Jesus Authority Has Been Given Us

Matthew 28:18–19
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore…

When God created man, He gave man authority to have dominion over everything on earth. (Genesis 1:26) But when man sinned, he gave this authority to Satan. And when man’s authority was transferred to Satan, Satan brought in diseases, poverty, strife, bitterness, pain, loss and death. He messed up everything on earth for man.

“Pastor Prince, why didn’t God just grab the devil by the neck and throw him out of the garden?”

God did not do that because He is a judicial God. It was a man who gave away his authority to Satan. So it had to be a man who would legally take it back. And God has done this through a Man. His name is Jesus!

By His death on the cross, Jesus righteously restored all that man had lost. That is why, just before He went back to heaven, He said, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore…” Those words tell us that He has transferred His authority to us. The same authority that He had over the storm, evil spirits, sicknesses, diseases and even death is now ours to use.

So when there are reports of a flu epidemic and of young children falling sick in the media, know that you have dominion over the epidemic. Declare, “By the authority given to me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, this flu virus will not come near my children. I plead the blood of Jesus over them.”

If you have been told that your family has a history of heart disease, take dominion and declare, “By the authority given to me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I destroy every form, manifestation and hereditary cause of this disease. By His blood, my family has been redeemed from this and every other curse.”

My friend, the authority which has been restored to us is not just the authority on earth which man had before the fall, but Jesus’ unquestionable and complete authority in heaven and on earth!

God Knows You Intimately

Matthew 10:30
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

As much as I love my wife and daughter, I have never bothered to count the number of hairs on their heads. I don’t have the time to do so and I doubt I will ever want to.

Every day, your hair drops. Yet, God knows how many hairs are left on your head. And He also knows how many are growing back! He knows because He bothers to count them again. When it comes to you, He always has time for every little thing about you.

So when Jesus said, “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered,” He was not exaggerating. He never exaggerates. He means what He says and He says what He means. So for the Lord to say that the very hairs of your head are all numbered means that He wants you to know that He is very interested in you and has intimate knowledge about you — your body, family, finances, relationships… everything in your life!

He knows the pain you have been having in your body. He is aware of the financial worry which you have been keeping from your family. He sees how your nasty boss is treating you. He understands the hurts you have been keeping in your heart. He hears your heart’s cry for a miracle baby.

Your heavenly Father wants you to know that as long as something concerns you, He does not overlook it, even if it is about your pet, as a church member found out. She panicked when she first discovered that her pet terrapin had gone blind. Then, remembering my messages on confessing healing for our bodies, she did the same for her pet! Three months later, the terrapin’s eyes were wide open and able to see!

God knows you intimately. He knows every small problem you are worried about and every single burden you have. And when you approach Him for help, He has all the time for you as if no one else exists. That is how valuable you are to Him and how absorbed He is in you!

BIBLE VS CELL PHONE

Nzuriiii nimeipenda tujaribu tuone mshindi nitampa zawadi.

VS

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
 What if we flipped through it several time a day?
 What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
 What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
 What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
 What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
 What if we used it when we traveled?
 What if we used it in case of emergency?
 This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.
Unlike our cell  phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being
Disconnected because Jesus already paid the  bill.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!
When Jesus died for us, he was thinking of you!
 
Namshukuru sana aliyenitumia hii Mungu ambariki kwani kama tungefanya kama hapo inavyoshauri kusema kweli tungekuwa watu wa tofauti kabisa. (Biblia inasema Kiumbe cha tofauti) Hebu mimi na wewe tujaribu kufanya hivyo kuanzia leo kwa siku mbili tu tuone inakuwaje. Hii sasa hata wakisema tuma kwa watu mia moja tuma itamsaidia mtu huwezi kujua ya Mungu mengi kwani kuna watu simu ndio Mungu wao, chakula, maji, uhai na hata pumzi bila simu hawasongi, tuwasaidie jamani kwani ni kifungo na ndicho shetani alichoshikilia watu kwa sasa.

Kusema kweli nimeipenda barikiwa sana Kaka na Mungu azidi kukutangulia katika maisha yako yote.

Kwa ambaye anaweza kutranslate kwa Kiswahili jamani anisaidie ili na wengine wapate kufaidika.
