EXERCISE YOUR AUTHORITY IN CHRIST

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).

The Lord Jesus gave us power and authority, and you don’t need any special faith to exercise that authority. You don’t need to ‘work up’ faith to exercise your dominion in Christ. Therefore, simply take your place in Christ and “…Resist the devil, and he will flee…” (James 4:7).

Perhaps there have been recurrent cases of sickness or other kinds of challenges with members of your family; exercise your authority! Declare, “Satan, I command you to stop your manoeuvres and operations in my home and amongst my family members, in the Name of Jesus!” Every demon will bow and leave.

Sometimes, in some homes, there could be so much anger—everyone seems to be on edge—tension fills the air and no one knows why. You that are born again in that home should exercise authority over the demon of anger. Find a quiet place to pray, and then say, “You spirit of anger, get out of this home.” You don’t need to shout or jump around; just speak with authority and command the devil to leave.

In Mark 16:17, the Lord Jesus said, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils.…” In Matthew 10:8 He said, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils….” Once you perceive or encounter situations that are caused or influenced by devils, don’t negotiate; exercise the authority that Christ has given you.

Take for example you were in a place where a child suddenly started convulsing or experiencing a bout of seizures; cast the devil out and command it to return no more. Then, declare wholeness and perfection for that child. Jesus gave us absolute dominion over demons and the powers of darkness; therefore, cast them out in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the authority you have given me in Christ Jesus. I declare that I walk in dominion, subduing every work of the enemy. By the power of the Holy Spirit, I exercise authority over every negative circumstance and demonic influence in my life, my home, and my environment. I thank you for the victory that is mine through Christ Jesus, and I live every day in the boldness of this authority, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
