JESUS HAS IT ALL
“And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earthâ€
Matthew 28: 18
Main Text:
It is high time you put the devil where he belongs because the insult he brought your way in 2017 should not be experienced again in this 2018. He is not as important as people perceive him to be. God has provided us with what we need to live victoriously in this year and it is your responsibility to passionately live out who you are in Christ.
Think on this, how many times was Satan mentioned in the Bible after Jesus came? If mention was made of him, it was about how he had been defeated Halleluiah! Hear what Paul said about him in Col. 2:15; “Having disarmed principalities and power, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it”.
“Disarmed” means that everything he had to harm has been taken away and promptly delivered unto you by the blood of Jesus. The Word of God cannot be broken. If “all authority” has been given to Jesus, then which one has the devil? Absolutely nothing! Now the device that the devil uses to appear powerful is maneuvering or call it manipulation. He has learnt to maneuver the mind of man by suggesting things that make man feel insecure thereby looking for means of escape. Apart from this, he can pollute the mind of man with dirty things that will make man feel estranged and unacceptable unto God. Therefore, you must know what God has for you according to His words.
Beloved, some of the challenges you run into may have been caused by your ignorance of His prevailing Word for you. Today, let’s lay hold on that which is true- All power and authority belongs to Jesus, so by His Spirit you shall exercise authority!
Prayer: Father, I thank You because You opened my eyes to see Your word for my situations in Jesus name.
