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.
To prevent running into trouble, obey the laws of your country and focus on living purposefully to please God. That way, you can enjoy peace in your own life. However, never forget to pray for those in authority – that God will turn their hearts to do what is right and not what their selfish cravings long for.
You may ask whether people in authority need prayers. After all, don’t they have enough money and security? Yes, they do. Why? If you don’t pray for them, their minds will start conceiving evil thoughts. And when such thoughts get implemented, people will suffer, including you.
The devil is very cunning and deceptive. He can masquerade evil and present it as good in your mind. And as a believer, you must be highly discerning to know the thoughts which are of the devil and of God’s.
You have what it takes to subdue the Earth. You are spiritually blessed in Christ. But it takes divine wisdom to draw out such spiritual blessings to life for the impact of generations, even those unborn. Will you quit depending on corrupt politicians and government officials to do what God has called you to do?
Jesus once said that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. How does that apply to us as believers now worshipping in diverse congregations daily? Find out more in this article.
