Deuteronomy 28:13 KJV
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath;: 

DAILY READING – – Mark 13:1-13; 1 Kings 6; Hosea 8

Israel as a nation has often suffered hatred from its enemies, down through the centuries. Whole nations have engaged in efforts to exterminate the Jewish people.  This hatred is called anti-Semitism. In ancient Egypt, the Pharaohs ordered that all Jewish boy-babies should be cast into the Nile. In Babylon, at the time of Queen Esther, a plot was formed to murder the Jews and seize all their property. In more recent times, during World War 2, the Holocaust in central Europe wiped out six million Jews in the German and Polish death camps. 

In Kiev, Ukraine, near the World War Museum, there is a plot of ground where 50,000 Jews were shot, thrown into a valley and covered with dirt. 

The Bible predicted a scattering of the Jews which came to pass in AD 70, when Roman soldiers attacked the Jewish nation. They were scattered from one end of the earth to the other—just as God had said. And for 2,000 years the Jewish people were without a country.  God also predicted that Israel would be regathered again into her ancient homeland. By 1900, there was not a single “Jewish village” anywhere, but on May 14, 1948, in fulfillment of prophesy, Israel became a nation again. The return of the Jews to their ancient land, and the rebuilding of the nation of Israel, is one of the greatest fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

The survival of the Jews is one of the most amazing miracles of all times. There were other powerful nations in the Middle East in Old Testament times. There were the Philistines, the Hivites, the Jebusites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Edomites, etc. but how many of them survived?  The Philistines and Hivites and Amorites, etc. have been absorbed by other nations—and have all lost their identity. Yet the Jewish nation still remains. 

And not only that, today it is thriving and dominating in the middle east. On the global scene, Israel is a leading nation in innovations and technology. Indeed the survival and existence of Israel is a living proof of the truth of God’s Word. 

And it is also proof that if God be for you, nobody can be against you. 
It didn’t matter how many times enemies tried to destroy the Jewish people, they only kept rising and thriving, because of God’s backing. 

And likewise in this era, it is God’s will for us, as His people, to dominate, and rule in the midst of our enemies.

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.’

We are in the era of the dominion of the Church . According to God’s endtime agenda, Kingdom dominion is the portion of every child of God. You are therefore to dominate your world. You are to be the head and not the tail, above only and never beneath. You are to take the lead, while others follow. That is your heritage. Because you are born of God, you are born to overcome the world!. 

It is time for our enemies to be made our footstool. The world and the wickedness thereof must be subdued.  But you cannot dominate without being empowered. The kingdom of God speaks in power not just in word. It is the power content at work in your life that makes you dominate. It is the level you operate in that will authenticate the level of dominion you can manifest. 

It is therefore time for us to go for Power. And power is encountered through prayer and in-depth study of The Word of God.

Enough of being dominated by situations and circumstances. In this season, determine that power must change hands. It is your time to rule. Determine to rule over sickness, disease, poverty and every enemy of your life and destiny.  Decide to live in victory and dominion, as apportioned to you by God. It is indeed your time to reign. 

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. I therefore today declare that I am dominating over every enemy of my life and destiny. By Your Power I am ruling in the midst of my enemies, in Jesus Name.
