DOMINION AND RIGHTEOUSNESS


DOMINION AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

 

LOSS OF DOMINION

  • PAUSE
  • FALLEN CROWN
  • IMPRISONED

Matt 22:1-14

1And Jesus answered and spoke to them again by parables and said:

2"The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son,

3"and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come.

4"Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding."'

5"But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business.

6"And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them.

7"But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.

8"Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy.

9'Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.'

10"So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11"But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment.

12"So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless.

13"Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

14"For many are called, but few are chosen."(NKJ)

 

1. WEDDING GARMENT

The man without the wedding garment was found in the following state:

  • Speechless -  dumb
  • Hands bound – can do nothing
  • Feet bound – can go nowhere - LAME
  • Outer darkness - blind
  • Weeping - sorrow
  • Gnashing of teeth – regret

ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE FEATURES OF LOSS OF DOMINION.

WITHOUT THE WEDDING GARMENT THERE IS NO DOMINION.

THE WEDDING GARMENT IS YOUR PRACTICAL RIGHTEOUSNESS.

 

Rev 19:8

And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.(NKJ)

 

Dominion is given to those who walk in practical righteousness. Practical righteousness demonstrates your choosing.

REVIEW PRACTICAL RIGHTEOUSNESS.

DOMINION GIVEN TO THE RIGHTEOUS:

  • JOSEPH
  • DANIEL
  • DAVID

 

DOMINION TAKEN FROM THE UNRIGHTEOUS:

  • SAUL
  • SHEBNA

FEATURES OF PRACTICAL RIGHTEOUSNESS

SEE MNEMONIC “RIGHTEOUS”

The elements in this acronym point to practical features of righteousness.

The violence of these principles results in the loss of dominion. This is equivalent to pressing the pause button in one’s life.

You are in the pause zone if your landscape is not changing.

Unrighteous actions also activate the slow motion button in some folk’s life.

A FEW MAJOR ACTS OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS THAT CAUSES PAUSING.

 

PRIDE

ANGER

UNFORGIVENESS

SLANDER

ENMITY

DISOBEDIENCE

 

1. PRIDE

Review mnemonic “PRIDE”

YOU ARE RIGHT BUT YOU HAVE THE WRONG APPROACH.

EXAMPLES:

  • ATTACKING GRACE

SHIMEI

2 Sam 16:5-13

5Now when King David came to Bahurim, there was a man from the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera, coming from there. He came out, cursing continuously as he came.

6And he threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

7Also Shimei said thus when he cursed: "Come out! Come out! You bloodthirsty man, you rogue!

8"The LORD has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned; and the LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. So now you are caught in your own evil, because you are a bloodthirsty man!"

9Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!"

10But the king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? So let him curse, because the LORD has said to him, 'Curse David.' Who then shall say, 'Why have you done so?'"

11And David said to Abishai and all his servants, "See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life. How much more now may this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for so the LORD has ordered him.

12"It may be that the LORD will look on my affliction, and that the LORD will repay me with good for his cursing this day."

13And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along the hillside opposite him and cursed as he went, threw stones at him and kicked up dust.(NKJ)

IKing 2:36-46

36Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Build yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there anywhere.

37"For it shall be, on the day you go out and cross the Brook Kidron, know for certain you shall surely die; your blood shall be on your own head."

38And Shimei said to the king, "The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do." So Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

39Now it happened at the end of three years, that two slaves of Shimei ran away to Achish the son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, "Look, your slaves are in Gath!"

40So Shimei arose, saddled his donkey, and went to Achish at Gath to seek his slaves. And Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.

41And Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back.

42Then the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, "Did I not make you swear by the LORD, and warn you, saying, 'Know for certain that on the day you go out and travel anywhere, you shall surely die'? And you said to me, 'The word I have heard is good.'

43"Why then have you not kept the oath of the LORD and the commandment that I gave you?"

44The king said moreover to Shimei, "You know, as your heart acknowledges, all the wickedness that you did to my father David; therefore the LORD will return your wickedness on your own head.

45"But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD forever."

46So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and struck him down, and he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.(NKJ)

Attacking grace is like standing in front of a moving bus.

