12 Days of Glory 2025, Day 9, Evening Session
The end-time church is a reigning church. When we talk about the church, we're not speaking of a building—we're speaking of you and me. In Psalm 110:1-3, the Lord declares:
"The Lord said unto my Lord, sit down at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies."
God is saying: rule in the midst of witches and wizards. "The people shall be willing in the day of thy power." This is not a power that is coming—it has come. Dominion is not coming; we are already in the age of dominion for the Church of Jesus Christ.
In Micah 4:1-2, it says that in the last days, the mountain of the Lord's house shall be exalted. Many nations shall come and say, "Come, let us go to the mountain of the Lord, and He will teach us His ways and we will walk in His paths." The world will witness such things happening in the church that they will ask: "How are you making it?"
In Daniel 7:27, the Scripture declares:
"The kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the Saints of the most high, whose kingdom is an Everlasting Kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him."
We are created to walk in dominion. Genesis 1:27-28 says:
"Let us make man in our image... and male and female created He them... and let them have dominion over all the earth."
Dominion simply means having rulership over something—to be in control of the affairs of life, to be in command of one's field of endeavor. Whether you are a woman or a man, you are created to exercise dominion.
In Psalm 8:6, He says:
"Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet."
Not some things—all things. Everything is under your control. Say it: everything is under my control.
He has made us Kings and Priests. In Revelation 5:10, it says we shall reign on the earth. He has not made us to groan—He has made us to reign. God delegated authority to man after He created him to take charge of the earth and rule over all creation.
In Matthew 18:18, Jesus says:
"Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
The events that will happen in heaven will be determined by what happens on the earth. We are in absolute control here. What you say, God will confirm. Heaven responds to what the people on earth declare. God has given authority to you and me. This is why we must understand our position.
It takes a renewed mind to walk in dominion. Romans 12:2 says:
"Be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Where you are today is where your thoughts have brought you. Where you will be tomorrow is what your thinking is now. You must transform your thinking to transform your life. Proverbs 23:7 says:
"As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he."
You become what you think. You cannot exercise dominion until your mind is renewed. If your thinking is faulty, no matter how you pray, your life will be faulty. Your thinking determines the kind of height you attain in life. Your thoughts either make you or break you. Who you are is determined by what you think, and what you do is determined by who you are.
People who rise to the top think differently from others. God said in Isaiah 1:18:
"Come now, and let us reason together."
God does not say "let us pray together"—He says "let us reason together." There is a place for reasoning. If you want to be in the class of God, you cannot suspend your mind. Isaiah 1:18 continues: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."
In Isaiah 1:19, He says:
"If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land."
With your mind, you will prove what is good. Your mind is the battleground where you win or lose every life battle. You will always act like the person you think you are. You are not poor because you lack money—you are poor because of the way you think.
A possessing-all-things-are-possible mentality is what you need. When Christianity is void of the use of the mind, it becomes stupidity. It is time to think Dominion thoughts. We have the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16). You cannot have the mind of Christ and think like the world.
Where you are now—can Jesus be in that position and suffer what you're suffering? No. There are those who are not going through what you are going through because of the way they think. Don't blame your location or your background. It is the way you think.
Mental slavery is the major reason for backwardness in the body of Christ. I pray today that somebody be loosed in the name of Jesus. Thinking is work. That's why many don't like it. It is more tedious to think than to do physical work. Think deeply. Think multidimensionally. The treasures of life that make you have dominion are not found on the surface—they are deep.
Let me share a story from Scripture. In Numbers 13:27-33, when the spies returned from Canaan, they said:
"We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless, the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled and very great; moreover we saw the children of Anak there."
Caleb said:
"Let us go up at once and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it."
But the other men said:
"We be not able to go against the people; for they are stronger than we."
One said "we are well able." One said "we be not able." It was a mindset. They brought up an evil report, saying the land eats up its inhabitants. They exaggerated everything. They said they saw giants—the sons of Anak. And then they said:
"And we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."
They were twelve spies. Ten came back with a negative report. Why? For four hundred years, Israel had been slaves in Egypt. Ten of them had not yet been out of the slavery mentality. Their minds were still captive. They had lived a life of torture, defeat, and poverty. So when God said, "Go take the land," yes, they went physically—but their minds said, "Moses, what are you talking about? We have been slaves all our lives. We can't make it."
