Psalm 110:1–2 ‘The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of Thy strength out of Zion: rule Thou in the midst of Thine enemies.’

DAILY READING John 20:1-18; 2 Chronicles 31; Psalm 87

Some accounts of Israel’s survival sound too incredible to be true. But they are only testimonies of God’s miracles in the midst of His people. In the television documentary series, “Against All Odds: In Search of a Miracle,” Journalist Michael Greenspan explores the question of why Israel has survived against all the odds. The 13-part dramatic series took a fascinating journey into the documented stories of supernatural phenomenon, which birthed and preserved modern Israel. This includes eyewitness accounts and commentary by high-ranking government officials, generals, soldiers and foreign leaders.

One very famous case of such miracles happened in 1958 when the IDF [Israel Defense Force] went into the Golan Heights to fight the Syrian army. In the course of the battle, a soldier from the IDF got run over by a Syrian tank and was seriously wounded. As the Syrian soldiers saw this man lying helpless on the battlefield, they approached him and pulled out their guns ready to shoot him. But all of a sudden the Syrian soldiers started to run away for no obvious explanation. When later questioned by their superiors, these Syrian soldiers stated that they saw thousands of angels around this man. And at about the exact time, this wounded Israeli soldier said that he heard the voice of God telling him that He was not finished with him yet. And this man survived.

In another incident in 1973, a lone Israeli soldier took an entire Egyptian patrol all by himself. And this lone soldier, who became a hero, said that he couldn’t make any sense of it, he thought that he was going to be killed, but instead the Egyptian forces just turned themselves in and allowed him to lead them into Israeli territory. And when the Egyptian commander was questioned on why he and his men gave themselves up to this lone soldier, he replied, “One soldier? No, there were thousands of them.” According to him, it was only after they had crossed into Israel’s territory that these ‘thousands of soldiers’ disappeared!

And in another case a small Jewish community with no soldiers was under attack by Arab forces, when all of a sudden the Arabs began to run away in great fear. The Arabs later stated that they were being attacked by huge strange beings with flaming swords. These stories, as incredible as they seem, have been documented and collaborated by eyewitnesses. Indeed, the survival and existence of Israel is a living proof of the truth of God’s Word.

Psalm 110:1–2 says, ‘The LORD said unto My Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of Thy strength out of Zion: rule Thou in the midst of Thine enemies.’

It is God’s will for His people to rule and dominate in the midst of their enemies. Israel is a tiny nation surrounded by large hostile nations, yet by the power of God Israel has continued to dominate and rule in the midst of its enemies.

Likewise, according to God’s end-time agenda, the Church is in its era of dominion. God has given believers the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over every power of the enemy.  It is God’s will that we dominate our environment. We are called to be the head and not the tail; above only and never beneath. We are to take the lead, while others follow. That is our heritage. But you cannot dominate without being empowered.

1John 5:19 tells us that ‘the whole world lieth in wickedness.’

To live and thrive in such a wicked world, we need power.  It is the power content at work in your life that makes you dominate. It is the level of power you operate in that will authenticate the level of dominion you can manifest.

Power is the beauty of Christianity. It is the identity and portion of every child of God. The kingdom of God speaks in power not just in word. It is through the manifestation of God’s power that our enemies shall be subdued. Through the power of God we rule over sickness, disease, poverty and every enemy of our lives and destiny.  It is therefore time to go for power. And power is encountered through prayer and in-depth study of the Word of God. Let us determine to pay the required price to walk in dominion. Enough of excuses, enough of explanations! Indeed it is time to begin to rule in the midst of our enemies through exercise of God’s power!

PRAYER: Father, I desire to live a life of victory and dominion. I know it is Your will and plan for me to be the head and never the tail.  By Your power, I am indeed ruling in the midst of my enemies in Jesus’ name.
