YOUR POWER
Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread over serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and NOTHING shall hurt you...
Today I was in traffic with my family when I noticed and learnt something important as well. Well, it's a common thing but I have never really looked at it this way. There was this one police man who was controlling two different roads along the Uhuru Highway round about. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you would speed past him and the other who is on your opposite side...assuming you escape causing any accident? That's beside the point just one of my random thoughts but here is what came to me. We all stop(1000+ Vehicles) by the mere action of the policeman raising his hand. If a random person, without uniform, would stand and do the same...Almost nobody would stop. However we all stop because we respect the policeman in his uniform because of he didn't have the attire we wouldn't be able o identify him as a member of the armed forces. Now look, the policeman doesn't have the power to stop all the vehicles but he has been vested with that power because of his identity as a policeman with his uniform to identify him. So you will stop and respect the authority that has given that guy power in this case, the government.
This is the same with us Christians. Jesus tells us that we have the AUTHORITY to tread upon all serpents. In this case, serpents stop by the sight of us not because the power is from us but rather because of the power within us. The power of He who is within us who is greater than the world and any trouble we face(1 John 4:4). Ofcourse serpents here is not the literal thing..but rather all the problems we face, every weapon lodged against you by the devil, every tribulation..every sad thought, sickness and we can go on and on but here is the point YOU HAVE THE POWER WITHIN YOU. Command these things to come to a halt! Its about time we stop battling some things in our life.
God bless!
