REIGNING WITH CHRIST IN MY KINGDOM BY HER MAJESTY, DR. JOSEPHINE DIETE-SPIFF ESQ, JP, QUEEN OF TWON BRASS KINGDOM, BAYELSA STATE, NIGERIA. (CONCLUSION)

HEALING AND DELIVERANCE MINISTRY

God called me into the ministry through a dream in 1999, after I had my twin and last children. He gave me Mark 16:17-18 KJV, which I heard paraphrased this way: “These signs shall follow you because you believe; In my name, you shall cast out demons; you shall speak with new tongues; [18] You shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and you shall recover”.

Since then, the signs have not ceased to follow me. I have been poisoned but survived; attackers have tried to harm me but failed. I have laid hands on the sick, and they have been healed; even barren women have had babies. God has been faithful to his calling on my life. The enemy has threatened my life, marriage, and family. Twice, I almost lost my husband, but I laid my hands on him, and he recovered. My children and I have been in accidents, but God has delivered us without a scratch. My spirit cannot stop singing praises to God. He is an awesome God and, indeed, a miracle worker. Knowing the Lord and having a personal relationship with him is joyful. I am so blessed because it is a privilege.

CHARGE TO THOSE IN AUTHORITY

Proverbs 3:5-6 NLT: Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

The essence of a Queen’s or leader’s existence is to obey God and enhance humanity.

• Every platform one is given in life has a purpose. The role of a queen or leader is to benefit others. So, touch lives by giving and championing the truth, even in difficulty, and God will show up for you. For the truth shall always set us free – John 8:32
• Be willing to learn and develop yourself
• Use your God-given opportunities, resources, and establishments to better your community, advance the people’s progress, and add value to lives with great respect.
• God’s assignment requires preparation, so gain the knowledge needed for the purpose you were created for; an enlightened leader will produce an enlightened community.
• Be committed to your words through actions; delay may occur, but never denial.
• Be a good listener, give both sides of a story equal opportunity, and encourage honesty.
• Do what is lawful, act with integrity, put God’s laws first, trust in God for positive outcomes, and be sincere in your relationships with people.
• Be strong, hard-working, courageous, and responsible in every action, standing up under pressure – Joshua 1:8
• Make obstacles your stepping stones to greatness; never be afraid to overcome them and never stop trying.
• Always remind yourself of the maxim that where there is no pain, there is no gain.
• Be ready to be addressed the way you dress.

As a leader, one must:

• Acknowledge God as your sole helper and trust him
• Reach out to the people in your constituency
• Promote peace, unity, and harmony within your respective constituency.
• Learn and practice mediation to foster peaceful coexistence.
• Equip yourself with the mental, moral, and social capacity to drive positive attitudinal changes among the people in your constituency.
• Make provisions for youth education, protection, development, and empowerment.
• Develop the ability to attract social and welfare packages for the underprivileged – Proverbs 19:17.
• Be productive and encourage productivity among the human folk by improving your knowledge of entrepreneurial skills, among others.

CONCLUSION

My success in leadership and life is entirely based on my salvation and God’s calling—his grace, opportunities, and openings. The challenges I faced taught me valuable lessons, and God’s grace was sufficient to give me victory because he is ever faithful. His words in Joshua 1:9 NLT say, “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

To reign successfully as an earthly queen or leader, one must not bow to any other God or power but Christ. One can be powerful and wealthy without being corrupt, as God is the author of power and wealth – Philippians 4:19, Deuteronomy 8:18. Trust in God, because he will never leave you if you don’t leave him, for his mercies are from everlasting to everlasting to those who fear him – Psalm 103:17.

To enjoy leadership and to thwart the enemy’s plans to rob you of eternity, you must trust in God by asking Jesus to come into your life and forgive you, because we have all come up short of his glory – Romans 3:23 NLT – “For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.”

Afterward, build a deep relationship with God by spending time with him, reading and meditating on his word (the Bible), worshiping him, and living a life of thanksgiving. As he was with Joseph, so he is with me, Josephine; that’s how he will be with you all the days of your reign and life, and you will lack nothing. Shalom!
