You Need To Understand Your Source Of Authority (Part 2)

Hello everyone,

Today is just a continuation of yesterday’s topic.

In the scriptures, you find out who you really are, it is these things you meditate upon, believe and confess. Once the devil finds out that you know who you really are, he may tempt you, but it is then you declare the word of God to counter him.

Jesus has won the battle, the only battle you need to fight is the battle you need to fight is the fight of faith [ref. 1 Timothy 6:12]. Take sickness, for instance, once you understand and believe that Jesus has overcome sickness, you have faith, so as you face sickness, you kick sickness away using the word of God which you put your faith on, and sickness flees because sickness has seen one who is greater than itself. The same applies to financial troubles, once you understand what Jesus has done for you and you believe it, you face the spirit of financial troubles and kick it away using the word of God and it flees. This is how you take charge of your life using the authority Jesus has given you.

Now, do not be deceived by the physical outcome of some things not happening instantly. When Jesus cursed the fig tree, it died instantly, but the Gospel of Mark made us understand that it wasn’t till the next day till they saw the effect of the words. Also, God told Adam that of the day he ate of the fruit, he would die. Do you know that Adam died immediately? But the effect didn’t show till 930 years later, this is why people grow old, it is like leaves that wither away. Adam was detached from life the moment he ate of the fruit.

The Bible says, God word does not go and come back to Him void but must accomplish what He please [ref. Isaiah 55:11], so also man, most especially the born again person because the born again person’s word supersedes a regular person’s word. The born again person is using the authority of Jesus, so once you declare a thing by faith, IT IS DONE! There are no two ways about that, the only thing is that it would come at the right time that it is needed. The only way it won’t come to pass is that at all is because it was declared with doubt or you later doubted what was declared earlier. Things just happen as you declare, either through faith or fear because fear is another form of faith. By fear, a person doesn’t believe a thing and it comes to pass NOT. Fear is the reversal form of faith.

We must understand that Jesus has done everything for us, which is why the Bible says in Hebrews 4:11 that we should labour to enter God’s rest. Rest here indicates blessing, favour, break-through and so on. All that which we would ever need in our lives has been provided for us. The question here is how to tap into it, and it is for you to know that God has given you that thing, believe it and confess it and behold, it is done!

Know whose authority you are making use of and that would help you understand how to use the authority better.

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!
