Living under the authority of God

Jer 5:12: "They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:"

In the passage above, the nations of Israel and Judah falsely claimed that God would not punish them for their sins. They boasted that nothing bad would happen to them and that they would not suffer from war or hunger. However, they were mistaken because everyone is ultimately under God's authority, whether they acknowledge it or not. God has created each of us for His purposes, expecting us to submit to His authority for our benefit. No one can truly succeed or prosper in life without placing themselves under God's authority, whether directly or indirectly through spiritual leaders appointed by God. God, as the ultimate authority, determines our destinies.

God holds the keys to all our aspirations, and without Him, we cannot achieve anything of lasting significance in the world. God is all-powerful and has authority over every sphere of influence. God is in control of everyone and everything, including all situations. He has authority over all problems, challenges, sicknesses, and diseases, and there is nothing that God cannot resolve. Furthermore, God has empowered us with His abilities so that we can carry out supernatural feats through our faith in Him, without the need for Him to manifest physically.

God has bestowed each of us with a unique gift, skill, talent, grace, or anointing to wield authority in a specific area of influence. However, we must individually seek God to discover the area where He has endowed us with gifts. Through utilizing our gifts or skills to benefit others, we can progress from being good to becoming excellent in our area of influence. Each of us possesses the power, grace, or anointing from God to become an authority by utilizing and dispensing them to bless others. However, our ability to wield authority in our area of influence is contingent on our commitment to daily self-development. Without consistent personal growth, we risk becoming unappealing to others in the area where God has graced us.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
