Authority, the word alone can cause many to think that only a selected few have been given that gift. Today, let us claim the gift of authority over our lives. When authority is used in Godly ways it can transform nations, pierce the hearts of the wicked. When used in humility, it humbles the proud, seals the lips of the angry. When used in gentleness it brings healing to the sick, comfort to the heartbroken, and direction to the lost. This gift of authority—a measure, a portion has been given to us even before we were created. Today, receive this gift, and let us use it for His glory.
The sad reality is that, people are driven for authority for the wrong reasons. People think that with power and authority, their name will be known throughout the world and over ages. Spiritual pride is one thing that the enemy uses to destroy us from really making a difference in this fallen world. Let us all be aware, what happens when authority is used for selfish gain, the gift of leadership is abused, simply put we are taking God for granted.
Today let us not take for granted the blessings, the gifts, and the life that God has given each of us. God is calling each of us, to step up, to not hide, and to now shiver at the sight of our enemies, for a time is coming when we will be placed for such a time as this!
Proverbs 8:13 says, " To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech."
Proverbs 16:18 God reveals what happens to those walking in pride, "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
