How to be connected with the divine authority
Bible Reading: Mark 11:27-33
“27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the
temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and
who gave thee this authority to do these things?
29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one
question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these
things.
30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From
heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men
counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus
answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these
things.”
We are in a world where people are connected with one authority or the
other. Generally, to be a successful person in this world or accomplish your
purpose of existence, there is a connection with the divine authority for such
to come to manifestation. Anyone who refuses to be governed by the divine
authority that created him/her is illegal and nonfunctional in the world. Such
people end their life in disgrace and ruin.
When King Saul refused to be governed by the divine authority that
established his kingship, the same authority dethroned him and uprooted his
kingdom.
In 1 Samuel 15:10-11, “Then
came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, it repenteth me that I have set
up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not
performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel, and he cried unto the LORD
all night.”
Saul actions in the above verses resulted in what happened to him in 1
Samuel 15:22-28 as stated below:
“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings
and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better
than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as
iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath
also rejected thee from being king… And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not
return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD
hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt
of his mantle, and it rent. And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the
kingdom of Israel from thee this day and hath given it to a neighbour of thine,
that is better than thou.”
Many people in society are
violating the authority of others, and the God that created them, and they are
reaping destruction as well. Some are crossing the boundaries of others or
realms of authority, and they are living in a mess and be in bondage. A child
that refuses to obey his or her parents’ authority in living a godly and holy
life will definitely suffer the consequences. Numerous nations are under
calamity and war because they have rejected the authority of God that governed
them. Couples that do not acknowledge the authority of God that instituted
marriage will experience unbearable conditions and may end in separation which
is against the purpose of God.
The key to the effectiveness,
success, productivity, greatness, and perfect life for every Christian is the
connection with the divine authority that governs everything anywhere at every
time. Your submission to the authority of Jesus Christ is the number one and
permanent key that opens the door of your fulfilling life.
In the commencement of Jesus
Christ ministry on earth, the authority that will govern His affairs on earth
announced Him and declared:
“And lo a voice from heaven,
saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17
“While he yet spake, behold, a
bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which
said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.” Matthew
17:5
In John 8:29, Jesus Christ
affirmed that His connection with divine authority is the secret of His
success.
“And he that sent me is with me:
the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please
him.”
And Apostle Paul said, “I
can do all things through Christ which strengthen me.” Philippians 4:13.
Your ability to function
perfectly is attached to your connection with divine authority. Moreover, your
honour and glory is hidden under the power of authority that govern your life.
2 Peter 1:17
Beloved, on whom authority you
are living? If you are living according to man’s authority it may lead to a
dangerous end.
“For I am a man under authority,
having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to
another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.”
Matthew 8:9
Remember, there is no way you can
live without being under man or woman authority, but the major authority you
should be connected to all the time is the divine authority of God that created
you in His image and likeness.
The authority of man or woman
that governs your affairs in your workplace, market, house, and community where
you lives can be evil or demonic. And such authority can cage you or
endangering your glory and future. But when you allow the authority of the
living God to oversee everything for you, then the earthly authority will be
meaningless and useless in terms of attacking you.
When your life is governing by
the authority of Jesus Christ, then your life will produce outstanding results
that will make people to question you as they did to Jesus Christ.
“And when He has come into the
temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto Him as He was
teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave
thee this authority?” Matthew 21:23
Dear Reader, by what authority do
you lives? Who authorizes you to be doing what you are doing? Is it Christ
Jesus or antichrist? That ministry you are operating, by which authority?
Remember, nobody is isolated when it comes to the matter of authority. Is
either you’re under Jesus' authority or under the devil’s authority. Is either
you are led by the Spirit of God or you are led by the evil spirits. And only
those that are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:14
