Day 251: SEP 8TH: BORN TO REIGN, NOT TO BE RULED

Scripture

Romans 5:17

For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one, much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ.

DAILY WISDOM

You were not redeemed to be ruled by life. You were raised to reign in it.

MESSAGE

There is a call rising in the spirit realm, a divine proclamation echoing through time. This call is not an invitation to religion; it is a summons to rulership. Redemption is Heaven’s way of giving dominion back to man. When Christ rose from the dead, He did not just defeat sin. He restored your authority. He did not just cleanse your past. He activated your throne. 

 

To reign in life is not just a poetic phrase; it is a governmental status. You are not called to survive; you are called to conquer. You are not meant to live under circumstances; you are empowered to govern over them. The life of a believer should not be one constant cry for rescue. It should reflect dominion. And this dominion is not earned through merit; it is received through grace and righteousness. 

 

Grace is God’s empowerment. Righteousness is your legal standing. Grace provides strength while righteousness gives you the legal basis. When you embrace both, dominion becomes certain. No matter your background, age, education, or resources, if you are in Christ, you have received the power to reign. Reigning is not a reward for the perfect; it is a right for the redeemed. 

 

However, this reigning is not automatic. It needs to be activated by revelation. If you do not know what you carry, you will never use it. If you do not understand your position, you will keep living as if you are beneath it. Ignorance can empower your enemies more than their weapons ever could. 

 

Reigning in life means taking control of your circumstances and following divine guidance. It means not allowing symptoms to control your health or economic troubles to limit your prosperity. It means not letting generational patterns sabotage your future. You have been raised with Christ to rise above limitations. You are not the hunted; you are the enthroned. Until this truth becomes part of your inner awareness, life will continue to treat you like a servant when God has made you royalty. 

 

It is time to live from this place of dominion. Speak like a king. Think like a ruler. Pray like a commander. Make decisions like a governor. Move as one who carries Heaven’s authority. You were not born again to be pitied; you were born again to be in charge. Let the atmosphere around you show your true status. Let your choices reflect your spiritual identity. Let your life silence the enemy's accusations. You are not ordinary; you are royalty. 

 

SIX LAWS OF REIGNING IN LIFE BY CHRIST 

  1. REIGNING IS A COVENANT RIGHT, NOT AN EMOTIONAL DESIRE

   Romans 5:17, "Much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ." 

  

You do not reign because you feel powerful; you reign because you are legally authorized in Christ. 

 

  1. GRACE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE THE TWIN FORCES OF DOMINION

   Titus 2:11-12, "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world." 

  

Grace empowers right living, and righteousness produces right standing. Together, they position you to rule. 

 

  1. DOMINION BEGINS WHERE IGNORANCE ENDS

   Proverbs 11:9, "Through knowledge shall the just be delivered." 

  

No matter how saved you are, if you do not know your rights, you will live as though you have none. 

 

  1. REIGNING IS NOT JUST FOR HEAVEN BUT FOR LIFE ON EARTH

   Romans 5:17, "Shall reign in life." 

  

You are not called to wait until eternity to rule; your throne is active now. 

 

  1. KINGDOM REIGNING IS FOR SERVICE, NOT SELF-GLORY

   Matthew 20:26, "Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister." 

  

God gives authority so you can advance His Kingdom, not to fuel your ambition. 

 

  1. REIGNING REQUIRES ALIGNMENT WITH THE KING OF KINGS

   John 15:5, "He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing." 

  

No one reigns effectively in the Kingdom without staying connected to Christ.

DAILY PURPOSE NOTE

Refuse to live like a spiritual slave when Heaven has made you a king. Rise, rule, reign.
