"Take possession of the land and settle in it, because I have given it to you to occupy." (Numbers 33:53 NLT) .
Man was never created to be subject to anything but God. Concerning other things man was to take charge, have dominion and rule.. But none of these will take effect or become a reality unless we rise up and take possession of them.
One of the bizarre principles of life and the kingdom is that the fact that something has been given to you does not automatically mean that you have received it. If you are going to receive or have anything that has been given to you, you must wake up and take it. Coincidentally, even the kingdom of God suffereth violence and must be taken by force.
May I remind you that by the everlasting sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, salvation, deliverance, healing, peace, prosperity, success, etc have all been given to you, but to have them, you must take possession of them.
In our scripture, God said to the Israelites, I have GIVEN you the land to settle but you must take possession of it. Rise up child of God and take possession through prayer!
