Death Has No Dominion Over You

Are you afraid of death? Many people for fear of death have taken wrong steps and decisions, yet death has no power over a Christian believer, except he or she allows it. God promises to satisfy you with long life (Psalm 91:16) and to fulfill the number of your days (Exodus 23:26). This post seeks to free you from the fear of death and its consequences.

And release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage- Hebrews 2:15 (NKJV).

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him – Romans 6:8-9 (NKJV).

Fear of death is a weapon with which the enemy has held many in bondage. Fear of death has caused many to follow the dictates of the devil. Also, people walk about with fear of sudden attack because they are afraid of dying, and as such open the door for the enemy to attack them; for the scriptures say the following: fear has torments (1 John 4:18), your expectation shall not be cut off (Proverbs 23:18, KJV), as man thinks in his heart so is he (Proverbs 23:7), and you shall have what you say (Mark 11:23). When you expect negative things and confess the same, it won’t be long for them to become realities in your life. You need to beware of this temptation to fear death and resist it!

Death the last thing to be destroyed (1 Corinthians 15:26) has no dominion over Christ, and anyone who receives Jesus as his personal Lord and Saviour also enjoys same victory- death has no dominion over him. Fear of death is of the devil but the fear of the Lord is life and it turns you from the snares of death (Proverbs 14:27). God has not given you the spirit of fear but of power, of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). You didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but of adoption so you can cry out “Abba Father” knowing that He is your Sun and Shield (Psalm 84:11), and your life is hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). Who then can touch you? If God be for you who can be against you? (Romans 8:31). Read more...
