Reigning in Life

Preached by Apostle Sydney Quaye, the Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church. 

In “Reigning in Life,” Apostle Sydney Quaye teaches from Romans 5:17 that the believer is not meant to struggle through life but to reign in life through Jesus Christ. He explains that Christ has given us two powerful gifts: the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness. Through the finished work of Jesus, believers are not merely forgiven but declared righteous, and this righteousness becomes the foundation for living with authority, victory, and influence. When a believer understands this truth, fear, condemnation, and limitation lose their hold because we are no longer trying to earn God’s acceptance—we are already standing right with Him.

Apostle Sydney emphasizes that righteousness is both a gift received from Christ and an identity we must embrace. Christ in us makes us righteous, and we in Christ become the righteousness of God, representing His nature and power on earth. From this revelation flows a life of dominion: believers overcome challenges, walk in influence, and express God’s grace in every area—family, work, health, and purpose. This message calls believers to stop living beneath their inheritance and to boldly step into their God-given position, reigning in life with great grace, great power, and sufficient grace for every circumstance.
