The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies! Psalm 110:2 (NKJV)
The best place and time to display the authority, greatness, wisdom, power, glory and wealth of God in us is right here and now on earth. It’s not when we get to heaven and wear crowns that we will begin to reign.God wants us to rule in the midst of our enemies.Ruling in the midst of your enemies is like Isaac sowing in a drought and harvesting a hundred-fold. It’s realizing your dreams come through like Joseph even though your own family don’t believe in you. It’s like Daniel, having a spirit of excellence, refusing to compromise in the midst of a culture and society that’s against your faith, it’s getting promoted, having influence, and prospering in a hostile environment. It’s like Jesus revealing the love and compassion of the Father in the midst of hate, rejection and unbelief.Show love and generosity where there’s selfishness, live in peace where there’s turmoil, show forgiveness where there’s resentment, spread hope where there’s despair, dispense healing where there are hurts, be joy where there’s sadness.Be the salt that seasons and the light that dispels the darkness.
