I love this Scripture! It doesn’t say they which receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall beg but they shall reign in life. That means they can’t be defeated, neither can they be overwhelmed.
I want you to note also that the Scripture says they shall reign in life. Do you know we’re not going to reign in heaven? It may shock you but it’s true nonetheless. We’ll go to heaven but we’re not going there to reign. According to the Scriptures, we’re to reign right here on earth over circumstances and situations of this life.
“And (Jesus) hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” (Revelation 5:10). If you’re not already reigning on earth, you will not reign with Jesus during the one thousand years of peace. How do you reign today? Hebrews 11:6 says it’s impossible to please God without faith. Faith comes through the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Therefore, you reign through faith in the Word of God. You reign by living out God’s promises in His Word for you.
You can’t reign on earth without the right information from the Word of God. This is the reason the Scriptures say in Proverbs 11:9 “…through knowledge shall the just be delivered.” Delivered from what, and into what? The just shall be delivered from ignorance into the place of their inheritance in Christ. Therefore the level of the Word that you have in your heart determines the extent of your reign in the earth. So, you must be able to appropriate to yourself God’s blessing in His Word.
Spend time with the Word today. Build your faith strong in God’s Word so you can live and reign on earth as the king that God has made you.
