AUTHORITY TO EXERCISE POWER

Luke 9:1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

There is a difference between “power” and “authority”. Unfortunately, in the King James Version of the Bible, the word “authority” is often translated “power”. Thus if you don’t study it in the Greek rendering you will not get the right interpretation of scriptures.

For instance, Matthew 28:18 says, And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth (KJV). The word “power” here is from the Greek word “exousia” which means “authority” or “delegated power”.

Acts 1:8 says, But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. The word “power” in this scripture is from the Greek word “dunamis” which means dynamic power or inherent power or ability.

THE NEW CREATION HAS THE NATURE OF GOD

John 1:12‭-‬13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

When we talk about the new creation, we are referring to the born again believer in Christ. We are talking about the man whose spirit has been recreated and imparted with the life and nature of God. The new creation is the man whose spirit has come alive to God and he is in oneness with Him.

I believe the revelation of the new creation is what will change the church of Jesus Christ. Without the true revelation of the new creation, we will live defeated lives, being whipped by the enemy and the forces of life. You have to make it your top priority to learn all you can about the new creation.

GOD IS NOT OUT TO PUNISH YOUR SINS

John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

One major truth of the gospel is that, God is not out to punish your sins. Our opening scripture is clear that God sent His Son not to condemn but to save men’s lives. If God had wanted to judge and punish us for our sins, He would not have sent a Saviour but a judge. But the good news is that God sent His beloved Son to die as a sacrifice for sins on the cross by a criminal and shameful death, the just for the unjust.

Unfortunately, if you listen to what some folks preach, it is as if God is out to mark every sin of yours and deal with you. Some even say that, in heaven, God will play your whole life of sin on a screen for you to see. Scripture says, your sins and lawless deeds, I will remember no more (Hebrews 8:12). How can you play something that has not been stored? God does not have drive space to store your sins. Then why the cross and the blood of Jesus?

STUDY THE BIBLE IN THE GREEK AND HEBREW LANGUAGES

2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Years ago, Pastor Chris taught on “Three Kinds of Knowledge”. Then he taught again on “Three Kinds of Wisdom''. These are amazing classic teachings of God’s word that you will do well to get them and imbibe the content. It will make an immaculate difference in your life.

Why did he teach on all these kinds of knowledge and wisdom? It is simple: the word “wisdom” for instance comes from different Greek words with different meanings and connotations. The word “knowledge” is also from different Greek words with different meanings.

WHEN GOD SPEAKS, THINGS MOVE

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Have you ever wondered how God brought the animals to Adam for him to name them? Some people assume that God is a herdsman and He led the animals to Adam like a shepherd. No sir! God is a spirit. He does not work like that.

God only works by His word. So, what God really did was to speak to the animals and they all headed to Adam and assembled themselves for the naming ceremony. That’s what really happened. Hallelujah!

God is always seated on His throne. He does not move up and down doing things. Remember God is a king. Kings don’t do any thing. Whatever they ever want accomplished, they speak and it is carried out. And that’s the way God operates.
