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 6:1-29; 2 Samuel 15; Daniel 9

In 1967, in the mid-east, the drums of war began to beat. The faceoff between Israel and its Arab neighbors was coming to an unavoidable climax. In a provocative move, Egypt had moved large forces and heavy artillery to the Sinai desert. Next, Egypt had closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli ships and anyone bringing any military equipment to Israel. Then Egypt, Syria and Jordan formed a pact and placed their militaries on high alert. All these were acts of war! And it was clear that conflict was inevitable.

However, the odds were greatly against Israel. In fact globally it was believed Israel had no chance against the great Arab coalition. But despite the frightening scenario, the Jewish people confidently maintained their confidence in their God. They believed God was on their side and will fight for them.  And so it was. God indeed did fight for His people.

In a  preemptive move, Israel sent two hundred of its Air Force planes to attack the Egyptian air bases. Though, these planes flew very low to avoid being detected, still a Jordanian radar facility detected the  approaching Israeli aircrafts. Immediately  Jordan sent out a message to Egypt to warn them of the approaching Israeli planes. The secret code was the word “Inab”, meaning war. This was meant to alert Egypt to rise to counter the attack.  But unknown to Jordan, Egypt had only the day before changed their coding frequency, and was yet to update Jordan. So the warning was not received by the Egyptian military. This was indeed a miracle, because it prevented the Israeli planes from being shot down. Another remarkable thing, was that Egypt’s anti-aircraft ammunition was sufficient enough to have destroyed  all the Israeli planes, but miraculously, the order was not given to launch any of these missiles. Thus Israeli planes, arrived the Egyptian airbase, unresisted and began to attack, destroying half of the Egyptian air force.

With this surprise attack, Israeli effectively destabilized the Arab military.

And within six days, of intense fighting, Israel miraculously won the war. By its victory Israel was able to gain more lands from the Arabs, and tripled the size of its territory! No doubt, in this war, God fought for Israel, and gave His people dominion over their enemies.

Indeed Kingdom dominion is the heritage of God’s people. And under  the new covenant, the church is now in the era of dominion.  Psalms 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 to rule in the midst of our enemies. In this  era God’s people  will be dominating practically over the wicked.  We are to be the head and never the tail, above only and never beneath.

We are to dominate by a raw manifestation of the power of God. This is why every child of God should seek to be empowered at this time. You cannot afford to be powerless, lest the enemy make mincemeat of you. It is through the greatness of God’s power that the enemy will submit. By mighty signs and wonders, men shall know that we are indeed serving The living God.

It is indeed your time to dominate. Never mind that it may look as if you are in the minority.  Just like Israel in the battle with the Arabs, you may look grossly outnumbered. The odds may even be against you and the oppositions appear  greater in number. But then the arm of flesh shall fail. While they trust in their horses and chariots, we shall trust in the Name of The Lord our God.

God has said in Isaiah 31:3 ‘ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together’

Therefore despite their war paraphernalia  and intimidating machinery, do not fear. They shall fall, and you shall stand upright.  We are in the days of His power, and it is our time to rule. Dominion is our portion.

However it is only those that know their God that can do exploits. Therefore this is the time to go for indepth knowledge of The Word.  It is by engaging the power of God via the knowledge of The Word, that we can dominate.  In the book of exodus when the power of God descended,  Egypt was dominated and overthrown. By this same power of God in this era, the wicked shall also be overthrown.  Therefore in this season, by God’s  power,  you  are dominating over  every negative circumstance. You are dominating over sickness and disease, over failure, poverty and every contrary situation in Jesus Name.   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. You are the winner in every conflict. You are the victor in every contest. Because you are born of God, you are born to overcome!

PRAYER: Father by Your grace enable me to overcome every contrary situation in my life. Through indepth knowledge of Your Word, empower me to dominate my world in Jesus Name.
