Rhapsody of Realities December 18th, 2025, ENTHRONED TO REIGN

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

…That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority…(Ephesians 1:19-21 NIV).

The Lord Jesus, when He was raised from the dead, was enthroned far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this present age but also in the one to come. He has the supreme authority in all the universe. But guess what? He raised us together with Him and seated us together with Him.

This is because, according to the Scriptures, when Jesus ascended to heaven and sat on the right hand of God, which refers to the place of power, dominion and authority, we were in Him. Therefore, we’re seated together with Him in the place of power and authority. We’re enthroned to reign. Ephesians 2:6 AMPC says, “And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).”

It explains why He gave us His Name to live by, to use in the earth: because in heaven He represents us. We stand in Jesus’ stead and enforce the will of the Father here on earth. He said in Mark 16:17-18, “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.”

In Matthew 10:8 NKJV He also said, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons….” So, exercise your authority and dominion in Christ over sickness, disease, death and the elements of this world. Live and operate from the very seat and presence of divine power. In Christ, you’re in the place of the greatest influence.

The forces or elements of this world may want to exert their negativities on you and get you to believe or act contrary to the Word. But you must maintain your composure and reign over them in the Name of Jesus. Christianity is a life of reigning, and we reign through words. This consciousness and understanding changes how you pray, speak and make decisions.

Don’t react to Satan’s antics; instead, dictate outcomes. Speak with divine authority because you occupy Christ’s seat, functioning with His divine power. Hallelujah!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for raising me up with Christ and seating me together with Him in the place of power, dominion and divine authority. I function from this place of glory and authority, ruling over darkness, circumstances and every opposition. I declare peace in my world today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

DAILY AFFIRMATIONS:

I am seated with Christ, far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named, in this world and in the world to come. I am exalted with Him in glory, chosen, royal, and peculiar. My life is the expression and manifestation of the glory and righteousness of Christ. I know who I am. I function from a higher realm, conscious of my divine placement and identity in Christ. The life of Christ is at work in my spirit, soul, and body. God’s Word is the light of my life, and no darkness, misery, infirmity, or pain is associated with me. I am strong in faith, giving glory to God at all times. No sickness, disease, or infirmity can thrive in my body because I am one Spirit with the Lord.

I am strengthened and energized by the Holy Spirit who lives in me, making me an absolute victor. The power of the Holy Spirit permeates every part of my being, infusing me with divine strength and vitality. I have the ability to do exceedingly, abundantly above all I could ask, think, or imagine, because God’s power is actively working in me. God loves me personally. I am His peculiar treasure, and my value to Him is the value of Jesus. I think, speak, walk, and live as someone special. I have the same life Jesus has in its fullness—a life of glory, victory, success, and excellence. I am a new creation, born with the life and nature of God.

I am an heir of God’s Kingdom of blessings. Divine life, health, prosperity, joy, peace, and victory are mine in Christ. I am a carrier of God’s blessings; everything connected to me is blessed, grows, and multiplies. The Lord has brought me to a large place, and testimonies of victory surround me everywhere I go. My life is a life of ever-increasing glory and peace. God’s Word is alive in me, producing what it talks about. Eternal life permeates my spirit and body. I live in divine health continually, preserved by God’s Spirit. I know who I am. I am from above, and the works of my hands are blessed, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
