Your Authority as a Believer
Hello, dear reader at the Prophetic Corner,
I hope that your new week is starting well. Last week at the Prophetic Corner, the focus was on becoming a son of God; you can read about it here: https://adewaleonagbesan.substack.com/p/become-a-son-of-god. This new week, the focus is on bringing you to the realization and remembrance of what you carry as a son of God.
Jesus Christ is our model for everything in the kingdom of God; what He did, we should replicate. And the Bible mentioned that Jesus Christ taught in the synagogue with authority and this is evident in the miracles that He performed (Mk1:21-28). So, if Jesus stated that we should do greater works than He did, then we should also express greater dimensions of authority.
In Mk11:23-24, the Bible made it clear that you have the authority of unfailing utterance through declaration and prayer. You have the authority to command instantaneous manifestations (Mt21:21). You have the authority to uproot negative situations and plant positive situations (Lk17:6). But you need power and this can only be made available when you become a son of God by receiving Jesus Christ and believing in His name (John1:12).
Unbelief is a major obstacle to the operation of your authority as a believer (Mt17:20). No matter how little it is, every positive attitude of faith will contribute to your level of spiritual authority (Mt13:31-32). Those very things you count as little, matter so much in the kingdom of God (Lk13:19). Being a faithless believer is a terrible situation to be in, but when you believe, long-term situations will be turned around (Mk9:23).
However, the underlying factor in exercising this authority is your faith in God (Mk11:22), you must ask in faith (Jam1:6). You also need to come to the reality of the power of your tongue (Prov15:4) and be mindful of the things you utter with your tongue (1Pet3:10). As a believer, you must also have charity (1Cor13:1-2). And when we exercise our authority in God, we leave our world astonished (Mt7:28).
