I have such an excitement for the year that is ahead of us. Back in May of 2009 the Lord blessed me by revealing what I called a secret. Though I didn’t understand it at first, I’ve spent the last 8 months diving into it and making the necessary changes in my life to truly grasp the entirety of I what I believe God is revealing and going to reveal in this year.
Here’s the secret: “2010 is about reigning in life.” Not sure what that means? Well neither did I when I first heard the Spirit whisper it. What I’ve since discovered is that most of the Body of Christ doesn’t know what it means to reign in life either. Yet we are the ambassadors of heaven? The conduits of the miraculous power that is to fill the Earth? Now is just 2010 about reigning in life? Of course not, it’s been the plan ever since the beginning. So what is God really saying by asking us to step into this life of reigning? This is the journey we are embarking on!
Here are 3 things to examine as we begin this journey into “reigning in life”:
1. Is your life lived with purpose? Romans 5:18-21
2. Is your life lived with passion? Philippians 3:12-14
3. Have you given your life so that you may reign in life? 2 Corinthians 9:6-10
Take the time this week and look through these scriptures. Discover how Jesus Christ lived His life with purpose and passion. Then reflect on how He gave His life so that we could reign in life with Him.
Jesus didn’t sow sparingly; He fulfilled every prophecy by giving all of Himself. Though we are called to give our lives, if we don’t find freedom in the area of giving our finances we allow fear to rule and keep us down. As we closed service I asked Sean to lead us in a declaration regarding our giving in the area finances. He got this from Bethel Church out of Redding, CA. Declare this over your finances and remember – God wants a cheerful giver, whether it’s financial or relationally. So put a smile on because we are in for a great year!
