29 O EARTH, EARTH, EARTH! LISTEN TO THIS MESSAGE FROM THE LORD!
30 This is what the Lord says: ‘LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT THIS MAN JEHOIACHIN WAS CHILDLESS. He is a failure, for none of his children will succeed him on the throne of David to rule over Judah.’"
Jeremiah 22:29–30 (NLT)
• If you are walking in disobedience or rebellion to God, and His delegated authorities; other creatures of God would also be rebelling against you.
- The fact that you find it difficult to submit to God's delegated authorities over your life, you might not be able to submit to God's direct Authority as well.
- Some in the world said they believe in God and want to serve Him, but would not want to go through Christ Jesus.
IF you rejected Jesus, you would not want to Acknowledge Him, you automatically have rejected God also: "FOR A PERSON WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN CHRIST, GOD'S SON, CAN'T HAVE GOD THE FATHER EITHER. BUT HE [she] WHO HAS CHRIST, GOD'S SON, HAS GOD THE FATHER ALSO"
(1 John 2:23 the Living Bible).
"ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT JESUS IS NOT GOD'S SON DOES NOT BELONG TO THE FATHER. BUT ANYONE WHO ACCEPTS JESUS AS THE SON OF GOD ALSO BELONGS TO THE FATHER."
1 John 2:23 (EasyEnglish Bible)
- Those tenant farmers who rejected the servants and the son of the owner of the vineyard, who wanted and waited to see the Owner, were later destroyed (Matthew 21:33-40; Luke 20:9-16).
- If you rejected God's delegated authorities sent to you, or over your life (Hebrews 13:17); you have rejected God Himself!
YOUR own authority would also be withdrawn and your words would be made ineffective—If you did that. - You can only exercise Authority when your Obedience is perfect or complete:
"BEING READY TO PUNISH EVERY DISOBEDIENCE, WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS COMPLETE" (2 Corinthians 10:6 (ESV). - Your Obedience to God and His delegated authorities gives God the power to work on your behalf. Your words are honoured and carried out by Angels, and demons bow to your words or commands (Hebrews 1:14).
- Mostly, If the people under your sphere of influence or authority are rebelling against you (1 Kings 11:26); It is either you are not obedient to God's direct Authority, or that of His delegates over your life, under whom you are.
- A wife who is not submissive to her husband would always meet people outside her home who would be rude to her; in fact, some of her subordinates at work might be unsubmissive to her (Ephesians 5:22; 1 Peter 3:1).
THOSE who supposed to honour her might not accord her the honour due her.
IF she is a minister's or pastor's wife, some women in the church, among the congregation, would also be rebellious to her. It is a spiritual law and principle, when you violated it, you would reap the harvest of what you sow in folds or multiples (Galatians 6:7).
• If you live in Sin, disobedience to God and His Word, and revere not the authorities over your life; you are indirectly undoing yourself, undermining your ability to exercise Authority, and you are not undoing God.
- When you live in a blatant Sin and rebellion to God and His Word, your status or position in the realm of the spirit is degraded or rubbished or made worthless.
a. You amounted to nothing and your words are weightless. Your Authority is made void and withdrawn.
b. Your rod budded not again (Numbers 17:5,8).
c. And your revelation is blocked, that is, your communication with God is severed, broken or interrupted; when you contravened this principle. Miriam and Aaron who did it were reprimanded or reproved by God:
6 AND THE LORD SAID TO THEM [Miriam and Aaron], “NOW LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY: “If there were prophets among you, I, the Lord, would reveal myself in visions. I would speak to them in dreams. 7 But not with my servant Moses. Of all my house, HE IS THE ONE I TRUST. 8 I SPEAK TO HIM FACE TO FACE, CLEARLY, AND NOT IN RIDDLES! HE SEES THE LORD AS HE IS. SO WHY WERE YOU NOT AFRAID TO CRITICIZE MY SERVANT MOSES?” 9 THE LORD WAS VERY ANGRY WITH THEM, AND HE DEPARTED" (Numbers 12:6-9 NLT).
• You can speak to land, living and nonliving things, animate and inanimate objects, and they would hear; because they have ears to hear.
- To recapitulate or summarize, do these:
a. Pray more, especially in the language of the Holy Spirit—for your words to be effective, weighty, and productive.
b. Live a righteous life, that is, walk in the light of the Word of God—live a Holy life (James 1:22-25; 1 Peter 1:15-17).
c. Be submissive to God and His delegated authorities (Hebrews 13:7,17); And be Obedient to the spiritual principle of Giving (Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 9:6,7). - When you put together in practice the above mentioned principles, coupled with submissiveness to the leadings of the Holy Spirit; you definitely would have your words honoured and carried out by Angels, And demons bowed down and obeyed your commands.
- There is power in your words If you live right. You can speak to the earth, land, houses, trees, communities, Nations, or what have you:
22 THEN Jesus said to the disciples, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 I tell you the truth, YOU CAN SAY TO THIS MOUNTAIN, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ AND IT WILL HAPPEN. BUT YOU MUST REALLY BELIEVE IT WILL HAPPEN AND HAVE NO DOUBT IN YOUR HEART. 24 I TELL YOU, YOU CAN PRAY FOR ANYTHING, AND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED IT, IT WILL BE YOURS" (Mark 11:22-24 NLT).
• You will not lose your Authority in Jesus' name.
- Should there be any ailment in your body, I declare your healing now in Jesus' name.
- By the authority conferred on me, I declare an end to that sickness and oppression in your life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
Peace!
STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. Ask that He will write your name in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).
- If you took the steps As highlighted above, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
