<center>**STATUS IS A KEY WORD FOR VICTORY.**</center>




Status is a key word for victory in any form of spiritual confrontation. Your rank which can be interchangeably used to mean your status waits to be affirmed. It is one thing the devil seeks to ascertain which determines whether he stays on or he loses grip. God our Father is the Father of all spirits, He is the Head of all principality and powers. He enjoys a ranking that has no rival in the realm of His creation; in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. If you can affirm the right standing that you have with Him, no devil will succeed in making your life chaotic: 


>*“Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.*



God’s ranking rubs on us; because, we are His offspring. The Bible says in Revelation 5:10; that, Christ 


>*“hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth”.*


We reign by the ranking which divine grace has bestowed upon us. It is a ranking that is superior to whatever the devil thinks of himself. Your ranking is sustained from above and whatsoever is from above is above all and “all” includes everything that the devil stands for. If you will learn to affirm your rank as a king and a priest in any form of spiritual conflict; you will see the devil take to his heels another potent aspect of status is position. Position well affirmed relocates the devil any day and he never sees you as a candidate for affliction.



Affirming your position of superiority over the devil and all his gimmicks is something that crushes the devil and it gets you beyond his reach. The Bible says in Ephesians 2:6; that, God 


>*“hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” and now, your life is hid with Christ in God.*


 Affirming your “sitting position” in Christ in the heavenly places, cripples the enemy and he sees you as an impossible task to execute. Your positioning forbids the triumph of the enemy over you. It is the truth you need to keep rehearsing to the devil. It is the truth which when imbibed gives you a comportment which the enemy cannot withstand.
