Have
you seen this scripture before? “All power and authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me . THEREFORE go and make disciples of all nations (Matt 28
18-19a).” Do u know what it means??
Just
before Jesus died, he said IT IS FINISHED!! “I tell you the truth,
unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single
seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” Jn 12:24. That is to say Jesus
died to bring forth many of his kind – other Jesus’ (that is those who believe
in him) Now
he has finished with his work, and so ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON
EARTH IS HIS, but then we should go on HIS account of the authority he has, and
fulfill his purpose and finish it just as he did. So you and I are actually the
epitome of the power of Jesus. IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE GREATNESS OF THE POWER OF
JESUS, LOOK WITHIN YOU. BUT HOW MUCH WE
ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE DEPENDS ON THAT POWER WHICH IS AT WORK IN US (Eph 3:20)
Look at yourself and within you and find out what you can do. How often do you
pray, what are the stuff you listen to- don’t forget your faith comes by what
you hear, how deep is your fellowship with the Holy Spirit? When God speaks to
you, do you listen? Jesus in is days consulted God very early at dawn before
day breaks. As “Jesus’es” of this age, how often do we have a quiet moment of
intimacy with the Father. Maybe you can take a good time to study Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John then you can know who Jesus is and how he behaves.
Now,
Jesus finished everything he is supposed to do for us today and tomorrow. How
much of it we enjoy is our responsibility. So when Jesus resurrected, he didn’t
have to do anymore miracles or preach to anyone, because he finished it before
he died, and it was left for us to do what he did, and even more. Actually, he
is enjoying his reward: Phil
2: 5- 9
Now
look at this: In the kingdom of God, God is the King of kings, so who are the
kings over whom God is king? You and I! 1
Pet 2:9. That is why we will be judged about what we did with our lives and
the authority Jesus gave us. Rev 22:12. We will be accountable to
our King. As God is, so are we, God is King, so are we. And He is the King of
all of us who are kings. So whatsoever becomes of you here on earth is your
responsibility.
YOU
ARE BLESSED!!!
