THE MEASURING GUAGE, PART 1

John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. 35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given  unto me in heaven and in earth.


In this kingdom where we belong power and spiritual authority are given in levels and the measuring gauge is our love for God. A man with a genuine love for God will not have problems with emotional intelligence skills. Emotional intelligence has to do with us being able to manage our emotions and to manage other people's emotions; that is putting our actions in check and balance to see how our actions can affect another person both positively and negatively and then still achieve the purpose of God for us here on earth and then make heaven at the end of our journey.  


John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.


The race of destiny cannot be won without power and spiritual authority; you can't love foolishly and expect God to give you power without measure and that is where emotional intelligence comes in. He said in John 14:12 (Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father); If Jesus Christ gets this power without measure that means we also can get it without measure. You can have power without spiritual authority. Spiritual authority in the hand of a believer is like the nuclear button; Love is sacrifice, but how far are you willing to sacrifice for the work of God here on earth? Jesus Christ offers himself as a sacrifice and God gives him power and spiritual authority without measure. God has a standard set for us in His book and our ability to obey his commandment is what keeps us on track emotionally thereby positioning us for extra power and spiritual authority. The Bible says that the Father loves his Son and gives him authority without measure. Jesus Christ says that God has given him everything. Spiritual authority is like a nuclear button in the hand of a Nuclear Nation President; that is how serious it is; every devil will avoid you like a plague. The more we demonstrate our love for God the more we are entrusted with power and spiritual authority. You can love your kids and not give them everything they want because giving them everything at once can take them to their early graves if you are not careful. Emotion has to do with how we express our feelings; for example; Anger, joy, love, sadness, empathy, hatred, jealousy. Your ability to control your feelings and put things into perspective is called emotional maturity. We are created in the image of God and if we have emotion then God has emotion too. To please God at all times we have to be emotionally intelligent; nobody wants to be around anyone who does not care about his or her feelings. For the presence of God to abide with us we need to care about how he feels and how our actions affect him and in turn he will shower his love upon us by trusting us with so much power and high levels of spiritual authority. John 8:29 (And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I always do those things that please him). If you love God you will not like to hurt Him and the same goes for our love for our neighbor. The first and second commandment is our ticket to command the kind of power and spiritual authority that we are craving for. The only way to please God and to prove our love for Him is to obey His commandments. 

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, the Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Do you love God? Do you care to know how He feels whenever you err? Your answer will determine your qualifications.

Even if you have power in your tongue as the anointed, if God did not back your utterances it won't be able to change things. Here is what the scripture says concerning Elijah. 

James 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.


1 Kings 18:37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 38 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. If God does not trust you he will withhold spiritual authority from you. The authority given to you as the servant of God is to be used against the power of darkness and to glorify the name of the LORD here on earth and that was exactly what Elijah was doing. The scripture says that we are greater than Elijah; the question is why then are we not commanding exploits than Elijah? One man withheld rain for three years and six months and released it when he wanted; that is how serious this authority can be. imagine if he does that at any slight provocation; It will just be like a president pressing the nuclear button because another Nation's president provokes him to anger (Matthew 11:11)..

In this kingdom, perfect love that commands spiritual authority must pass the test of emotional intelligence. Friends, now that you know what to do to command the kind of authority you need to run this race to the finish line; hurry up and register your interest by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name.


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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.

NENE ISAH,
