God has already given you the authority—you don’t need to fight for it. You need to walk in it. Don’t let fear, sin, or doubt hold you back from living in the power Christ has made available. Instead, rise up, take your place, and enforce heaven’s will on earth. Your authority as a believer is real, powerful, and active—if only you will believe and walk in it.
The Bible says civil authorities are God’s servants who give their full time to governing (see Romans 13:6). Think about this! They don’t preach the gospel, but the work they do is still regarded as ministerial work. So, if that is so, what makes you think you don’t need to obey them? As much as you obey your pastor, obey the governing authorities also. It’s for your own good.
Don’t leave your life to chance and think everything will just be fine. I tell you, the evil in this world is so great that without prayer, you can’t make much of an impact. Press on!
God’s Word is a hammer and fire (see Jeremiah 23:29). It breaks every rock (things like hard-core bad habits and persistent negative occurrences) into pieces. But the potency of the Word is not seen when it is treated lightly and not preached with divine authority.
When you get born again, you have access to all the privileges in God’s grace. But God, in His wisdom, will deny you access to some of them so that you’ll grow in grace and knowledge of Him. And when that happens, it’ll be easy to manage that blessing when they start coming.
Don’t go out to preach without divine authority. If you do, you will return with hurts instead of joy because God hasn’t validated you. The ministry isn’t just about holding a microphone or standing before crowds. It is more about delivering oppressed people, which can’t be done without divine authority. Be guided!
No man on this Earth, no matter where he finds himself, can live up to God’s standards if he does not bow to the majesty of Christ. And it becomes more dangerous when such a man is married. Why? Because it affects not only his life but also his family.
Have you not read Titus 2:12, where the Bible tells us that grace teaches us to deny all manner of ungodliness? You have the power to silence every demonic thought suggested by the enemy in your mind to taunt you to do anything God won’t be pleased with.
Even though not all rulers and authorities do the right thing every time, they are there because God placed them there. For that sake, you must be subject to them. So, dear believer, be a law-abiding citizen of your country and voice your opinion when it matters, but don’t insult government officials.
You cannot have an impactful ministry if you speak like a toddler before people, even if God has anointed you. No! You need divine authority to fuel your charisma to lead and teach God’s people entrusted in your hands.
We live in an evil age. So the devil won’t watch you have a life full of bliss without trying to do something to turn you down. You must pray.
You have authority over the enemy and his demons. But if you don’t use it, they can capitalise on your ignorance and cause harm in your life without you knowing how to do anything about it. The devil is never your friend, so don’t entertain his evil ways in your life.
