Call UsNo Death For You! – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional December 10th
(You Have Dominion Over Death And Hell)
TO THE BIBLE: Revelation 1:18 CEV
“…I died, but now I am alive forever, and I have the keys to death and the world of the dead.”
LET’S TALK
While teaching a class, Miss Bernadette emphatically declared that everyone born into this world would inevitably die someday.
But Miles thought differently because of what he had learned from God’s Word. So he raised his hand politely and said, “Ma’am, that’s not how it goes for me. Jesus defeated death, and because I’m in Him, I have dominion over death.”
The Bible says, “…Through one man (Adam) sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned” (Romans 5:12).
Death was associated with sin, so when Adam committed high treason back in the Garden of Eden by obeying Satan, death began to work in every man.
Satan gained the liberty to afflict men with sickness, disease, destruction, and ultimately death at his will.
But when Jesus came, things changed. Men and women who were all their lives subject to bondage because of the fear of death were liberated through the victory of Jesus Christ over death and the grave (Hebrews 2:14-15).
Jesus went right into hell—Satan’s domain—paralysed Satan and his crew and obtained the keys of death and hell! He dealt with the problem of death when He triumphantly rose from the dead and ushered man into a new life.
Today, anyone who’s born again need not fear death, for death has been defeated by Jesus. No wonder the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:54-57, ”…“Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” He’s given us victory over death and the grave.
Today, Satan can no longer take anybody’s life at will because he doesn’t have the power of death anymore. Christ has given us life to live to the full. In His presence is fullness of joy, and at His right hand are pleasures evermore.
“The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)” (John 10:10 AMPC).

Romans 6:9-11; 2 Timothy 1:8-10; Hebrews 2:14-15
Speak:
I’m crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. The life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God! I’ve been brought into life and immortality. I’m fearless, for death has been paralysed—defeated by Jesus, and when He did it, I was in Him! Hallelujah!
