RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 2 DECEMBER 2023 TODAY MESSAGE
In Philippians 2:10-11, the Bible says:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Jesus has dominion in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth.
All knees only bow to a king when he is in his domain. The moment he leaves his domain and enters someone else’ domain, he is the one to obey the laws of the king of that place.
For Jesus, the domain given to Him is in heaven, on earth and underneath the earth. That is dominion so mighty that everywhere He goes, the king of that place bows to Him.
He is the King of all kings indeed.
Our Bible reading for today says Jesus has made us kings and priests unto God. Thus, for every child of God, there is a domain that is given to you to rule over.
If you are in finance, you must rule there; in entertainment, you must rule there. Whatever industry you are in, you are to rule as a king there.
Many people think it is only in ministry that you are to represent God – that is not true. You are to represent God in that your field of practice too. You are to be a king there, doing the will of God.
We cannot leave these industries for other people to rule and then complain that they are not doing things God’s way.
We must get up and take our domains for God.
To become the king of your industry, you must be the most hardworking person in that industry; you must be so good that you become a force to be reckoned with in your industry.
This way, you will keep growing until you reach the top, until you become the king or queen of that industry. Only then would you have taken your domain for God.
Enough of mediocrity amongst Christians; enough of staying away from certain things because we consider the people in it ungodly.
Salt is only useful where things are tasteless, light is only useful where there is darkness.
Go into the world and take over your territory.
OPEN HEAVEN 2 DECEMBER 2023 DEVOTIONAL KEY POINT
God would rather have you – a child of His as the leader in that your industry. Put in the work to rise to leadership for His sake.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
1 Corinthians 14-16
HYMN 20: Stand Up! Stand Up For Jesus
1 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer loss:
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict
In this His glorious day.
Ye that are men, now serve Him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger.
And strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you;
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armor,
And, watching unto prayer,
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
4 Stand up! stand up for Jesus!
The strife will not be long:
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song;
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be;
He, with the King of glory,
Shall reign eternally.