Shimei did not know about David’s legitimate appointment. God does not have to ask anyone for permission before changing the guard. It is up to the individual to discern the new move of God. Shimei did not see Absalom’s rebellion. He saw David in a weak moment and misunderstood it.

Shimei was later relegated to the boundaries of Jerusalem. He publicly pressed the pause button and condemned himself to an unchanging landscape.

 

Attacking grace could be a direct public attack, sms or email. These are characteristics of inflated self-esteem.

  • LEAVING WHEN CORRECTED – PERSONAL EXAMPLES.
  • ATTACKING OTHER BELIEVERS FOR WEAKNESSES – DEFILING THE TEMPLE. PROJECTION OF YOURSELF ABOVE OTHERS.

These folk are doing what is right in their own eyes. They feel above others.

They are attackers, not helpers.

  • FEELINGS OF ENTITLEMENT

“The church is supposed to help me”

Scripture: God is our refuge and strength.

The HOLY SPIRIT is our helper – not the church.

The men came to David to help.

AN ACT OF PRIDE CAN PRESS THE PAUSE BUTTON. FROM THAT MOMENT GOD WILL RESIST YOU.

 

2. ANGER

Eph 4:26

"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,(NKJ)

 

An act of anger can cause you to lose your dominion. This violates your temperance.

  • MOSES AND AARON

Num 20:3-13

3And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying: "If only we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!

4"Why have you brought up the assembly of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here?

5"And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink."

6So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of the LORD appeared to them.

7Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

8"Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals."

9So Moses took the rod from before the LORD as He commanded him.

10And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock; and he said to them, "Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?"

11Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.

12Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

13This was the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the LORD, and He was hallowed among them.(NKJ)

Num 20:24-29

24"Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against My word at the water of Meribah.

25"Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;

26"and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; for Aaron shall be gathered to his people and die there."

27So Moses did just as the LORD commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.

28Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

29Now when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, all the house of Israel mourned for Aaron thirty days.(NKJ)

Deut 34:1-7

1Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan,

2all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea,

3the South, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar.

4Then the LORD said to him, "This is the land of which I swore to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there."

5So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.

6And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day.

7Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor dimished. (NKJ)

 

Moses gets angry with the bickering of the people. He should have taught or chastised the people. Instead he responded to God in anger. Aaron did not correct Moses. The end – result – both pressed the pause button.

Ps 106:32-33

32They angered Him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses on account of them;

33Because they rebelled against His Spirit, so that he spoke rashly with his lips.(NKJ)

MAKE SURE YOU DON’T MAKE THE CARRIER OF GRACE ANGRY.

Prov 14:17

A quick-tempered man acts foolishly, and a man of wicked intentions is hated. (NKJ)

  • NAAMAN

II Ki 5:11-14

11But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, "Indeed, I said to myself, 'He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.'

12"Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage.

13And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean'?"

14So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.(NKJ)

Naaman would have remained a leper if he allowed his anger to prevail.

  • UZZIAH

2 Chr 26:16-20

16But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the LORD his God by entering the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense.

17So Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the LORD-- valiant men.

18And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, "It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the LORD, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the LORD God."

19Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the LORD, beside the incense altar.

20And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because the LORD had struck him.(NKJ)

 

Consequences of “ANGER”

Prov 16:32

He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. (NKJ)

 

DON’T SIN IN YOUR ANGER.

REMEMBER THIS:

Rom 8:28

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (NKJ)

SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOUR PURPOSE IS HIS PURPOSE.

1. ISHMAEL WAS A MISTAKE BUT IT WORKED FOR GOOD FOR JOSEPH. ISHMAEL POSITIONED JOSEPH IN EGYPT.

Gen 50:20-21

20"But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

21"Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.(NKJ)

2.  DAVID TAKES CARE OF THE EGYPTIAN WHO GIVES HIM THE KEY TO  HIS DELIVERANCE.

12But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,

13so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;

14and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.(NKJ)

PERSONAL EXAMPLES:

1. LOSS OF BURSARY

2. PNEUMOTHORAX AND INSURANCE.

3. GUNSHOT AND INSURANCE

4. CULTS DRAW YOU CLOSER TO THE WORD.

5. BLACKOUTS AND MNEMONICS.

 

Deut 8:1-20

1"Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers.

