TOPIC: SUBDUE
MEMORISE:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10-11
READ: Mark 16:17-18
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
MESSAGE
To subdue means to overcome and then exercise dominion. In Genesis 39:1-6, Joseph was brought into Potiphar's house as a slave. However, God's blessing made a way for him, and Potiphar put him in charge of everything in his house. When Joseph ended up in prison after his master's wife lied against him, he was asked to be in charge of the prison's affairs (Genesis 39:20- 23). Eventually, Joseph ended up being a mighty ruler in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh.
And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine Iinen, and put a gold chain about his neck; And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. Genesis 41:42-44
According to Philippians 2:9-11, you can control situations and circumstances because of the name of Jesus Christ. Likewise, Mark 16:17-1 8 says:
And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shalI speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
As a child of God, you have access to the name of Jesus Christ, and this means that you should operate in dominion - you should be unstoppable. In Acts 5:17-29, when Peter and his colleagues were imprisoned, the angel of the Lord came at night and set them free. When Peter was captured and put in prison again in Acts 12:1-17, God moved again and set him free.
Beloved, your story will only get better than it is currently so long as Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Proverbs 4:18 says that the path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day. This means that, no matter what the enemy has done, your life is to be better today than it was yesterday. Believe in the name of Jesus wholeheartedly and use His name to subdue any negative situation that arises around you. This way, you will indeed walk in dominion, and nothing will be able to stop you.
KEY POINT
The name of Jesus is your weapon to subdue and have dominion on the earth.

HYMN 50: CONQUERORS AND OVERCOMERS NOW ARE WE*
1 Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We,
Thro' The Precious Blood Of Christ We've Victory
If The Lord Be For Us, We Can Never Fail,
Nothing 'Gainst His Mighty Pow'r Can E'er Prevail.
Refrain:
Conquerors Are We, Through The Blood Of Jesus,
God Wil Give Us Victory,
Through The Blood Of Jesus,
Thro' The Lamb For Sinners Slain,
Yet Who Lives And Reigns Again,
More Than Conquerors Are We,
More Than Conquerors Are We.
2 In The Name Of Israel's God We'll Onward Press,
Overcoming Sin And All Unrighteousness;
Not To Us, But Unto Him The Praise Shall Be,
For Salvation And For Blood Bought Victory. Refrain
3 Unto Him That Overcometh Shall Be Given,
Here To Eat Of Hidden Manna Sent From Heav'n,
Over Yonder He The Victors Palm Shall Bear,
And A Robe Of White, And Golden Crown Shall Wear. Refrain
