Bible Texts: Matt.10:1, 1Cor.16:9, Eph.1:21, 3Jn.1:2, Lk.10:19, Mk.9:29, Jn.3:3-7, 2Cor.5:17, Rev.12:11, Rom.8:31, Job 22:28, Matt.18:18-20
And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease (Mk.10:1)
God has given you authority and power, and He wants you to exercise it. That is the focus for today’s teaching.
But why must I exercise the authority and power of Jesus Christ at work in me?
A great and effectual door is opened before you but there are many adversaries (1Cor.16:9)
As the husbandman who is growing to become the good and godly man, husband and father, there are many ungodly forces that want to hinder you. These include unclean spirits like adultery, lying, covetousness, uncontrolled appetite for food, sex and money, unforgiveness and so much more. These spirits are from satan, sin and the world, working to defile you and make you unfit to conduct yourself in ways that please God as the husbandman. It is for this reason that you must exercise the power of God against these ungodly forces in order to protect and remain the good and godly husbandman.
I wish above all things that ye prosper and be in health even as your soul prospereth (3Jn.:2)
You must understand that as the husbandman, God wants you to prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers, hence, you must engage the authority of Jesus Christ over any force that wants to defile your spirit, soul and body.
But for you to exercise the power and authority of God, through Jesus Christ, against unclean spirits, sicknesses, diseases and all forms of defilement, you must have a personal relationship with the One who gives power, Jesus Christ (Jn.3:3-7). This you do by repenting of your sins and asking Jesus Christ to come into your life to be your Lord and Personal saviour.
Secondly, you must be conscious of who you are in Christ. The Scriptures say that we are seated far above……..(Eph.1:21) You are seated with the Husbandman, Jesus Christ in heaven, far above principalities, powers and rulers of this world. So, once you notice that your mind is beginning to think of things that want to defile your walk with God, you immediately exercise your authority and command it to get out.
You are the man of authority and power. Take your rightful place in God through Jesus Christ and stay awake as the good and godly husbandman.
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, build my authority-consciousness as the man, husband and father.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, endue me with the Spirit of power and authority from on high.
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, empower me to exercise Your power against unclean spirits, sicknesses and diseases.
FAITH CONFESSION
I am seated with Jesus Christ far above unclean spirits, sickness and disease and I walk in this consciousness and exercise the power of God over them because that is what gives me victory to be and maintain my walk as the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
