📖 “For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.” -Mark 13:34 (KJV)
One of the keys to success in any job or career field is to have the proper knowledge base for the specific job. In many places of employment, companies use what is called, “desktop procedures,” which is an instruction manual containing detailed information that describes the nuts and bolts of the job and will assist the employee in performing their daily tasks. The Bible is the believers’ desktop manual. It will equip you to know how to exercise your authority for success in life.
God’s authority is more than a historical authority; it is a contemporary, right now authority that belongs to you when you accept Christ--effective immediately! You can exercise your authority right NOW--during a recession, negative medical report, and challenging and uncertain times. You can BOLDLY decree what God has said about your situation. You are actively exercising your authority when you know God’s Word, then apply it by speaking to every “life situation” that arises against you.
The popular phrase used in recent years, “What would Jesus do?” is just like a file that can be used daily from God’s desktop manual—the Bible. Be just like Jesus. He would never allow any circumstance, situation or condition to dominate, harass or intimidate Him--and neither should you!
