RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SATURDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2023 (AFFIRM THE “DECREE”)
TOPIC : AFFIRM THE “DECREE”
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 149: 8-9
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.
MESSAGE
We’ve been authorized to take action against the chief spiritual personalities in the kingdom of darkness. Jesus said, “And these signs shah follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils…” (Mark 16:17), and He also asserted in Matthew 18:18, “…whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shah be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.“
Then He tells us in our theme verse to “…bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.” In the physical world, when the court has decided the case against a criminal, all that the judge does is read out his written judgment and go his way. But then the police take a copy of that judgment and go into action to execute it; they arrest the fellow and put him behind bars.
Now, in the realm of the spirit, we, the saints of God, are the ones called and authorized to execute the judgment that’s been written against principalities and powers, the “kings and nobles of evil.” The Bible says, ”…this honoor have all his saints…” (Psalm 1 49:9 ). It doesn’t say, “some of His saints” or “the apostles and evangelists only” but “ALL His saints.” Hallelujah!
How do you execute the judgment that’s been written against these rebel holders of authority? The Psalmist tells us how; he says, “/ will dec/are the decree…” (Psalm 2:7 ). You’ve got to declare the decree! But you need to know what decrees have been issued against these evil spiritual forces that are trying to run a rampage in our world today.
One of the decrees says, “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11). This is a decree of Almighty God! Now, you’re the one to enforce this decree in the earth.
You’re the one to rule with the Name of Jesus in your world: in your home, your family, your school, your community, your streets, and your country. Give no place to the devil! Rule your world with the Name of Jesus. Glory to God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the power vested in the Name of Jesus and for giving me the power of attorney to use that Name. Now I speak to the demons of evil and darkness that cause chaos and violence in my city and nation, I break your power over the people; I command you to cease from your operations and maneuvers over them in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Amen.
