DIVINE DECREES
Psalm 2:7 KJV
I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
A divine decree as shown above is a pronouncement of the will of God spoken into the earth, not subject to human debate or appeal. It will be accomplished irrespective of human or demonic opposition, by the force of spiritual arms through the ministry of angels.
God issues divine decrees into the earth, to overrule human laws or decrees of human governments that are contrary to the divine will (Dan. 3:28-29).
Daniel 4:17 KJV
This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
In the above Scripture, we see a divine decree issued into the earth through Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, which would bring severe divine judgment on Nebuchadnezzar, so that he would acknowledge that the true God of heaven rules in the affairs of men (Dan. 4:33-37).
It is instructive to note that divine decrees are given by God through men who, like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, position themselves, through prayer and living a life of obedience, to be entrusted with such divine favour and responsibility.
We see this explicitly stated in:
Job 22:23, 28 KJV
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
There are three conditions shown in the Scripture above:
1. Return to God: turn away from our wicked ways of rejection, or ignoring of the instruction of the wisdom of the just (Psa. 50:16-17).
2. Get built up by the Word and the Spirit (Act. 20:32; Jude 1:20).
3. Put away iniquity from your tabernacle: will, mind, emotions and physical body, by dominating sin.
As we practice these things, we will be in a position to issue divine decrees into the earth that will be established to us!