2"And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

3"So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

4"Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.

5"You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.

6"Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

7"For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills;

8"a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;

9"a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.

10"When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.

11"Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,

12"lest-- when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them;

13"and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

14"when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

15"who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock;

16"who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end--

17"then you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.'

18"And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

19"Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

20"As the nations which the LORD destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.(NKJ)

Zech 13:9

I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine them as silver is refined, and test them as gold is tested. They will call on My name, and I will answer them. I will say, 'This is My people'; and each one will say, 'The LORD is my God.' (NKJ)

Phil 1:16-19

16The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;

17but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

18What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

19For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,(NKJ)

REVIEW “TRIALS” AND “TESTING”

3. UNFORGIVENESS

Closely allied with this is bitterness and hatred.

Personal examples:

Roy and his attack on a prophet.

Years of bitterness and blaming others.

Serious consequences to his person.

This violates your internal purity.

Forgive quickly.

Unforgiveness for being corrected.

4. SLANDER

Num 12:1-16

1Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2So they said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?" And the LORD heard it.

3(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)

4Suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, "Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!" So the three came out.

5Then the LORD came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward.

6Then He said, "Hear now My words: if there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.

7Not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.

8I speak with him face to face, even plainly, and not in dark sayings; and he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?"

9So the anger of the LORD was aroused against them, and He departed.

10And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.

11So Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.

12"Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb!"

13So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "Please heal her, O God, I pray!"

14Then the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and after that she may be received again."

15So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey on till Miriam was brought in again.

16And afterward the people moved from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran. (NKJ)

The nation paused in their journey for days because of slander of God’s servant.

DOMINION COMES WHEN ACCUSATION IS CAST OUT.

Rev 12:9-11

9So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

11"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.(NKJ)

5. ENMITY

  • CAIN AND ABEL

Gen 4:6-9

6So the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen?

7"If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."

8Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

9Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"(NKJ)

  • HAMAN AND MORDECAI

Esth 3:5-15

5When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow or pay him homage, Haman was filled with wrath.

6But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Instead, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus-- the people of Mordecai.

7In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman to determine the day and the month, until it fell on the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

8Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people's, and they do not keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.

9"If it pleases the king, let a decree be written that they be destroyed, and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who do the work, to bring it into the king's treasuries."

10So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

11And the king said to Haman, "The money and the people are given to you, to do with them as seems good to you."

12Then the king's scribes were called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and a decree was written according to all that Haman commanded-- to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province, to the officials of all people, to every province according to its script, and to every people in their language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and sealed with the king's signet ring.

13And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.

14A copy of the document was to be issued as law in every province, being published for all people, that they should be ready for that day.

15The couriers went out, hastened by the king's command; and the decree was proclaimed in Shushan the citadel. So the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Shushan was perplexed.(NKJ)

  • SAUL AND DAVID

1 Sam 20:30-34

30Then Saul's anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

31"For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die."

32And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, "Why should he be killed? What has he done?"

33Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.

34So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.(NKJ)

 

6. DISOBEDIENCE

Deut 28:23

"And your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you shall be iron. (NKJ)

Deut 28:15

"But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments and His statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:(NKJ)

Deut 28:49-52

49"The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand,

50"a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young.

51"And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.

52"They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the LORD your God has given you.

(NKJ)

Deut 28:65-68

65"And among those nations you shall find no rest, nor shall the sole of your foot have a resting place; but there the LORD will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and anguish of soul.

66"Your life shall hang in doubt before you; you shall fear day and night, and have no assurance of life.

67"In the morning you shall say, 'Oh, that it were evening!' And at evening you shall say, 'Oh, that it were morning!' because of the fear which terrifies your heart, and because of the sight which your eyes see.

68"And the LORD will take you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said to you, 'You shall never see it again.' And there you shall be offered for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you."(NKJ)

DOMINION IS GIVEN TO SONS OF GOD.

Rom 8:16-17

16The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

17and if children, then heirs-- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.(NKJ)
