Power and Authority

By Deaconess Florence Oyedeji

You are a person of power and authority because you belong to Jesus! We often hear about the power of God, and Scripture is full of examples of His power in action.

He is “the great God, mighty and awe-some” (Nehemiah 9:32). We are taught to rely on His great power to get us through trials such as a job loss, a sticky divorce, bankruptcy, hateful persecutions, a debilitating illness, or the loss of a loved one.

Learning to rely on the power of God is part of living the Christian life.

The apostle Paul gives us a glimpse of the power of God when he writes of “His incomparably great power for us who believe.

 That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority”  (Ephesians 1:19–21).  Mercy Seatizens, we must never see ourselves as powerless!

You are a person of power and authority because you belong to Jesus who has all power and all authority. Go in that power and exercise it, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen. 

You will have a great turn-around this 2020. 

Remain blessed. 

Shalom.
