You can’t understand ‘far above’ until you understand what is called 'hierarchy of government', or in ministry, 'chains of command'.
In Nigeria, the highest in authority is the president and after the president is the vice. The president is above the vice but not far above the vice.
After the vice president, is the senate president, speaker of the house, chief judge, the senators, the house of reps, the governors, the deputy governor, the speaker of the house, the house members, commissioners, local government chairmen, counselors, wards.

So the bible is saying that if you use Nigeria as an example, you are the President and the devil is in charge of wards; you are the President, sickness and barrenness are in charge of wards.
You are the most high as long as this earth is concerned and you are confronting the most low; that is why the bible said resist the devil...it didn’t say he will walk away but he will will flee away from you.
If you tell a common counselor that the president is looking for him, first, he will be troubled because the gap between him and the president is very wide.

There is tremendous gap between you and the things confronting you.
Ephesians 1:19-23
