Principalities refer to dominions at various spiritual and physical realms that Christians of all ages, in all countries, in all professions, irrespective of their languages and gender must have to contend with every day as they desire to walk with the Lord Jesus Christ and achieve the best of their labors in all available opportunity through grace of God, through their education, exposures, training, callings, and through their personal efforts in their chosen professions, in their families and personal lives. Principalities are instituted dominions governed by numerous spiritual and physical laws at various levels which people are forcefully or willingly subjected to obey and to follow deliberately, or they fight wholeheartedly to overcome by faith in order for them to be what they want in life; to have what they need in life; to see what they rightly deserve to see, and to fulfill their desires based on their dreams, visions, professions and determination. Principalities operate in a progressive hierarchy in each level and domain. They are secluded in secrets, indulged in dark and wicked practices, and their activities shrouded in deep secrecy and mysticism. That was what Christ Jesus confronted on our behalf right in their domains and levels of operations beginning from the smallest to the greatest. “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man, therefore, judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.” Colossians 2:14-16
The scripture says even though their activities are done in secrecy, Jesus Christ took them on in their various domains and levels and in their respective hierarchy openly on our behalf and had victory and triumphed over their plans against us, over their works of evil and wickedness that are against us, and over all of their imaginations and desires thereafter. Nothing was left undone and none was postponed. Each level of the principality hierarchy has its own level commander; its own set of laws and rules; its own requirements for membership and its own head. Their ultimate controller is Satan and his wicked angels and demons who were driven out from the presences of God in their rebellion and they work in active collaboration with willing human being as agents. While in the grave, it was a day and time that for absolute control of the people of God for eternity; it was a day and time for Satan to be declared a failure; it was a day and time for the Spirit of God to defeat the spirits of Satan; it was a day and time for the Son of God to stand up against Satan and against his works; it was a day and time for good to fight and defeat evil forever; it was a day and time for peace to be restored and reign against all forms of chaos that Satan had caused and is causing in the lives of people.
When Christ was alive, Christ spoke to human beings on the importance of godliness, worship, lifestyle, righteousness, faithfulness, sin and the plans of God for man and what men need to do to earn what had been promised by God. He talked about repentance, forgiveness, love, sincerity, contentment and believes. He persuaded men to believe His words and shun ungodly acts. Christ did His ultimate best to reveal the true love and person of the Almighty God and He lived it. On the cross, He took our sins, our sorrows, our curse, our pains, our condemnation, our shame, our weaknesses, our mistakes and all our inadequacies along and nailed them there. On the Cross, He paid the ultimate price for our ultimate and everlasting freedom from sin and all its consequences and everything the devil will ever plan against us and everything else that will ever want to make us look sorrowful or live in sorrow if we will obediently believe and diligently follow Him. The principalities and powers were defeated no our behalf. For Prayers Click here
