Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
In this kingdom and in a circular world, your result cannot be greater than your level of understanding. You can only act and perform based on your level of understanding. That is why it is essential to continue learning, as opportunities may arise. The Bible says, 'My people are destroyed because of a lack of knowledge.' No one can cheat you in an area or something that you are knowledgeable about.
So, we need to know and be familiar with the authority available for us in redemption, what to use it for, and what we can do to grow in authority, that is, gaining more commands
Mark 16:15 (And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature).
The soul-winning commandment was given to all believers, but the irony of it is that only a few obey this particular commandment. The commandment of soul winning is as important as the Ten Commandments.
2 Corinthians 5:18 (And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;)
Jesus came to the world to save the world and to reconcile us to God. We are ordained to continue this assignment from where he stopped. We are his instrument of conquest; we are his battle axe, and we are the reapers. Our God is not a murderer; that is why he will not send you into the camp of the enemy without power, and that is why he told the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until they receive power (Luke 24:49). Authorities are given in levels, and what you do with what you were given will determine your qualification for the next. For every assignment, there are different kinds of authority to execute it. Jesus sent the twelve disciples and gave them power and authority over all devils (Luke 9:1-3), so if you want to have authority over all devils, you need to start winning souls for God. The reason why the devil is still molesting you as a believer is that you have not really obeyed this particular commandment of soul-winning. If you notice, in (Luke 10:1-19), when he saw how well they performed with the power and authority he gave his twelve disciples, he increased the number of his disciples to seventy and then sent them out two by two. They also came back with great results, and he gave them more authority. God is willing to increase your command of authority if you are willing to do His work.
Luke 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Having authority makes you a commander; that is, you will have access to the power of God and use it without any form of restriction. Authority is given to a faithful and trusted servant who will not misuse it. As a soul winner, our authority is the name of Jesus; the name of Jesus responds to us faster than any other person who is not obeying the commandment of soul winning.
Friends, in the next series of this great message, we will elaborate on the power and the authority and what the name of Jesus means to us, the soul winner. SO, STAY TUNED AND FOLLOW US.
Friends, you cannot obey someone whom you have not surrendered to; you have to be under authority to understand and enjoy authority, just like the centurion. So, the authority is for the sons and daughters of God; if you are not a child of God, here is an opportunity to become one and begin to dominate all devils. Hurry up and pray this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name. God bless you.

Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me to make me a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
