For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. (Romans 6:14)
Being born again, after confessing the Lordship of Jesus over your life, sin has completely lost dominion over your life. Lord means master, controller, instructor, caretaker, and leader. So, now its Jesus who controls your life through the Holy Spirit in you, and thus no sin can keep you in its bondage.
There’s a force of wisdom and righteousness at work in you now, because the Greater One lives in you! He guides and instructs you from within – in the paths of righteousness – propelling you to do right and fulfill the will of God for your life. This is the reason the Apostle Paul declared that “…sin shall not have dominion over you …” (Romans 6:14).
Sin can no longer have the mastery or lordship over you because you’ve yielded to the Lordship of Jesus. Now, you have inside you a propelling force from within to do the will of God: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Thus, you can break the power of sin and put an end to any bad habit in your life today.
Prayer:
Precious Father, thank you for making me your son. As I have declared the Lordship of Jesus upon my life, sin has lost all control and dominion over me. I refuse to yield to any sin and by the power of the Spirit reign in life for my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
