As  Christians,  we  belong  to  a  real  spiritual 

kingdom: the Kingdom of God’s love-Son. In 

that kingdom, we have our peculiar Kingdom language. 

We don’t just talk; we speak the wisdom of God; that’s 

the  language  of  our  Kingdom:  “Howbeit  we  speak 

wisdom  among  them  that  are  perfect:  yet  not  the 

wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, 

that come to nought” ( 1 Corinthians 2:6). 

Too  many  Christians  don’t  understand  how  to 

speak the Kingdom language, because they’ve never 

been rightly and adequately taught, and as a result, they 

talk fear, and unbelief. Some of them call it “reality”; 

“Let’s face reality” they’d say, referring to the things 

that their senses can perceive. The only reality is God’s 

Word. 

Don’t  say  you’re  broke  just  because  there’s  no 

money  in  your  pocket  or  bank  account.  Instead, 

affirm, “The Lord is my shepherd and I lack nothing; 

He’s brought me into a large place, a place of wealth 

untold. I’m supernaturally supplied, and all my needs 

are met; I have no consciousness of lack, because all 

things are mine!” That’s speaking the language of our 

m o n d a y 11

Many Christians have lived in the sense-realm 

for too long. If they feel a headache, the first 

thing that comes to their minds is the medication to 

take. They’re not conscious that they have power over 

sickness, disease, and infirmity; they’re not conscious 

that they have the divine life. 

The Christian is a partaker of the divine nature; 

an associate of the God-kind. You have the very life 

of  God  in  you;  that  makes  you  more  than  a  mere 

man. Sickness really can’t, and shouldn’t thrive in your 

body, because Christ is the life of your physical body. 

His presence in you already gave life to your mortal 

body. 

Why then are many still burdened with sickness 

and  ravaged  by  one  health  issue  or  the  other?  The 

answer  is  clear:  ignorance.  The  psalmist  said,  “They 

know  not,  neither  will  they  understand…”  (Psalm 

82:5). Jesus said concerning the believing ones,  “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” (Mark 16:18). 

The  above  verse  is  a  sovereign  declaration  of 

Deity; it’s a present-hour reality, guaranteed to produce
results. Believe and act on it. Practise it for yourself, and
on others. Believing the Word and acting accordingly
is the way to make the Word effective in your life.
Faith is acting on the Word of God that you’ve
believed. If there’s no action, then there’s no faith, and
without  faith,  it’s  impossible  to  please  God.  Faith  is
standing your ground on the reality of the Word.
Yes,  hearing  the  Word  produces  faith  in  you,
(Romans 10:17), but acting on it, living it out, is what
causes you to excel, prosper, and make progress in
life with giant strides.
PRAYER
I worship you, precious Lord, for your kindness and
infinite mercies. Thank you for making me a partaker
of the divine nature, an associate of the God-kind.
Your life and nature in me makes me more than a
mere  man;  I’m  supernatural,  excellent  and  full  of
glory. I walk in, and manifest the dominion of Christ
today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

James 1:22-25; James 2:20-26

In  the  verse  above,  the  Apostle  John  wasn’t 

prophesying; he was affirming the life we have 

in  Christ;  a  life  of  dominion  over  satan,  the  world, 

and its systems. The Christian is unconquerable; he’s 

a victor on every count; he’s born into the glory-life, 

and could never fail. 

Read Jesus’ assertion about your impregnable and 

invincible nature—your authority and dominion in Him: 

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents 

and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: 

and  nothing  shall  by  any  means  hurt  you”  (Luke 

10:19). In Mark 16:18, He said you shall tread upon 

serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it’ll have 

no effect on you. This means you can’t be poisoned. 

What a life! 

He overcame the world and gave us the victory, 

the power to subdue this world. That’s what John affirms 

in our opening verse. The word, “overcometh”means 

to  have  victory  over,  to  subdue,  conquer,  and  to 

prevail over. You’ve subdued, tamed and conquered 

the elements of this world; the circumstances of life; 

therefore, walk in dominion over them. 

The  Word  doesn’t  say,  “You’ll  overcome  if  you 

There’s a wisdom from God that’s revealed to 

us to live by. Jesus functioned in it, and as a 

result,  He  completely  baffled  and  dazzled  those  in 

His day. He had a different mindset. His words and 

teachings were different; in most cases, they were in 

complete antithesis to the Law, and to natural human 

thinking. 

According to the Law, for example, the soul that 

sins shall die (Ezekiel 18:20), but Jesus manifested the 

love,  mercies  and  grace  of  God:   “For  the  law  was 

given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus 

Christ” (John 1:17). Moses taught “An eye for an eye; 

life  for  life”;  but  Jesus  came  to  reveal  to  us  the  life 

and nature of God; the way God thinks—the way that 

wins—the love-way. 

Man had been raised in the natural world to be 

vengeful, to be insulting and injurious. But Jesus taught 

that we should love our enemies, pray for, and bless 

our detractors and persecutors: “…Love your enemies,

The Word of God is trustworthy; it’s living and 

active,  sharper  than  any  two-edged  sword 

(Hebrews 4:12 AMPC). God’s desire for us is to be 

built by the Word; we excel and make progress by the 

Word. 1 Peter 2:2 says, “As newborn babes, desire the 

sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” 

He wants us to accept the Word of God like children. 

Children are trusting. 

Jesus  said,  “…Truly  I  say  to  you,  unless  you…

become  like  little  children  [trusting,  lowly,  loving, 

forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven 

[at  all]”   (Matthew  18:3  AMPC).  Exhibiting  childlike 

confidence in the Word doesn’t make you gullible or 

naïve. Rather, it means you’re smart and functioning 

in the wisdom of God. 

Many make the Word of non-effect in their own 

lives because they argue with the Word; they always 

try  to  rationalize  the  Word.  Children  don’t  try  to 

rationalize things; they simply act from their standpoint 

of innocence, trusting the one who’s leading, guiding 

or instructing them. That’s how we ought to be with 

the Word.