Believers, even some of you, are like this. Someone shows you a Scripture and says, "God has said this to you." You respond, "Don't you know what you're talking about? My grandfather, my great-grandfather, my father—they were all poor. This is not for everybody. It's your mind you are fighting. God has provided for you, but you won't accept it because of your slavery mentality."
The mind of a man determines the wealth of a man. You cannot think poverty and prosper. You cannot think defeat and be victorious. Every great feat in life is a product of a possibility-thinking mind.
In the early 1900s, people said metal cannot fly into the air. The Wright brothers proved them wrong. Six years later, they flew the first metal airplane. Reason brings progress. We are in an era of mental exploits. Tax your mind.
In Genesis 13:14-15, God says:
"Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: for all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it."
Your eyes determine what you see. It is you—from your mind—who determines what you become. The level of your mental renewal determines the measure of your success. You cannot actualize your life beyond the limit of your mentality. Don't allow any nonsense enter your mind anymore.
In Philippians 4:8, Paul writes:
"Whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Your actualization is determined by your mentality. After this convention of the 12 Days of Glory, the glory of God in your life will be revealed to all, in the name of Jesus.
After your mind is renewed, you must be word-loaded. God rules the world by the power of His word. Hebrews 1:3 says:
"Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power."
God's power—the power with which He rules the world—is hidden in His word. In Romans 1:16, Paul writes:
"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
The power of God is in God's word. Everything in life answers according to the level of your insight in the word. You can only walk in dominion by your understanding of His word.
In Psalm 119:130:
"The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."
When the light of His word enters you, it shines in the darkness. John 1:5 says darkness comprehends it not. God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. When I am word-loaded, I rule in the midst of evil forces.
Paul told Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:13 and 15:
"Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Meditate upon these things... that thy profiting may appear to all."
If you want to profit in dominion, go to the word of God. The depth of the foundation of a building determines the height of the building. Similarly, your depth in God's word determines the level of dominion you command. The more insight you have, the higher you go. The more depth you have in God's word, the more you ascend.
In 1 Peter 2:2, it says:
"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby."
Many of us, after we are born again, don't sit with the word. We keep looking for someone to pray for us. That is not walking in dominion. In Acts 20:32, Paul says:
"Now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."
Knowledge will put you in command. Everything that makes you command in dominion is a function of the word of God. Faith is important, but its source is in God's word. Romans 10:17 says:
"Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
I cannot exercise faith for dominion without the word. Prayer is essential, but you cannot pray to get results without the word first. In 1 John 5:14-15:
"If we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: and if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him."
Without the word of God, there is no answer. If I want dominion in prosperity, Joshua 1:8 says:
"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."
Your success and prosperity rest on the word. If I want to enjoy peace, Psalm 119:165 says:
"Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them."
I cannot have peace without the word. If I want healing and health, Psalm 107:20 says:
"He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."
In Proverbs 4:22-23:
"For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
Everything is controlled by the word. If I want power, if I want wisdom, 1 Corinthians 1:24 says:
"Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
In John 1:1:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Everything you are looking for is controlled by the word of God. Exodus 4:17 says:
"Thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs."
Isaiah 11:1 speaks of a rod that shall come forth. In John 1:1, that rod is Jesus, the Word. If I want lasting deliverance, John 8:32 says:
"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Through knowledge shall the just be delivered (Proverbs 11:9). If I want dominion over frustration, in Luke 5:1-7, Peter was frustrated out of his frustration. Jesus spoke to him and said:
"Nevertheless at Thy word I will let down the net."
And the word ended his frustration. Everything in your life is controlled by the word of God. There is actually nothing you can do in the kingdom of God to enjoy dominion without the word. Without the word, you are worthless. Your worth is a function of the word that is in you.
Any area in which you want to enjoy dominion—whether in ministry, business, family, finance, career, or academics—the answer is in the word. Every area of life, you want to exercise dominion? It is in the word.
I have absolute dominion in financial prosperity—because of this book. I saw in God's word that nations don't make people. What is in you makes you. Running from Nigeria to America means nothing unless God sent you. If you have the word of God, anywhere you are, you can make it. No economic crisis can affect a man who is word-loaded.
I had a serious attack on my health years ago. I was threatened with death. I started with the word and I saw Matthew 8:17:
"Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."
