How are you doing today? I trust that ur weekend was good. Our power conference was an explosion! I don't even know where to begin. You basically have to check our church website out for the message. It was really powerful. Click here. (It was a 3 day program Fri-Sun, you can only get to listen to Sunday's message).
We have to realise as Christians that we have authority and power embedded in us.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth". Gen 1:26
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen". Mark 16:15-20
Basically "go ye into the world" means go into your job, your career, your business, your schools, your events, your gatherings, essentially whenever and wherever you may find yourself, preach the gospel with your behavior, your words, your actions/deeds. God has given us dominion. Like Apostle Wilson said 'that is why even though man cannot run faster than a cheetah, he has invented the fastest vehicles, even though man cannot fly (no wings) he has invented space shuttles'. Yeah! Because we have dominion. Dominion applies to all of men, as he said but we believers have spiritual dominion in addition. As a believer you can conquer not only in the physical but in the spiritual as well. An unbeliever does not have that privilege. He said we are kings. God is the Kings of ...kings.
I want to emphasize the power, authority and dominion we need to apply in our daily lives. We can't be believers, true kings and be 'the laziest person at work', or 'the bottom of class' or 'the one with bad attitude' and so on. We are pacesetters. We should be showing people how it's done not being the on looker ('look'ozade). We need to remind ourselves of the above scriptures, and others like "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind" 2 Tim 1:7
Does that mean that we are never to be challenged or tired or weak sometimes??? No. Check this out. His word says "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2Cor 12:9 NIV As long as we hand over our weaknesses to Him.
One of the songs that was taken during praise & worship by Bobby Connors just also made it resonate. The song is titled 'Takin it back'. On his 'No limits' CD. Click here to view his website. The songs says we need to pull down every stronghold and take back God's kingdom. For real y'all.

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 2 Cor 10:4
