FAITH CAPSULE:<\/b> Are you still questioning His authority?<\/p>\n
Matthew 21:1-27<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
It is true that all authority has been given to Jesus. <\/i><\/b>Jesus confirmed that all authority has been given to Him. Matthew 28:18,<\/i><\/b> After His resurrection, He appeared to His disciples and made known to them stating, \u201cAll authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.\u201d<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 Authority is power. The power that belongs to Jesus is the power over all creation; it is the power to heal and to deliver; it is the power in His Word and the authority which no man can deny.\u00a0 By the power invested in Jesus, He has the authority to cleanse all that is due for cleaning so that God may reign and rule in our life. Whatever needs to be cleansed in our temple (our life) we should take it to Him in our prayer to clean us.
\nThe Bible recorded how He went to clean the temple at a point in His ministry. Jesus overturned the tables of the money changers and He drove those that were buying and selling out. Jesus was able to clean the temple by driving out all the irrelevancies and He left. Matthew 21:23 <\/i><\/b>stated, \u201cNow when He came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was teaching, and\u00a0 said, \u2018By what authority are You doing these things? And who gave You this authority?\u2019\u201d<\/i><\/b>\u00a0 The priests and the elders realized there was authority in place which could not be denied from delivering His agenda.
\nJesus Christ is the Authority. However, questioning Authority and where He gets His authority from is an absolute lack of knowledge. Are you questioning His authority too?
\nWhile Jesus was here on earth the chief priests constantly questioned His authority.
\nThe Bible testified that, \u201cHe taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes\u201d (Matthew 7:29)
\n<\/i><\/b>In spite of the fact that His teachings were given with authority they could not recognize Jesus as the Authority. Today so many are still questioning His authority. Inside and outside of the Church, His authority is being constantly questioned.
\nAre you questioning His authority too?
\nRecognizing Jesus\u2019 authority is demonstrating uncommon faith which is the power to be healed and to be delivered. Accept Him by recognizing His authority and healing and deliverance will be your portion just like the centurion\u2019s servant. The Bible identified Jesus in Colossians 1:15-16<\/i><\/b> \u201cHe is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.\u201d <\/i><\/b>\u00a0Now we know why He is the authority. Are you still questioning His authority?<\/p>\n
Prayer for today:<\/b> Ask God for the grace that His authority will reign and rule your life all the days of your life.<\/i><\/p>\n
