If you don’t know your Kingdom rights, the devil’s child who knows his own will easily ride over your head. Ignorance of spiritual authority leaves many believers vulnerable to fear, manipulation, and oppression. Understanding your spiritual authority is not optional; it is crucial for every Christian. When you know what God has granted you, you can stand firmly, resist the enemy, and walk in confidence—constantly reminding yourself, do you know your authority. Living in ignorance, however, opens the door for intimidation and control by others who are spiritually informed.
Many believers live in fear simply because they have not been taught their rights in Christ. They see charms, talismans, and curses and immediately assume they are powerless. They watch others tremble before superstition and conclude that it must be real. The truth, however, is that what God has given you in the Kingdom is greater than anything the enemy can devise. Knowing your rights brings freedom, boldness, and authority. It allows you to stand firm, even when fear surrounds you.
I remember a story from my childhood that illustrates this truth very clearly. As a young boy, I often accompanied my father to the farm. He was a man of strong faith, fearless in the face of threats that terrified the entire village. In our community, there was a man who had a notorious reputation for terrorizing people using an idol of the land called Ekpo. He relied on fear and superstition to control those around him, and very few dared to oppose him, yet my father lived with the understanding that you have power over demons and refused to be intimidated by what others feared.
This man had developed a system that almost everyone in the village respected, or rather, feared. If Mr. Ekpo wanted someone’s farm or land, he would place an object known as oyita on the property. Oyita was not just an object—it was a symbol of domination and a tool of fear. Once it was placed on a person’s land, the villagers believed no one could enter or reclaim that land without facing serious consequences. The oyita represented power, intimidation, and what many considered supernatural authority.
People were so terrified that they abandoned their farms immediately. The moment they left, the land automatically became Mr. Ekpo’s property, at least in the eyes of the village. Many families lost their crops, their livelihood, and their peace of mind because of this system. The fear was so pervasive that people avoided the farms even if they were in dire need of food. The villagers had been conditioned to believe that the oyita carried real power, and no one dared challenge it—except my father, who understood don’t wait on God to do for you what He has empowered you to do and chose to stand his ground instead of surrendering to fear.
One day, as we arrived at our farm, we saw the oyita standing right there. It was a bold statement by Mr. Ekpo, a warning that he intended to claim our land as he had done with so many others. Everyone immediately recognized what had happened, because this man had a notorious reputation for such acts. Many children and villagers would whisper about him, avoiding confrontation at all costs. But my father had a different response altogether.
What my father did that day was remarkable. He calmly walked up to the oyita, removed it from our land, and carried it to the man’s own property. He placed it there and returned to our farm as if nothing had happened. There was no fear, no hesitation, no signs of intimidation. To anyone watching, it was shocking. Here was a man who refused to bow to superstition, a man who understood his authority and exercised it boldly.
The man who had terrorized our village was left completely speechless. He had finally met someone who was not afraid of what everyone else feared. The oyita, which had ruled over so many for so long, held no power over my father. From that day onward, the man avoided him completely, fearing confrontation and realizing that his intimidation tactics no longer worked. Even though we passed his compound almost every day on our way to the farm, he never dared approach or challenge my father again—showing what happens when you unlock your spiritual authority and refuse to bow to fear.
This story is more than a childhood memory; it is a powerful lesson about Kingdom rights. The oyita only had power because the villagers believed it did. My father’s knowledge of his authority and his fearlessness exposed the deception behind the superstition. When Christians know their rights in Christ, fear loses its grip. The devil’s schemes, which often rely on ignorance and intimidation, are rendered powerless before those who walk in faith.
Now let me ask you: do you truly know your Kingdom rights as a Christian, or are you still intimidated by charms, superstition, and the fear of what others believe? Many believers live their entire lives under fear simply because they do not know the authority God has given them. They allow intimidation, threats, and lies to dictate their actions instead of standing firm in God’s truth.
Understanding your authority changes everything. Once you realize that God has equipped you with His Spirit, protection, and power, fear no longer rules your life. Superstitions, charms, and even threats from others lose their influence over you. The moment you recognize and exercise your rights in Christ, you are empowered to claim victory over every situation the enemy tries to use to intimidate you.
This is not a lesson about physical objects or childhood memories alone—it is a spiritual truth for every believer. The Bible teaches that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places and have authority over all the power of the enemy. When the enemy tries to dominate you through fear, deception, or intimidation, it is only because you are unaware of what God has granted you. Knowledge of your Kingdom rights brings confidence, peace, and authority.
Do not allow fear to dictate your life. Do not allow the ignorance of spiritual rights to keep you in bondage to what others fear. Stand firm. Know your authority. Walk boldly, as my father did, and refuse to bow to intimidation. The enemy cannot prevail against a child of God who knows who they are and whose they are.
Remember this: fear has no place when you walk in the truth of God’s Word. Knowledge of your rights brings freedom, and freedom brings boldness. Do not allow superstition, charms, or human intimidation to control you. Instead, embrace your inheritance, exercise your authority, and live courageously as a child of the Most High.
