Daily Devotion: Reflection on Spiritual Authority

Friday: Reflection on Spiritual Authority
Scripture: Philippians 2:9-11

This passage proclaims Jesus' authority over all, emphasizing that every knee shall bow to Him.

Application:
1. In prayer, commit to yielding your life daily to Jesus’ lordship.
2. Meditate on the authority of Jesus and write down how it impacts your daily decisions and interactions.

Something To Point To

You know & others know if what you have Is real.

Jesus chose Lazarus to be His EVIDENCE. When the haters came (and they always do), He didn't have to rely on Lazarus' preaching, singing or instagram reels. All he had to do was POINT to Lazarus & all Lazarus had to do was just sit there & BREATHE.

Lazarus was the EVIDENCE of Jesus' power.

What can people point to in your life that proves there is a reality to everything you claim to be real in your life?

Perhaps your faithfulness or fruitfulness? The evidence will be the things that are WORKING in your life.

I believe that I should be my own BEST CUSTOMER!

• You must practice what you preach.
• It must work in your life first.
• You can't ask others to do what you're not willing to do yourself.
I PREACH SALVATION by grace through faith in Jesus because I know it to be true.
I TEACH LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES because they are working for me.
I TEACH TITHES/STEWARDSHIP because it is working for me.
I TEACH FATHER/SON APOSTOLIC COVERING because it is working for me.

If people can get a hold of it & work it and stay with it...IT WILL produce the kind of results that they want!

It is vital to have a spiritual covering! On this side of the resurrection, everything God will do THROUGH you will be EMPOWERED through ALIGNMENT.

Do you have something to point to? Until you have your own evidence, you will need evidence of those who are birthing you into your double portion.

Success & Struggle

Success made me liked by people.

Struggle made me compassionate towards people.

Success gave me a voice.

Struggle gave my voice a heart.

Today, I'm thankful for Success & Struggle...it is always teaching me.

One key to personal growth, I've discovered, is having spiritual fathers in my life who have taught me how to handle both. The wisdom of Proverbs 15:22 rings in my ear ... "Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success."

I've learned, in my life short walk with God, that spiritual advice is needed far more than natural advice. Natural advice from people (i.e., business, education, science, industry, etc.) have been extremely helpful to me...but there is nothing like spiritual direction from my spiritual covering (i.e., pastor, apostle, etc.,)...it's a game changer & an affirmer.

It took many years for me to understand this. Now that I know it...it's a non-negotiable in my life & a cherished foundation for everything I aspire.

I speak "ordered" success into your life this week!

Understanding Spiritual Authority

The Art Of Being Blessable

Sadly, by the time I'm asked to provide a voice into some people's lives, they've already made up their mind. I'm merely brought in to stamp a "blessing" on their decision. #outoforder

Anytime I've had major decisions to make, I've presented it to my spiritual covering and gave them the latitude to perceive, process & pray, no matter how long it took. I remain prayerful & keep my ear tuned to what they have to say. Sometimes it's "wait". Sometimes it's "no". Sometimes it's "proceed".

1. I have already given them permission to speak into my life, long before I sought direction. I can't reject their voice when I don't "like" or "agree" with what they say.

2. I'm submitted to spiritual authority because it's biblical & on this side of the cross, God has established delegated authority.

3. Even when God speaks something to me, He confirms that word through those I've submitted myself to. Yes, God speaks to me, but He uses my leader to lead me..."if" I can be led.

This is a process, just like anything else in life. It takes prayerful consideration, time & preparation. You can't rush it & you can't demand it. If it really is from "God" it will be a natural step with a supernatural unanimity.

If you desire a BLESSING, posture yourself to be BLESSABLE.

I can't BLESS a MESS.
