One of the greatest revelations I've been privileged to receive in recent times is that Christians don't die, neither do the things in their custody. The simple reason for this is that death came into this world and began to reign when sin came.
Death began to reign over every man when Adam sinned, but when Jesus came, He gave us life through His righteousness and also gave us authority to reign through that righteousness.
Let's see how scriptures put it: Romans 5: 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Did you notice verse 12? Sin and death were never in this world, they came when Adam transgressed against God.
Sin was enthroned by man, and death was enthroned by sin. That's why till today, anywhere sin enters, death begins to operate automatically. When you see a person's health suddenly begin to deteriorate, death is reigning. When a person begins to spend on emergencies, death is reigning in his finances. Verse 14 continues by telling us how long death has reigned, from Adam to Moses, and over everyone who didn't really sin after the order of Adam's transgression. In other words, death is still reigning till date. But verse 17 reveals something very powerful, it says if death reigned in every man's life through the transgression of one man, every person who receives the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by Jesus Christ.
Now just as two kings cannot reign over one kingdom, death and life can't reign together in one man's life. One would have to step down for the other to reign. Although death still has authority to reign in this world because of sin, but you can decide to cease its operation within and around your life.
If death is reigning in your life, family and business, then it's because you've refused to reign by the gift of righteousness that Jesus has brought. Let me show you another scripture: 1 Corinthians 15: 24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. Notice verse 24, before Jesus delivers the kingdom of God to the Father, He must have put down or pull down all reign, authority and power. Verse 25 says He must reign until He has put all enemies under His feet. Look at that! HE MUST REIGN until he has put all enemies under his feet.
We all know that the only way Christ would continue to reign in this world is through His body, the church. This means we have to insist that Christ reigns in our life. Christ came to give us abundant life, and if we claim that He's Lord over our lives, then we must live in the consciousness of that life. I like the concluding part of that scripture; it says "the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death". Jesus must reign till all His enemies are put under His feet, but the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. This further establishes that death still reigns on the earth, although his reign is limited to those who are from Adam and not the Lord Jesus. As long as sin is still in this world, then death still has people it rules over.
That also means it still has some level of authority. But a time would come when everyone or a larger audience would come to the Lordship of Jesus, and by then, death will be destroyed. Until then, you have to reign through the gift of righteousness that Jesus Christ has brought. Proverbs 8:15 says "By me kings reign...".
This means that living your life by the Word of the Lord and the fellowship of His Spirit would put you in charge at all times. You can't reign without making decrees, decrees from the Word of the Lord. It's time to put and pull down all enemies of the Lord under His feet. Put down death, put down poverty, put down sickness, put down spiritual blindness, put down all enemies. I'm grateful to God for revealing this deep mystery to His servant Prophet Isaiah Macwealth, because ever since he shared it with us, the testimonies I've recorded is amazing.
Even to a point that the Holy Spirit now shows me areas of my life where death wants to reign. Nobody talks death talks in my family anymore. We've learnt to remove negativity from our heart and mouth, and instead of complaining to God when we don't understand certain things, we just praise Him because we're convinced that He will reign till all His enemies are put under His feet. Finally, don't allow sin reign in your life, because if sin reigns, death will automatically reign. Be conscious of your righteous nature, and reign. So, start speaking to your business, your family and everything that God has put in your hand, command life into them by the Word of the Lord. Reign! I hope this has brought enlightenment to someone.
Now here's a good news, God's servant Prophet Isaiah Macwealth will continue this teaching this Sunday. If you'd like to join me in that service, send a DM or send me a WhatsApp message for details. Remain ever blessed, in Jesus precious name!
