You must decide to have control of the circumstances of your life. You must make up your mind to have dominion in life. But to do this, you cannot afford to operate or walk in the flesh, because control is a force that emanates from your spirit.
God has given you authority and you must make use of it. If you don’t take control, somebody else will, and usually it always is the wrong person. If you don’t guard your territory, someone will come and run you out of it. The Bible says to guard your heart with all diligence for out of it proceed the forces of life (Proverbs 4:23). If you have a garden you don’t tend, weeds will grow in it and before long it will begin to look like a bush. You must constantly remove those weeds as they shoot up. Satan, the god of this world system, constantly seeks to destroy your beautiful garden by planting weeds there when you’re not watching. That’s why you cannot afford to drop your guard; you must always be in control.
As a believer, what has God put you in control of? The Bible says in Revelation 1:5-6, that Jesus is the Prince of the kings of the earth, and He has made us kings and priests unto God His Father. Romans 5:17 also says, through Him we reign as kings in this life, not in the life to come. This means God has put us in control of the earth. Wherever you are on the face of the earth, you should be in control. Even in places where you are not physically present, you can still exercise control through God’s divine power that has been invested in you.
