TEXT : JEREMIAH 1:9-10
THE AUTHORITY OF A CHILD OF GOD.
Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant."
God gave to the believer both power and authority.
We seem more engrossed with power.
Power is the ability to do something while authority is the power or right to give orders, make decisions and enforce obedience.
Power is sweet, this includes the wielding of demonic powers but the power of God is the sweetest.
There is however one thing that is sweeter than power, it is authority.
When God gives you authority, you become a "small god" (psalm 82:6).
God sent Moses to go and deliver the children of Israel from Egypt. By that mandate, Moses became a god unto Egypt and Pharaoh.
God raised Jeremiah as an agent of change and he received a mouth that can root out , destroy, pool down and to build and to plant.
Such is the dimension of power that God can give to His children.
Beloved, do you realize that this power is lying dormant inside of you.
You can't be carrying high tension electric power yet living in darkness, God forbid.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
