I made up my mind a long time ago to reign in life. You also can be resolved to do the same. The apostles Paul and Silas were imprisoned for casting out a demon spirit in Philippi. Even with their hands and feet fast in stocks, they were still reigning, Hallelujah! The Bible says, “…at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God…” (Acts 16:25) and the power of God broke the chains off their hands and feet and threw the prison doors wide open. You can also reign, discouraging circumstances notwithstanding.
In Proverbs 8:16, Wisdom says, “By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.” This isn’t referring to the wisdom of the world but that which is of God. It is walking in the insight of truth beyond facts, and it comes by the Word of God. In 2 kings 6:1-7, the axe-head some young prophets borrowed for use fell into the Jordan river. Prophet Elisha simply cut a stick and threw it in the water where the axe-head had dropped and the axe-head floated! How in the world did he know it would work? This man walked in the insight of truth beyond facts.
It may be a fact that your disease is incurable, it may be a fact that you’re bankrupt, it may be a fact that you’re failing in your academics, but all these aren’t the truth. So, what’s the truth about your situation? God’s testimony as declared in His Word is the truth: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree…by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24); “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19); “I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation” (Psalm 119:99). Look beyond the facts and reign through the truth of God’s Word today.