I said, "If He took it, then I can't have what He took." I exercised dominion over sickness. Why? Because I saw from His word that Jesus took it two thousand years ago. My body was lying to me, but I said to my body, "You are lying. You are working with the devil." I dominated and walked out of sickness.
In the name of Jesus, everyone who is sick right now—I don't care what disease is in your body. If Jesus took your infirmities, He took it. Whether it's cancer, whether it's diabetes, whatever terminal disease you name—if Jesus took it, you don't have it. I command that foul spirit behind infirmity to get out of your body in the name of Jesus, and I pronounce you healed right now in the name of Jesus.
Finally, to exercise dominion, you must be a lover of God. In 1 John 4:8:
"God is love."
He that loveth not knoweth not God. Love is a person, and that person is God Himself. If I want to walk in dominion, I must have the nature of God, which is love. Because two cannot walk together except they be agreed (Amos 3:3). The easiest way to walk in dominion is to walk in love.
In Ephesians 3:17-19:
"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God."
When you walk in love, you don't pray for things to happen—they happen. When you walk in love, whatever answers to God answers to you. Can God walk towards a door and they shut it against Him? No. Whatever God carries, you carry. If God were to stand before an enemy and speak, that enemy would die. That is who you are. You don't know what you're missing by walking in bitterness and hatred. Walk in the love of God and you will carry God in your being. Miracles will happen.
Jesus did not cancel demons by commanding them—demons left Him. Why? Because He was love personified. When a man walks in love, he does not shout for things to happen. They happen. From today, you will not struggle. Things will happen when you sit. God sits. When you go, God goes.
I sat in a place where a medical doctor who had prostate cancer sat in the seat where I am standing before God. I did not pray. He got up and came back and testified that cancer was gone. Why? It's not me. It is love. Use this love. You who walk in love—God will not find it difficult to use a vessel that walks in love.
When you walk in love, you carry the fullness of God. So when you enter a shop, God enters that shop. When you move, God moves. When your being goes on a flight, God goes on that flight. You don't need to be a pastor. You can be a pastor but if you don't walk in love, a brother will get more than you. It has to do with you understanding the nature of God. God is not prayer. You can fast for forty days and not carry the nature of God if you don't walk in love.
When you understand the power of love, what answers to God answers to you. Jesus met a man called Peter. Peter denied Jesus three times. In John 21:15-17, when Jesus rose from the dead and the church was about to die because Peter went back to fishing, Jesus did something out of love:
"Lovest thou me? ... Feed my lambs... Lovest thou me? ... Feed my sheep."
Peter denied Him three times with his mouth. Jesus reversed the curse three times to bring him back. He cancelled the first denial, then the second, then the third. He said, "My love overtakes whatever mistake you have made. I cancel it."
Whatever mistake you have made that has put you where you are is cancelled in the name of Jesus. The love of God will take you back. Your place that you lost in life shall be restored to you. In Jeremiah 31:3:
"The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."
God's love is not a love of one week, not a love of four years, not a love of three years—it is an everlasting love. May that love change your story right now.
The love question must be answered. Until the love question is answered, our dominion remains questionable. The love of God is a man's greatest secret for exploits and dominion. In 1 Corinthians 2:9:
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."
When you love God, you become a marvel to your world. Just be a lover of God, and the Holy Spirit will walk with you with so much ease. He does not struggle to walk with people who walk in love. He will reveal the deep things of God to you. Many of you cannot get revelation from God because you don't walk in love.
When you walk in love, the Holy Ghost talks to you as a man talks to his friend. From today, may you hear the voice of God. The master key to dominion is your love for God. Your level of dominion corresponds to your level of love for God.
In Romans 8:35, 37-39:
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?... In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Nothing should separate you from the love of God. Some of you, when you are unmarried, you come to church and you are everywhere. But when you marry, church becomes far. Some of you say, "I would have come to church but my car broke down." If you love God, no distance is far. When you are sick, no hospital is far. When you love God, distance is irrelevant.
I lived on Victory Island and was going to church where it was miles away on public transport. We were having five services, then four. I would be in church by 7:00 a.m. I would wake up at 4:00 a.m. to be there. I was not a pastor—I was a brother. That is what love for God looks like.
In Song of Solomon 8:6:
"Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death: jealousy is cruel as the grave."
