There was a very rich man who lived in a beautiful estate with his only son. The man was extremely busy and traveled frequently due to the demands of his work. Despite his busy schedule, he ensured that his son lacked nothing.
One day, he decided to travel again. This time, however, he did not tell his son when he would return because his trip would be longer than usual. Before leaving, he made careful preparations. He provided everything his son would need to maintain the estate in his absence—teaching him how to walk in your spiritual authority, so he could manage, protect, and represent his father’s interests with confidence and responsibility.
The man understood that after some time, certain challenges would arise. He knew that the environment might begin to attract pests—rats, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and flies. So, in his wisdom, he supplied his son with everything needed to handle these problems: insecticides, rat poison, and other tools to keep the estate clean and safe. In the same way, he made him understand the power you have over the Devil and demons, equipping him with the authority and resources needed to confront and overcome any disturbance.
After putting everything in place, the man left for his journey. From time to time, he checked on his son through phone calls to ensure everything was going well.
Then one day, the son called his father in distress. His voice was urgent and troubled. When the father asked what was wrong, the son replied,
“Daddy, please come and help me deal with the rats, cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes.”
You can imagine the father’s reaction. Everything the son needed to solve the problem had already been provided. The issue was not a lack of resources—it was a failure to use what had been given.
This story perfectly reflects what many Christians do today.
God has already given us everything we need to deal with the devil and his works. He has equipped us with authority, power, and spiritual tools. Yet, when challenges arise, many believers cry out for God to come down and handle situations He has already empowered them to address.
Fear rules the lives of those who do not know their kingdom rights. Therefore, it is essential that you understand your kingdom rights.
In a sense, God could be asking, “What are you doing with the authority I have already given you?”
Consider how many times Christians pray, “Father, put an end to every operation of the devil in my life.” While this may sound spiritual, it often reflects a misunderstanding of responsibility. We are asking God to do what He has already commanded and empowered us to do.
It does not say, “Ask God to resist the devil for you.” The responsibility is placed on the believer.
God has already given you the “insecticide” and the “rat poison”—your authority in Christ, the Word of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Your role is to use them. When you take your stand and exercise your authority, heaven backs you up.
However, if you refuse to act, God will not step in to do what you have been empowered to do. Not because He is unwilling, but because He has already completed His part.
Use your authority. Stand your ground. Resist the enemy.
Because victory is not given to those who only pray—it is experienced by those who act on what God has already provided.
A person who knows their kingdom rights will stand up to anyone who tries to bully them.
