Then he called his twelve disciples
together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure
disease. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of god and to heal the sick).
What differentiates the civilian from
the army is the authority and power confers to them; this power comes through
sacrifice. But in the case of the kingdom’s army the sacrifice has been paid by
Jesus Christ. What we need to do is to enter into what has been done and claim
our authority. Also you are a warrior queen and King and what differentiates
you from the ordinary citizen is your crown of authority. You cannot rule or
reign without authority; that’s why we need authority and this authority is
conferred and not acquired (Psalm 110:1-3). It is our
relationship with God that determines the levels of authority he allows us to
control; the relationship between us and God grows over time by our commitment
towards the advancement of His kingdom; our commitment is measured by the level
of our fruit bearing. John 15:1(I am the true vine, and my Father is the
husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and
every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit).
Remember, as you are bearing fruit for God you are bearing fruit for yourself
in all areas of your endeavor because the same authority is what you need to
rise in your career and business (Matthew 6:33). Jesus Christ
came to save us and the power he gave to us is to save others too; maybe the
reason why you are not manifesting a high level of authority yet is because he
knows you are not ready to save souls. Let me paint the picture like this; if
you have one AK 47 gun and you are able to rescue ten ‘boko haram’ captive and
destroy their camp; God will say wow, he needs a machine gun; I think he will
end their operation with more weapons and authority. And you on your own will
be joyful and proud of yourself that you are able to rescue people that were
about to perish and the scripture said there is joy in heaven over one soul
that is saved. The same feeling goes when a drunkard, a thief, a prostitute and
so many others were saved because you choose to carry out your assignment as an
Army of God. If you saved two souls with the little authority that you have; he
will give you more authority to deal with the devil. If you have authority to
heal a headache and you ignore the sick; the power to heal cancer would not be
given to you; in fact that one you have for headache will be withdrawn from you
(Luke 19:13-25). So many things constitute the name, Army; there
is no Army without a union form and amour; without their armoring they are like
ordinary civilians and their word or appearance would have no effect on anyone.
But as soon as they put on their uniform no matter how close they are to you
whether friendship or relative you will know that level has changed. The armies
of God have the backing of heaven just like the earthly army has the backing of
the president of every nation. God is their commander in Chief. Every army in
this kingdom is expected to have their armor on all the time; no break, no
retirement; it is a continuous thing because the battle between light and
darkness has no end as long as you are here on earth. But you have been
empowered to overcome them by the blood of Jesus and the authority in the name
of Jesus. Revelation 12:11(And they overcome him by the blood of the
Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto
death). You cannot enter into a strongman’s house and set his
captives free except you yourself are stronger than him (Matthew 12:29).
That’s why God has made everything we need to preach the gospel available to
us. In this kingdom we are not warring against physical beings because for
every sinful action there is a power behind it and those powers are what we are
contending with. The scripture has analyzed all we need to be an army ready to
go to war in the enemy’s camp. Ephesians 6:10(Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of
God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we
wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole amour of God, that ye may
be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand
therefore, having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod
with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 And above all, taking the
shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of
the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in
the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for
all saints;). Wow, this is very detailed. Everything we ever need to
win the war against the enemy of our destiny has been summarized by Paul the
warrior king. The making of God’s army takes process and the first step is your
enrollment which is the new birth; you need to be born again. God does not
confers authority on a stranger, a strange cannot use the name of Jesus to cast
out devil; a stranger does not have access to the blood of Jesus; a stranger
cannot preach the Gospel of peace; a stranger is not saved thereby cannot save
others; a stranger cannot share in the inheritance of God; he has no uniform
and no armor. Friends, in case you are not part of this royal family, today God
is extending a friendly hand to you to come over and join us; please hurry up
while the offer lasts by praying this salvation prayer below.
Lord
Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me
my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan
to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I
know I am Born Again, Amen.
