DOMINION DOESN’T COME CHEAP
Dec. Week 2 Original Intent VII
Then David and his men, [which were] about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth. 1 Samuel 23:13
After David had been anointed to reign as King over Israel, the succession plan was not as smooth as we would expect God to make it happen. Before he became King, he had to escape several times for his life. It is instructive to note that, not everybody will strive for a life of dominion because dominance comes with a great price. David paid a price. The journey to dominion does not take place overnight. It is a lifelong journey of fruitfulness and multiplicity. God expects us to exercise dominion, by taking over the spheres and the realms entrusted unto us. Filling every spot with our produce until it is taken over by the work of our hands. The question at this stage is; are we dominating in our sphere of influence with the potential that we have been blessed with? It is quite astounding the number of people who seek promotions in this life’s journey but are not ready to take up the mantle of responsibility in adequately preparing themselves to go through the prerequisite needed for a life of dominance. They rather prefer God to show up and say to them in a deep voice, ‘wake up my son, I have given Tullow Oil Company to you,’ but you see, the good news is that in the Christian life, it is neither our power nor our might but by His Spirit says the Lord. Do not depend on your own strengthen to make it in this life, depend on God to reign in life. God bless you.
Prayer:
Dear Father Lord, I recognise that it is not by my power or by my might but by your spirit, reign through me dear Lord, reveal your glory through me dear Lord, manifest your power through me dear Lord and increase the works of my hand in Jesus Name. Amen
