Reigning with God

God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, entrusting him with the task and responsibility of naming the animals. Though it was God's garden, it was also Adam's. He wasn't merely a tolerated tenant in creation; he was genuinely welcome. The garden was crafted with Adam in mind, and God desired for him to feel at home there, not as an outsider, but as its master.

God had a vision and a purpose for Adam: to rule over and govern creation.

However, true authority comes with submission. God doesn't seek to enslave us; rather, He desires for us to rely on Him as we oversee His creation. The line between servitude and submission is drawn by freedom. Submission is a choice to obey.

When Adam turned away from God, he lost his authority and became ensnared by sin. Jesus liberated us from this sin and reclaimed the power we had forfeited. He offers it back to us when we yield to Him. Genuine spiritual authority stems from a complete surrender to God's will in our lives.

Sin deprives us of God's glory. Not merely the sight of His glory, but the privilege of partaking in it. Jesus restores our access to this glory by seating us beside Him on His throne. From this position, we can serve as Christ's ambassadors, furthering God's kingdom while leaning on the Holy Spirit.

God has a blueprint for your life. The more you align with His Word and Spirit, the more you'll witness His plans unfolding for you.

Where in your life are you acting without God, trying to achieve your goals without His guidance?

Do you aspire to truly reign in life?

Allow Him to rule within you and yield to His will.

Surrender, and you'll never look back.

May God bless you.
