Becoming Your Greatest Dream (10)

Understanding How Authority Works…

Authorities are established by God to provide leadership and enforce right and Godly behaviours among men.

Jesus was an Authority on earth and He wielded it teaching, preaching, healing and generally doing good.

So indeed, the purpose of Authority is to do man good.

How Does Authority Work?

1. God is the Source of all True Authority. He is the Highest Authority. There is no Authority without God. God is self-sufficient and self-existing. He does not report or depend on anyone.

2. Every true Authority comes from God and He delegates this Authority to man to act on His behalf on earth.

3. By Submitting to Authorities that God has established, we are submitting to God. It is therefore necessary for the authorities to be truly representing God so that Submission is easy.

4. Authorities works in jurisdictions. To be relevant, powerful and useful, learn to wield your authority within your assign territory.

(Romans 13:1-7. Daniel 4:17. Daniel 2:37-38, Matthew 8:5-10).
