Genesis 1: 26-28
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Do you know who you are?
Do you know the authority that you carry?
You are created in the image of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Anything that is here on earth is under your authority. Whether it is an animal or a weather conditions, they all are under your authority. You were given dominion by God, authority to rule over all things. Here on earth, Christians are being subdued by what they are supposed to subdue.
Attacks and situations cannot be in charge of your life, yet you are the one in charge of everything here on earth. The spiritual attacks are under your authority, they have to bow down to you. When you speak to poverty, it must listen to you, for it is under your authority.
Where is the kingdom of the devil? It is here on earth.
Who is in charge of the earth? Us .
Who has authority and dominion? It is us.
Since you have the authority and the dominion, they why are demons dominating in your life?
You do not know who you are. The devil knows that the moment a child of God becomes aware of the authority they have from God, they will be in charge and he (the devil) would be trampled upon. This is the reason why, when you are reading and meditating upon the Word of God, the devil comes to distract you. This is his way of making sure that the children of God remain not knowing whom they are, and the authority which is locked inside of them. You are poweful people, carrying power that you are not using. You are supposed to take authority in the image that you were created in. Take your position, let power be demonstrated, stand in your position and prove that you know who you are.
The Word of God is quick and powerful, thus says the Lord. When you pray, you release the power.
The earth is in your hands. You are the salt of the earth. Every mineral, every type of soil is under your authority. It is not God who is supposed to speak to your possessions, instead, you are the one who is supposed to speak to them. You must take authority because all the things are under you. If you know who you are, you need to know that when you speak or command a situation, you speak from the Spirit and that situation will listen to you. Each and everything that is here on earth, must listen to you whenever you speak to it. Some situations demand you to be aware of the worth that you carry. You were given the earth to rule it. You are in charge.
You carry amazing authority. You need to use the authority that God gave you. Do not run to block the Spirit of God. If someone approaches you and discusses a great idea with you, that is your level. You hinder yourself from entering that level by judging yourself. Through the discussion of that idea, that individual would have confirmed your level, thus after the confirmation, you are supposed to think outside the box.
Everything that has come to your ears, that is your level. However, what limits you is the fact that you judge yourself and you prophesy your future in a negative manner. You are a prophet of your life, exercise your authority. Everything is under your authority.
Matthew 8: 23-27
Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
............................................
The sea was raging, the winds were blowing and Jesus rebuked them to be still and they obeyed his Word proving that Jesus had the authority to command nature. Just like Jesus, you also have the same authority to command nature. If you are created in the image of God, the likeness of God, you have the same authority to command nature.
Why are you fearful?
The devil uses fear to reduce you and the authority that you carry. The devil is like a barking dog enclosed in a cage, he presents situations that instill fear into your heart. What makes you to fail to command nature to listen to you is because you operate with fear inside you. Everything starts in the spirit. Anyone who moves confidently, without any fear inside them will succeed. Anything done out of fear will lead to failure.
If you want to succeed in life, deal away with fear.
The reasons why most people remain poor consist of the following:
1) Rich people do not fear debts, they have debts which obligate them to pursue more.
2) Rich people are not scared of failure whilst the poor are.
3) Poor people are afraid of tarnishing their names, they want to maintain a good name. If you want to die poor, maintain a good name. Do not be afraid of having a bad name, when you succeed, you will get a good name.
The size of your faith will determine what you will achieve here on earth. Do not be a person of little faith. Let your belief in God's Word never be moved by anything. No situation should let you confess otherwise. A person of little faith, confesses that their situation is beyond them and it cannot be changed.
If you are sick, remember the sick man by the pool of Bethesda who had been sick for thirty-eight years, he did not leave the side of the pool because he had belief. The one who sets the time for your breakthrough and healing is God. Never allow time to cheat your faith.
Time is a tool also used by the devil to cheat you to the extent of making you complain about the stagnancy of your situation. Whatever situation you are in, the longer it takes, let your Faith increase.
Matthew 12:35
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things
............................................
What makes you to be referred to as a good man is the treasure in your heart not the name. What makes one to be considered as a good man is because of what he carries inside his heart. The dominion that a child of God carries is supported by the treasure the heart carries. What matters the most is the treasure your heart carries. You cannot command a situation to obey you, yet you are carrying sin inside you. The authority that you carry as a Child of God is brought forth by one force, which is the treasure that you carry in your heart.
The greatest treasure that your heart must carry is Love. If you do not have love, you are empty and you have no power to command nature. The weakest person on earth is a person without love.
Joshua 10: 12-13
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel:
“Sun, stand still over Gibeon;
And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 So the sun stood still,
And the moon stopped,
Till the people had revenge
Upon their enemies.
............................................
Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day
Joshua was an ordinary man, born of ordinary parents. Just like you, he was a man who would fall short of the glory of God. Same as you, he would hear from God yet he managed to command nature and it obeyed him. Anyone who listens to the Word of the Bible, hears from God. If you read the Bible and you listen to it, you would have heard from God. We need christians that will command nature to obey them. We have the power and the authority to command nature but
we take it lightly. Go and exercise your authority. Know who you are. Amen.