You must have a personal revelation and operation of the love of God in your life. This is the gateway to the world of dominion. Mark 12:30 says:
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."
The second is: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
To love God is to live a kingdom priority lifestyle. If you say you love God, the kingdom of God must be your priority. Matthew 6:33 says:
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
It is those whose hearts pursue God who make a mark on the earth. When God and His kingdom become the center of your thoughts, your words, and your actions, then you are set for dominion. That is unquestionable.
In 1 Kings 3:3-4 and 13, Solomon loved the Lord and went to Gibeon to sacrifice a thousand burnt offerings. God said to him:
"I have given thee... riches, and honour, such as there hath not been among the kings that have been before thee."
And it says in Matthew 12:42 that a greater than Solomon is here. God is simply saying: just love Him. You will not be praying for money. He will reveal secrets to you on how you can swim in kingdom wealth. Just love God. You will exercise financial dominion. That is unquestionable. Any Christian who loves God does not beg for money. God reveals to him what will make him make money.
But hear this: if you love God, how many souls have you won? Any love that does not win souls is fake. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. He demonstrates His love through action. In John 21:15-17, Jesus said to Peter, "If you love me," and then He said, "Go feed My lambs... feed My sheep."
You cannot say you love God when the commission is so pressing and you are not there winning souls. If you are looking for money but when the pastor says "soul-winning," you are not there, your love is questionable. Those who love God see soul-winning as a lifestyle. Your heart for the lost is what causes God to touch us on the earth.
In John 15:16:
"Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain."
John 3:16 says:
"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son."
Any love without giving is useless. God loved the world—what did He do? He gave. He preached. He sang. He became a servant. Any love that does not involve giving is fake love. True love of God must be accompanied with giving. You must give to promote the kingdom of God and to be a blessing to humanity.
Every child of God already has the love of God in you. It is not something you pray for. Romans 5:5 says:
"The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
All you need to do is give that love expression. When a married man says "I love you" every day but buys a car for himself, shoes for himself, jewelry for himself, and nothing for his wife, is he showing love? No. He is showing he loves himself.
Many of us are like this with God. We say, "God, I love You," but we buy a car for ourselves, shoes for ourselves, and give nothing to God's kingdom. When the church has a building project, we say, "Why should I give? Let the pastor do it." But when it is worldly, we are the first to invest. Any love that does not involve giving is fake love.
To walk in dominion:
Have a Dominion Mindset – Transform your thinking to transform your life. Your mentality determines your height.
Be Word-Loaded – Everything in life is controlled by the word of God. Your depth in God's word determines the level of dominion you command.
Be a Lover of God – Love is the nature of God. When you walk in love, what answers to God answers to you.
From today, miracles of all kinds will flow in your life. The glory of God shall be revealed in your life in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

God's power—the power with which He rules the world—is hidden in His word. In Romans 1:16, Paul writes:
"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
The power of God is in God's word. Everything in life answers according to the level of your insight in the word. You can only walk in dominion by your understanding of His word.
In Psalm 119:130:
"The entrance of Thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."
When the light of His word enters you, it shines in the darkness. John 1:5 says darkness comprehends it not. God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. When I am word-loaded, I rule in the midst of evil forces.
Paul told Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:13 and 15:
"Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Meditate upon these things... that thy profiting may appear to all."
If you want to profit in dominion, go to the word of God. The depth of the foundation of a building determines the height of the building. Similarly, your depth in God's word determines the level of dominion you command. The more insight you have, the higher you go. The more depth you have in God's word, the more you ascend.
In 1 Peter 2:2, it says:
"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby."
Many of us, after we are born again, don't sit with the word. We keep looking for someone to pray for us. That is not walking in dominion. In Acts 20:32, Paul says:
"Now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."
Knowledge will put you in command. Everything that makes you command in dominion is a function of the word of God. Faith is important, but its source is in God's word. Romans 10:17 says:
"Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
I cannot exercise faith for dominion without the word. Prayer is essential, but you cannot pray to get results without the word first. In 1 John 5:14-15:
"If we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us: and if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him."
Without the word of God, there is no answer. If I want dominion in prosperity, Joshua 1:8 says:
"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."
Your success and prosperity rest on the word. If I want to enjoy peace, Psalm 119:165 says:
"Great peace have they which love Thy law: and nothing shall offend them."
