Authority

As ambassadors of Christ, we have been given Kingdom authority. The aim is to utilise the divine power that grants us victory in our lives, as it comes from the lineage of the word of God. As disciples and ambassadors of Christ, make decisions accordingly to ensure victory and receiving from God, since all God's promises through Christ are 'yes and Amen'. 

1 John 5:4-5, For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.5, Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 

You should already know that the battle began in our minds and thoughts. Satan will project his evil thoughts, resist him, and refuse to entertain his thoughts. Do what the word of God said and submit your entire thought life to Christ. 

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” 1 Corinthians 10:3-5

James 4:7, Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Stay focused and keep your attention on God's Word. Stay fixed on His Word by continually meditating on it.

Joshua 1:8, Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.

Hebrews 12:1-2, , Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.2, We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne.

It is important for us to discipline our minds as disciples and followers of Christ by refusing to accept words that contradict what we believe we have received. Equip yourself by immediately responding to all doubts with the Word of God. Immediately address every symptom of pain, sickness, lack, unforgivness, fear, etc. 

The Gospel of the Kingdom's good news is that through Christ's death on the cross. He defeated and destroyed Satan on our behalf in two ways. First, it will be obtaining forgiveness for past sins. He made us righteous by faith in the finished work of the cross without having to obey the law. Jesus Christ deprived Satan of his chief weapon, which he was using against us, with all the guilt. Also, Jesus instructed His disciples to watch and pray at all times so that they will not be overpowered by the enemy of our souls.

1 Thessalonians 5:17-18, pray without ceasing,18. in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Apostle Paul said to us that we “must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ”  (2 Timothy 2:3). You may wonder from where did Paul get such a courage ? This kind of courage and strength it came through the Holy Spirit. He produces what it takes to overcome very battle for the Lord Jesus Christ. 

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Let me share with you some of the keys to the militant victories walk:

1. Militant Thinking 

Focus on winning, not losing, and actively listen to God's voice.

Deuteronomy 28:1, Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.

What are the strategies for reaching and discipling nations with the Gospel of the Lord?  If you want to reach the nation first, you need to build a powerful Apostolic Center with fivefold ministries. This will assist you in winning the entire nation. Surely, the revival comes first. By earnestly seeking Him, He will show us the strategies and operations of the Kingdom of God.

 Will you be a man like Joshua, David, Gideon, and Daniel who God can use to defeat the strong man over the nation through your prayer? 

2. Militant Prayer 

There were men and women both in Biblical and world history who knew how to pray militantly and aggressively. Through prayer, they change situations, shift the kingdoms, and change the hearts of the people. Prayer is like an untapped superpower with the resources of heaven for ultimate victory. The first century church was the Power House of Prayer, and the early believers were constantly praying before the throne of God to obtain mercy in the time of need. Dynamic energy is released through such prayers and help achieve breakthroughs. 

“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness” Acts 4:31

3. Militant Speech

The militant's voice is filled with authority and a song of victory. 

Psalms 33:3-4, Sing to Him a new song;, Play skillfully with a shout of joy.4, For the word of the LORD is right, And all His work is done in truth.

Communication through our spirits is necessary since we are born again through the "water and the spirit" Let the word acknowledge that you are one of the mighty warriors of the kingdom of God. Be strong and a God pleader, and speck with power in the name of Jesus Christ. If you don't speak with authority and power, your words will fall to the ground and die. Jesus spoke with the authors to the Roman soldiers and they fell to the ground. Always speak the truth with divine authority. 

4. Militant Giving

The act of giving militantly is a way to be blessed and receive military assistance. Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'. And it is not about how much money or gifts we are giving to God, but how much of His money we are keeping for ourselves. 

2 Corinthians 9:5-6,, Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, which you had previously promised, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation.

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 

In Matthew 6:1-4, The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us a lesson about giving and receiving our rewards. Jesus is teaching us through the Holy Spirit through His Word in a way that is pleasing to God. Many times we deceive ourselves by acting under an assumed character like those stage actors and wanting honor for ourselves. Such is the way of hypocrisy when seeking rewards from humans. In this passage, we can learn the principle of secret giving and it is so secret that the left-hand doesn't know what the right is doing. In my nearly two decades of walking by faith and gave seen the truth at work. Have seen people giving freely and yet gain more, I have seen stingy people that day withhold and lose what they have. Salmon said in  Proverbs 11:24, There is one who scatters, yet increases more, and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. Please take careful notes of the work "withholds more". So it is not how much we give but how much we have left because this determines how much trust and faith we have in God. With all the desire to get on with their finances, many people are not able to obey God because they only live for themselves. It is the attitudes that Ste contrary to the will of God, who loves cheerful givers. Other faithful believers who gave ten percent at first, have increased in giving because they desire to be " rich in giving toward God and His kingdom"and not to withhold or to sore up things for themselves. The key is desire and the right motives and God's reward will come upon the person and the blessing will overtake him/her. There are so many other passages that Jesus Christ uses concerning giving and receiving in Luke 6:38 He said "Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” And concerning giving to the poor is as a landing to the Lord, " He who pities the poor lends to the LORD, and He will pay back what he has given" Proverbs 19:17.

Revelation 2:26, To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end,To them I will give authority over all the nations.27, They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay pots.28, They will have the same authority I received from my Father, and I will also give them the morning star!
