THE GIFT OF AUTHORITY
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you commit a life to Jesus Christ
You will begin to see things through his eyes
God will grant you authority as He gave Jesus
He blesses the faithful; to him they are precious.
They will have authority in Jesus’ name
The Lord will protect and provide for his children
Use your authority to overcome the enemy
He will grant if you ask and you’ll have victory.

So many believers are living lives of defeat instead of victory because most of them do not know the gift of authority given to them as soon as they commit to Jesus Christ. I used to be one of these ignorant Christians. I allowed the devil to toss and turn me around. I had the authority but since I didn’t know it, I never used it. I praise God that he has revealed to me that I do have dominion over the enemy. Luke 10:19 says “Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you.”. What a promise for all those who love him. When I got this revelation, I began to use and exercise my authority in Jesus’ name.

PRAYER
Thank you Lord for the authority you gave me as you gave Jesus.
REFLECTION
How can we exercise dominion over the enemy in this modern age?