I cannot have peace without the word. If I want healing and health, Psalm 107:20 says:
"He sent His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."
In Proverbs 4:22-23:
"For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
Everything is controlled by the word. If I want power, if I want wisdom, 1 Corinthians 1:24 says:
"Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God."
In John 1:1:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Everything you are looking for is controlled by the word of God. Exodus 4:17 says:
"Thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs."
Isaiah 11:1 speaks of a rod that shall come forth. In John 1:1, that rod is Jesus, the Word. If I want lasting deliverance, John 8:32 says:
"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
Through knowledge shall the just be delivered (Proverbs 11:9). If I want dominion over frustration, in Luke 5:1-7, Peter was frustrated out of his frustration. Jesus spoke to him and said:
"Nevertheless at Thy word I will let down the net."
And the word ended his frustration. Everything in your life is controlled by the word of God. There is actually nothing you can do in the kingdom of God to enjoy dominion without the word. Without the word, you are worthless. Your worth is a function of the word that is in you.
Any area in which you want to enjoy dominion—whether in ministry, business, family, finance, career, or academics—the answer is in the word. Every area of life, you want to exercise dominion? It is in the word.
I have absolute dominion in financial prosperity—because of this book. I saw in God's word that nations don't make people. What is in you makes you. Running from Nigeria to America means nothing unless God sent you. If you have the word of God, anywhere you are, you can make it. No economic crisis can affect a man who is word-loaded.
I had a serious attack on my health years ago. I was threatened with death. I started with the word and I saw Matthew 8:17:
"Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."
I said, "If He took it, then I can't have what He took." I exercised dominion over sickness. Why? Because I saw from His word that Jesus took it two thousand years ago. My body was lying to me, but I said to my body, "You are lying. You are working with the devil." I dominated and walked out of sickness.
In the name of Jesus, everyone who is sick right now—I don't care what disease is in your body. If Jesus took your infirmities, He took it. Whether it's cancer, whether it's diabetes, whatever terminal disease you name—if Jesus took it, you don't have it. I command that foul spirit behind infirmity to get out of your body in the name of Jesus, and I pronounce you healed right now in the name of Jesus.
Finally, to exercise dominion, you must be a lover of God. In 1 John 4:8:
"God is love."
He that loveth not knoweth not God. Love is a person, and that person is God Himself. If I want to walk in dominion, I must have the nature of God, which is love. Because two cannot walk together except they be agreed (Amos 3:3). The easiest way to walk in dominion is to walk in love.
In Ephesians 3:17-19:
"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God."
When you walk in love, you don't pray for things to happen—they happen. When you walk in love, whatever answers to God answers to you. Can God walk towards a door and they shut it against Him? No. Whatever God carries, you carry. If God were to stand before an enemy and speak, that enemy would die. That is who you are. You don't know what you're missing by walking in bitterness and hatred. Walk in the love of God and you will carry God in your being. Miracles will happen.
Jesus did not cancel demons by commanding them—demons left Him. Why? Because He was love personified. When a man walks in love, he does not shout for things to happen. They happen. From today, you will not struggle. Things will happen when you sit. God sits. When you go, God goes.
I sat in a place where a medical doctor who had prostate cancer sat in the seat where I am standing before God. I did not pray. He got up and came back and testified that cancer was gone. Why? It's not me. It is love. Use this love. You who walk in love—God will not find it difficult to use a vessel that walks in love.
When you walk in love, you carry the fullness of God. So when you enter a shop, God enters that shop. When you move, God moves. When your being goes on a flight, God goes on that flight. You don't need to be a pastor. You can be a pastor but if you don't walk in love, a brother will get more than you. It has to do with you understanding the nature of God. God is not prayer. You can fast for forty days and not carry the nature of God if you don't walk in love.
When you understand the power of love, what answers to God answers to you. Jesus met a man called Peter. Peter denied Jesus three times. In John 21:15-17, when Jesus rose from the dead and the church was about to die because Peter went back to fishing, Jesus did something out of love:
"Lovest thou me? ... Feed my lambs... Lovest thou me? ... Feed my sheep."
Peter denied Him three times with his mouth. Jesus reversed the curse three times to bring him back. He cancelled the first denial, then the second, then the third. He said, "My love overtakes whatever mistake you have made. I cancel it."
