YOUR PRESENT AND PERMANENT PLACE OF DOMICILE


Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.


Our opening scripture says God has transferred us from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of His Love-Son. That’s where you are now. The transfer wasn’t a process; it’s not something that happens from time to time; it’s already been effectuated, and it was a permanent transfer. Your present and permanent place of domicile is the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son.


The question is: do you realize you’re in His Kingdom? It’s important to know this because it means you’re not under the dominion of Satan. You’re seated together with Christ, “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come” (Ephesians 1:21).


Recall what the Bible says about our Lord Jesus Christ in 1 Timothy 6:15-16: He’s the “…blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto....” In other words, He only has immortality (life, “deathlessness”) and dwells in unapproachable light. He is light, and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5), and you’re in Him.


That means in you, there’s no darkness, no sickness, disease or infirmity, nothing of Satan because you were born into God’s Kingdom of light—His marvellous light: “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9).


If this is true, and thank God it is, how can you have cancer? Where will diabetes, hypertension, heart condition, migraine headache, etc., come from since you presently and permanently dwell in the Kingdom of God’s Love Son where there’s no darkness but light; where life and immortality reign? How can the devil oppress you when you’re not under his jurisdiction? 


In Luke 10:19, the Lord said, “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.” It’s the reason you can say, “In the Name of Jesus, I refuse to accommodate Satan and anything from him; I belong in the Kingdom of God’s Love Son, Jesus Christ, with dominion over Satan, sickness, disease, death and the demons of darkness.” Hallelujah!


 CONFESSION


I’m in the Kingdom of God’s Love-Son, where there’s no darkness, disease, failure or death. I’m seated with Christ, far above all principality, power, might, dominion and everything that's named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Amen.


FURTHER STUDY


Ephesians 2:4-6; But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:


1 John 5:4; For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.


Colossians 1:12-13 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:


13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

  JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

  JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
