Who Is In Charge? (Part 2)

Hello everyone,

For some days, I’ve been writing on what I call, ‘The Authority Series’, with emphasis on how every born again member of the body of Christ has received the undiluted power and authority over the heavens, earth and under the earth in Jesus Christ. I’ve also been explaining how God had given man authority over the earth from the beginning which Jesus exercised while here on earth. Today, I will continue from where I stopped yesterday.

Jesus was in charge when He walked on earth, there was nothing He did that was really spectacular that no other couldn’t do, but the reason why they couldn’t was that they were under the first Adam who lost his right. God would not say a thing and it won’t be so, the same thing Jesus exercised here on earth, He wouldn’t tell Peter to launch into the deep unless He had authority over the fishes of the sea. We have been punishing ourselves all the while, and why is that? It is because, while Jesus was on earth, He exercised authority over the earth alone, but now God gave Him authority over the heavens, earth and under the earth, and this is the authority every born again person has at their disposal.

We are not going to get this authority because we already have it right now. The challenge is that we have been so engrossed in the fallen nature of man that we don’t believe anything outside this can happen. You need to show sickness who is in charge, you need to show poverty who is in charge, you need to show your business who is in charge because there is no power greater than yours and you must believe this!

I’m sure it still sounds surprising to you that I said there is no power greater than yours. Alright, let me prove this to you. In 1 Corinthians 12:12-31, we understand that there is unity in diversity in the body of Christ. The hand doesn’t perform the function of the leg or vice versa, the same goes for every part of the body. Every member of the body is unique and as such, they are in charge of their life, their function. Without the hand, for instance, even the head cannot function. This is why there is unity in diversity, all members following one Spirit. Apostle Paul said in verse 29, “Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all workers of miracles?”

Anything that happens in your life, it is your business because you have been given authority to take charge of your life. You don’t call on Jesus to come and help you when He has given you His power and authority. The only thing we need to understand is that we function in the same spirit of Christ, for there is only one spirit. God was in charge of the universe as Adam was in charge of the earth, but God’s authority superseded that of Adam right? But God made him responsible for everything that happened here on earth making him have the final say, but he had the same spirit of God. The same thing still applies to us today, it is just that our authority is far greater than that of Adam and that of Jesus while He was here on earth. The authority we use is the resurrection power of Jesus Christ [ref. Ephesians 1:19-21].

In exercising the authority, there are things we need to understand. Log on tomorrow as I explain this.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Log on next time.