Whatever mistake you have made that has put you where you are is cancelled in the name of Jesus. The love of God will take you back. Your place that you lost in life shall be restored to you. In Jeremiah 31:3:
"The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."
God's love is not a love of one week, not a love of four years, not a love of three years—it is an everlasting love. May that love change your story right now.
The love question must be answered. Until the love question is answered, our dominion remains questionable. The love of God is a man's greatest secret for exploits and dominion. In 1 Corinthians 2:9:
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."
When you love God, you become a marvel to your world. Just be a lover of God, and the Holy Spirit will walk with you with so much ease. He does not struggle to walk with people who walk in love. He will reveal the deep things of God to you. Many of you cannot get revelation from God because you don't walk in love.
When you walk in love, the Holy Ghost talks to you as a man talks to his friend. From today, may you hear the voice of God. The master key to dominion is your love for God. Your level of dominion corresponds to your level of love for God.
In Romans 8:35, 37-39:
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?... In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Nothing should separate you from the love of God. Some of you, when you are unmarried, you come to church and you are everywhere. But when you marry, church becomes far. Some of you say, "I would have come to church but my car broke down." If you love God, no distance is far. When you are sick, no hospital is far. When you love God, distance is irrelevant.
I lived on Victory Island and was going to church where it was miles away on public transport. We were having five services, then four. I would be in church by 7:00 a.m. I would wake up at 4:00 a.m. to be there. I was not a pastor—I was a brother. That is what love for God looks like.
In Song of Solomon 8:6:
"Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death: jealousy is cruel as the grave."
You must have a personal revelation and operation of the love of God in your life. This is the gateway to the world of dominion. Mark 12:30 says:
"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment."
The second is: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
To love God is to live a kingdom priority lifestyle. If you say you love God, the kingdom of God must be your priority. Matthew 6:33 says:
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
It is those whose hearts pursue God who make a mark on the earth. When God and His kingdom become the center of your thoughts, your words, and your actions, then you are set for dominion. That is unquestionable.
In 1 Kings 3:3-4 and 13, Solomon loved the Lord and went to Gibeon to sacrifice a thousand burnt offerings. God said to him:
"I have given thee... riches, and honour, such as there hath not been among the kings that have been before thee."
And it says in Matthew 12:42 that a greater than Solomon is here. God is simply saying: just love Him. You will not be praying for money. He will reveal secrets to you on how you can swim in kingdom wealth. Just love God. You will exercise financial dominion. That is unquestionable. Any Christian who loves God does not beg for money. God reveals to him what will make him make money.
But hear this: if you love God, how many souls have you won? Any love that does not win souls is fake. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. He demonstrates His love through action. In John 21:15-17, Jesus said to Peter, "If you love me," and then He said, "Go feed My lambs... feed My sheep."
You cannot say you love God when the commission is so pressing and you are not there winning souls. If you are looking for money but when the pastor says "soul-winning," you are not there, your love is questionable. Those who love God see soul-winning as a lifestyle. Your heart for the lost is what causes God to touch us on the earth.
In John 15:16:
"Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain."
John 3:16 says:
"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son."
Any love without giving is useless. God loved the world—what did He do? He gave. He preached. He sang. He became a servant. Any love that does not involve giving is fake love. True love of God must be accompanied with giving. You must give to promote the kingdom of God and to be a blessing to humanity.
Every child of God already has the love of God in you. It is not something you pray for. Romans 5:5 says:
"The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us."
All you need to do is give that love expression. When a married man says "I love you" every day but buys a car for himself, shoes for himself, jewelry for himself, and nothing for his wife, is he showing love? No. He is showing he loves himself.
Many of us are like this with God. We say, "God, I love You," but we buy a car for ourselves, shoes for ourselves, and give nothing to God's kingdom. When the church has a building project, we say, "Why should I give? Let the pastor do it." But when it is worldly, we are the first to invest. Any love that does not involve giving is fake love.
To walk in dominion:
Have a Dominion Mindset – Transform your thinking to transform your life. Your mentality determines your height.
Be Word-Loaded – Everything in life is controlled by the word of God. Your depth in God's word determines the level of dominion you command.
Be a Lover of God – Love is the nature of God. When you walk in love, what answers to God answers to you.
From today, miracles of all kinds will flow in your life. The glory of God shall be revealed in your life in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
