Rhapsody of Realities 4 September 2025: Possessing the Gates of Your Enemies
SCRIPTURE: Genesis 22:17 ..and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.
When God reaffirmed His covenant with Abraham after he offered Isaac, He made a profound promise: “…thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies.” This wasn’t just about land or territory. In biblical terms, the “gate” of a city represented authority, governance and control. Therefore, to possess the gate means to take charge spiritually, economically and politically; to be in dominion.
That promise wasn’t just for Abraham’s immediate descendants. Galatians 3:16 makes it clear: “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made… And to thy seed, which is Christ.” Being in Christ means you’re Abraham’s seed and a joint-heir of this promise. This means you’re not a victim of circumstances. You have dominion. You have authority over the adversary. You’re empowered to dominate the systems of this world for the Kingdom of God. You can influence education, government, business, technology—whatever field God has placed you in. Take possession. Remember what the Bible says, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force” (Matthew 11:12).
This is about inheritance, influence and victory. Exercise dominion in every area of your life and your world. You’re not here to barely survive—you’re here to reign! So, rise up and speak. Take possession through prayer, your faith-filled declarations, and action. Don’t watch evil dominate your environment; cast it out. Possess the “gates” through the authority in the Name of Jesus.

15 The Angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time
16 And said, I have sworn by Myself, says the Lord, that since you have done this and have not withheld [from Me] or begrudged [giving Me] your son, your only son,
17 In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies,
Matthew 16:18-19
18 And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra—a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it].
19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.
Galatians 3:29
29 And if you belong to Christ [are in Him Who is Abraham’s Seed], then you are Abraham’s offspring and [spiritual] heirs according to promise.
