In this kingdom, our relationship with God is defined by our encounters; our personal revelation of Jesus is what gives us our place in this kingdom. Christ says that he will appoint a kingdom for us. Our rulership is based on our encounter with Jesus. The more you know him, the more you progress; your knowledge, your revelation of him, is what will clear the barrier of your path.
Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
The question of Jesus Christ's true identity is crucial to our Christian journey; no one can avoid it; every believer is expected to give their own answer based on their understanding of Jesus. Your dominion over darkness is tied to your answer; your commanding of the supernatural is tied to your answer. Our foundation is Christ, and you cannot build on a foundation you don´t know or are not sure of. The bible says that except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain to build it (Psalm 127:1a), and Jesus Christ said that without him we can do nothing. So, every time we do in this kingdom is tied to our knowledge of who Jesus truly is, because He is the one to contend with the gates of hell, not you and me. He is the king of glory; when he appears, the gate of hell will lift its head (Psalm 24:7-10). His name is what the enemy is afraid of, and not your name. God has given him a name that everything answers to. If God did not reveal His Son to you, the keys to the kingdom of heaven will not be released to you, and in this kingdom, we operate by keys. The power is in the hands of the person who holds the key; even if you are the landlord, if you don't have the key to the building, you will remain outside.
Jesus told Peter that because my Father has revealed me to you, I will give you keys to the kingdom of heaven to bind and cast the devil at will. He told him that he would put him in command of the world to do as he pleases. When he says by my name, you shall cast out devils. He was referring to those who have received the revelation of his true identity. The more you know him, the more your command of the supernatural. When you have the keys, you will have solutions to all problems; note, the word keys, and not just key; every door has its own keys. If Satan locks the door of the breakthrough against you, there are keys to open it. If he locks the door to your health, there are keys to open it, and that key is in your genuine encounter with Jesus.
Friends, you see why everyone should seek Jesus; seeking to know Jesus should be our number one desire. He is the life, the way, and the truth, and no one can see the Father except through him. Without him, you have no life. The revelation of Jesus is the answer to all our prayers. Our confidence as a believer comes from our personal encounter with Jesus. The same Peter walked on water because he believed Jesus would save him; his confidence in Jesus was superb. You may ask, Nene, I don't know how to go about it. Here is your answer: Jesus is the word of God, and God framed the world by the word. The more of the word of God you have in you, the more revelation you get. You need to develop the attitude of studying the word and meditating on it, and then you will start commanding breakthroughs on every side.
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Friends, Jesus will only reveal himself to his friends. If you are not yet his friend, please accept his friend request by praying the salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me so that I could become a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
NENE ISAH,
