Daily bread

*NGAT DAILY BREAD*

*DATE:* *TUESDAY 11TH OCTOBER 2016*
*THEME:* *POWER AND AUTHORITY OF BELIEVERS*
*TEXT:* *LUKE 10:19, LUKE 9:1*

*"Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."*

*"Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases."*

It's time to arise as believers and put into use what has been delivered into your hands by Jesus. Jesus has given us power and authority to exercise our dominion birthright over this territory called EARTH.

The scriptures says in Gen 1:16, *Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.* The Greater Light in that scriptures talks about Jesus, who has conquered the devil through His blood, Crucifixion and resurrection. While the lesser light talks about we believers, to rule over the night, that is, all activities of the devil.

Now note this: Jesus has no enemy anymore. He has conquered His enemy once and for all, and He's seated at the Right hand of God making intercession for we the saints. We believer are the ones with enemies, and these enemies are not the witches in your family or in your community.

That teethless old women in your family is not the enemy, but the devil and the falling angels. You will be fighting the wrong person by praying for that old woman to die by fire. Haba! Jesus died for that old woman also. Only deal with the unclean spirit in her, and then let the woman live.

Bro/sis Elijah, Jesus did not come to destroy lives, but to save the losts. Please and please, have mercy; for blessed are the merciful, they shall obtain mercy. I know you're flame of fire (Ina loju, ina lenu, akata yeriyeri), you can kill and devour. But please for Jesus' sake, only deal with Baal and allow its prophets to experience salvation. For in the day of God's power, people shall be willing. OK?

*Now, as believers, who are we even fighting against?*

You must know who your enemies are before you can exercise the power and authority given to you correctly. Here's the scripture that answered that question for us:

*Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood (human being), but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.*

Those are the enemies of believers; and we only need to exercise (give instruction) the Power and Authority given to us by Jesus to run them out of our territory (earth) to hell where they belonged.

1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because *your adversary the devil* walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Now, what does POWER and AUTHORITY means?

Power = the ability or right to control people or things.

Authority = the POWER to give orders or make decision. The power or right to direct or control someone or something.

These two will never work effectively through you when you have not laid YOUR ALL at the Master's feet.

Release your all to Jesus, then you will legislate on His behalf here on earth. Having the Power to do is not enough, you must be licensed to use the power, or else you may be jailed.

The license is = laying your ALL for Jesus, and then when you appear before the enemies, all they will be seeing is Jesus IN You, and they can do nothing but begged and run out with fear from their hidden places.

Note this: You must be loaded with the revelation of who Jesus is for you to command some stubborn demons.

My dear young brother, hope there are stuffs underneath that coat/suit you put on that can deal with these enemies?

My dear young sister, hope there are stuffs underneath that garment, outward adorning and facial powder that can deal with these enemies?

- Exploitation of kingdom mysteries precedes explosion to the world.
- If you're not loaded, you're not needed.

FFT: The devils in Nigeria and on the earth at large are asking, 'Jesus we know, Paul we know, A.I.J Obasemo we know; but who are you????'
