TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR YOUR WORLD
“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”
Romans 8:19-21
Main Text: Matthew 13:30-44
As a result of disobedience, death, failure, decay and every negative thing came into the world. People began to age, fall sick and die. It became possible for things to decay and be corrupted. This was until Jesus came and saved the whole world; not just the world of men, but the mountains, seas, and animals, etc. The Bible says He bought the whole field (Matthew 13:44) and the field is the world
Jesus has given us the responsibility of preaching the Gospel to every creature: “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). Notice He didn’t say “to all human beings,” but “to every creature.” This means God has given you the responsibility to take charge of the earth by speaking words of blessings to it. Remember, God said to Abraham, “…and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 26:4). You’re the seed of Abraham, therefore you’re blessed and you carry a blessing. Where you go, God goes, and what you bless is blessed
Beloved, you have arrived on the scene to distribute the blessing and you do it through your words to the world. By speaking words of blessings to the world, you protect and preserve it from damage and corruption.
Confession:
I’m a seed of Abraham; therefore, through me and my words, the world is blessed. I’m the salt of the earth, and by my words I preserve my world, the earth and protect it from bondage and corruption.
Further reading:
Matthew 5:13-16:
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out,, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
