENEMY and Cohorts. You SOAR IN DOMINION IN REDEMPTION, taking circumstances unaware, in grand style. But REACTING makes you cheap, unwise, and vulnerable to circumstances, to the enemy and cohorts’ intent, making you their PREY and VICTIM – which isn’t good for you, when you OUGHT to be soaring.
Let’s learn from our Lord Jesus’ grand STYLE, WISDOM that brought the devil and cohorts down for our DOMINON IN REDEMPTION – Our Father God offered us His graciousness, endowed and endued us lavishly with the Holy Spirit of promise in Christ Jesus – thereby enabling us to live and walk fully in life and godliness UNRESERVEDLY, UNAPOLOGETICALLY and UNCOMPROMISINGLY.
“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are PERFECT [MATURE, WHOLE, COMPLETE]: yet not the WISDOM of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY , even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ORDAINED before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE of the PRINCES of this world KNEW: for had they KNOWN it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.
“Such hope [in God’s PROMISES] never DISAPPOINTS us, because God’s LOVE has been abundantly POURED [LAVISHED] out within our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN [ENDOWED, ENDUED] to us” Romans 5:5.
RESPONDING IS A MAJOR ACT TO WINNING WAYS IN LIFE – NOT BY REACTING TO PROVE A POINT. RESPONDING IS BY THE WORD – IN KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE, NOTHING MORE.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 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” Genesis 1:26-28.
“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more DOMINION over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:8-14.
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the WORKS of thy hands; thou hast put all things UNDER his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.
“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the PRINCES of this WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.
