HIGHEST INFLUENCE

Romans 5:17 (KJV) 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. The effect of God’s gift of righteousness is that His children reign in life. Righteousness places us in right standing with the Father. No matter how far someone believes they have strayed away from God, once they embrace His righteousness, they will reign in life. In any kingdom, the king holds the highest influence. God has ordained His children to be kings. The word reign is directly connected to kingship, for kings exercise the highest influence in life. The Greek word for reign, basileúō, means highest influence or control. This is the year for you to become more conscious of your righteousness in Christ Jesus, and to begin to exercise the highest influence in life. PRAYER FOR TODAY Lord, thank You for the gift of righteousness. I reign in life by Christ Jesus, exercising godly influence and dominion over every circumstance I encounter. PROPHETIC DECLARATION I received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness; therefore, I reign in life! I am not subject to circumstances; I shape them. I operate as a king, exercising dominion in every area of my life. Amen! FURTHER STUDY Revelation 1:6 365 BIBLE CHALLENGE – DAY 177 2 Chronicles 10-12; Acts 21:1
