Exercising our Authority in Christ

One man whose ministry has significantly helped my growth is that of the late Rev Kenneth Erwin Hagin. Listening to his messages as well as reading his many literature obviously shaped my thoughts and perspectives about the faith. I have learnt through his ministry and countless other study of God's word that indeed the believer has been given the authority in Christ Jesus.

Authority over sicknesses and pains, authority over the devil, dominion over the earth, authority to use the name of Jesus, authority over death, authority over any and everything that's of this world. We have been transfered to a pedestal in this life where we reign in the heavenly places.

By virtue of Christ's death on calvary, he purchased for us this authority and infused the power of God in our spirits that we have the ability to do greater works on this earth. We thus ought to exercise our authority in christ and lead triumphant lives continually for "Greater is he that is in us, than he that is in the world".

It was certainly interesting for me to read this blog. Thanx for it. I like such topics and anything that is connected to them. I would like to read more on that blog soon.

Thanks Hilary for the kind comments. Our authority in Christ is God's ability inside us to do the greater works he commissioned us to do. I will continue to write indeed. Thanks for reading.
