THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS.
Song:
1 .At the Centre of it all, it’s you that l see. It's you that l see.
There is power in your name.
Miracle happens in your name.
As we lift our voices in praises
It's you that I see, it's you that I see.
WHAT IS AUTHORITY?
As we begin this discussion, it’s important that we understand what the word “authority” actually means.
Authority is the power to influence or command others.
As children of God we have been delegated to exercise the authority and power of God Almighty.
Like the policeman that direct traffic, he does not have the authority himself, but a power delegated.
So they don’t use their own strength to direct traffic; they do their work by the authority delegated to them by the government.
Luke.9.1 - Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Jesus empowered the disciples to work miracles (Luke 9:1, 2): He gave them authority over all devils, to dispossess them, and cast them out. He authorized and appointed them likewise to cure disease, and to heal the sick. The same power and authority has been given to us by our Saviour Jesus to do likewise. Hallelujah.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord for the power and the authority you have given to me over all things. By the Authority in the name of Jesus I silence any power trying to rob me of my God's given fulfillment in the Mighty name of Jesus.
