Romans 8:6 (KJV)
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
The Christian has been tranposed from the kingdom of darkness to be a partaker of the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus. Precious child of God, the devil has no right to interfere with anything that pertains to your living. Though the devil is powerless with respect to the Christian, he cunningly dominates some Christians by infiltrating unpleasant and deceptive thoughts into their minds to cause them to live below their identity in Christ. To walk in the fulness of your identity in Christ you must learn to dominate your mind.
The scheme of the devil which has caused some of God's precious people to sway from God's ultimate path operates in the mind. Look at the situation of Eve. The devil used deceptive words to entice her mind to yield to what God had instructed them not to do. Never entertain thoughts that are contrary to the word of God. Jesus Christ knowing the effect of yielding to the deception of the devil, rebuked the devil when he was tempted of him. Whenever thoughts that will cause you to err from your walk in righteousness and holiness come, respond by rebuking them and give thanks to the Father that you are perfect.
Give no place to the devil, because he can only have influence in your living when you allow him. Enjoy the full bliss of the rich inheritance you have in Christ by staying focused in the word and keeping your walk in the Spirit.
DECLARATION
The word of God is my delight and I meditate on it day and night. My mind and heart are set on pleasing the Lord alone. I exercise dominion over the devil and everything that issues from him. I am enjoying the riches of my inheritance in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!

THEME: FROM VICTORY TO VICTORY
1Corinthians 15:57 (KJV)
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Concerning the church, a hymn writer wrote, “From victory unto victory His army shall He lead”. This is a tremendous insight into the ordained living of the Christian: a living of dominion and glory. It's victory everyday. 1Corinthians 15:57 says that God has given you victory in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah! You are victorious in all things! You are fashioned beyond defeat! Romans 8:37 declares you more than a conqueror. Jesus won the victory in his death and resurrection, and having died and risen with him, you came out more than a conqueror.
Imagine a king who, having conquered an enemy in battle, and taken his spoil, still obeys instructions and commands from the defeated foe. It’s absurd, isn’t it? Do you know there are Christians who, although they have defeated sin and death, are still heeding to the flesh and are being dominated in disposition by sin and death? They even confess themselves to be more than conquerors yet they are being dominated by sin and death. That is not your testimony because you are awakened today to dominate sin and death in disposition. You must learn to consciously walk as a victor. As the Holy Spirit stirs up ripples of joy in you, burst into laughter, giving thanks to the Father for giving you mastery over all things in this earthly realm.
Victory dominates. Victory flourishes. Victory expands you. Victory brings joy. Are you enjoying the bounties of your victory in Christ Jesus? They are immeasurable and satiating. Are you entertaining difficulties in your business, career, education or ministry? You are victorious in all things. Exercise the dominion now and enjoy the fruits thereof. Get to your closet and confess that victory now in the name Jesus.
DECLARATION
Thank you Lord for giving me the victory. I am a victor. I have conquered sin and death in my living. Nothing of the devil dominates me. Everyday is a day of victory for me. Glory to the Lord God Jesus.
