The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. John 12:48
God is the original source of all authority, and He does not delegate it to irresponsible people. Since the grace to lead comes from God, He tests our faithfulness on the road to leadership, adding some leaders and removing others. In the parable of the ten talents, Jesus said, “… because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities” (Lk. 19:17). This means that greater faithfulness corresponds to greater authority. God delegates authority to us so we can exercise His supernatural power legally on earth and destroy the works of the devil, and He increases it according to our faithfulness. When someone refuses to submit to His authority, there is usually a curse operating in his life. This curse is broken when the individual repents for resisting authority, and accepts his responsibility. If the Holy Spirit is exposing areas of rebellion in your life today, and bringing you conviction, don’t let the opportunity slip you by.

Repent and renounce the rebellion! Perhaps this is causing you sickness, poverty, fear, scarcity or family problems. When you repent it will activate the power of God that overcomes all hardships, and you will be set free in the name of Jesus!
Let us pray
Dear Lord Jesus, in this day, I repent and renounce the spirit of rebellion. I activate the power of God to defeat all circumstances that so far have caused illness, poverty, slavery, fear, scarcity, and family problems. I recognize that greater faithfulness corresponds with greater authority. I give You thanks, my dear Jesus. Amen.
BIBLE READINGS
Hebrews 1:2
But in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
Colossians 2:8
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
2 Peter 1:3
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children. Hosea 4:6
Knowledge is power, is a popular expression. This is about half true. Hosea 4:6 says that the people of God were destroyed because they lacked knowledge. However, in the language of the Kingdom, true knowledge is acquired through practice. For example, you may know a lot about dieting, but if you don’t apply that knowledge, you will remain overweight. This means that knowledge is not ours until we experience it. There is so much knowledge within our grasp today. Media and information technology give us access to all of mankind’s knowledge, but if we don’t put that knowledge into practice, it does not belong to us. In fact, the most powerful, life-transforming messages of the gospel are preached by people who have experienced what they teach. Trying to preach without having had the personal experience with the power of God means that the message will lack authority. What do I do? Every time I receive a revelation, I am the first to obey it and put it into practice. That way, when I manifests His power and reveals more to me.

It doesn’t matter how much knowledge you have of God; the important thing is to experience His power. Like this pastor from Africa, you must dare to believe God, although what you may be asked to do may sound crazy.
Let us pray
Heavenly Father, I lay myself before You, and pray to the God of miracles, to the God who heals, transforms, redeems, delivers and provides. I break every religious spirit, I pull out the blindfold from my eyes and I start to walk in faith. Lord, I ask You to work a miracle in this desperate situation that I’m living. Give me an answer Lord, I will obey, and I will tell of the wonders You had done for me. The glory is Yours and You do not share it with anyone! Thank You Father. Amen.

Psalm 119:153
Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law.

Therefore My people will go into exile for their lack of understanding; their dignitaries are starving and their masses are parched with thirst.
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Every chapter of the book of Acts is filled with miracles; many people complain that this didn’t happen in the Bible! Well there are many things that God has done that are not in the Bible. Frequently people criticize what they are incapable of producing themselves. They criticize miracles because they can’t produce them and healing because they can’t perform them. Yet, God is so magnificent that He gives us all the opportunity to be used by Him to produce miracles, even when we don’t fully understand them. What do we need to be used by Him? Simply be available. What is the challenge for today? To ignore all criticism and lend our bodies to God, because today as in the past, He continues to work miracles!
Activation
Have you doubted what God can do? If so, it is time to abandon criticism and start believing in the One and true God.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus, today I deliver myself from all doubt of Your supernatural power. I abandon all complaining, and choose to lend You my body so that You can keep working miracles among Your children. Lord, use me to be a blessing wherever I go. I thank You, because You transformed one complainer into a doer of Your Word!

1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.
Romans 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
1 Timothy 4:8
8 For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
When we operate from a position of need, abundance does not come to our lives. This happens because God always provides for His purpose, not for human desires. If you are living paycheck to paycheck, you cannot be a blessing to others. Nonetheless, many conform to this level. They are as the servant in the parable of the talents, who misused his talent by burying it (Mt. 25:14–30). They live satisfied with having just enough, not realizing this is the mentality of scarcity. This is not the mentality of the Kingdom! God wants you to fulfill His will and purpose, because doing so will result in abundance. Change your mentality of scarcity, and exchange it for one of abundance and overabundance. It is important that we seek to fulfill God’s purpose in our lives, instead of getting bogged down with lack. Many may believe that poverty makes them humble before the eyes of God, but He detests this attitude because it goes against His original purpose. God wants us to be prosperous in all things! (3 Jn. 1:2)
Activation
Do you want to stop living with just sufficiency, or would you prefer to live in abundance? Stop doing things out of necessity, and instead seek to fulfill the purpose of God for your life. Do you dare to start today?
Let us pray
Father, right now I break the scarcity mentality because that is not a Kingdom mindset. I align my purpose to Your purpose and my will to Your will. I change the scarcity mentality and replace it with a mentality of abundance and overabundance. Thank you Father because, by walking in Your purpose, I’m prosperous in all things, and the Kingdom advances. Amen.

Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Deuteronomy 31:8
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.
Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” Romans 9:15
The Lord may bless the least expected individual. Perhaps the person is no one to you; one who doesn’t appear to have the right qualifications, or the best appearance, but he is the right person to God because His eyes see beyond the eyes of man. The Lord is sovereign, and blesses the people He chooses according to His will. This happens because the blessing of God originates in Him. “Why is one person blessed more than another?” people may wonder. Others may opine on whom they think should have been blessed instead, but it is not for us to choose. If you ask me what determines who will be blessed, my answer would be, “His obedience.” When we obey the Lord, He will not hold back His blessing. Deuteronomy 28:1-3 affirms that if we obey, the blessings will reach us. So instead of complaining, ask yourself why others are receiving blessings while you are not. Ask Him, “Lord am I really obeying You?” The Bible says that God does not have practice favoritism, so if we are walking in obedience, then we must be blessed.
When someone is blessed by God, it’s as obvious as it is impacting. Flo and Julissa Perez testimony, from Tampa, Florida, from a covering church from King Jesus, it shows how obedience brings blessing. Let’s read:

Do you want The Lord to bless a specific area of your life? Are you obeying God in what He is asking? If so, be aware. God wants to bless you!
Let us pray
Dear Father, I come to your presence as a son, knowing that in You I have heritage. You promised Abraham that You will make a great nation of him, bless him, honor his name and that he would be a blessing wherever he went. Today, I appropriate that promise, because You don’t bless a man, but bless generations. Because when You bless me, You also bless my children, and the children of my children. The generation of the righteous and obedient will be blessed. Amen

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. Psalm 97:5
Worshiping God is a way of acknowledging His existence. Our passionate worship leads us to have intimacy with Him, and causes His presence to be revealed in our lives. Every true worshiper knows how to respond when they are before His presence and why we must be careful about the attitude we adopt, and we cannot allow our minds to wander in temporary affairs that make us indifferent, bored or upset. Just like there are moments where the spiritual atmosphere is so full of joy that the best response is to shout, clap and dance, there are times that worship is so holy, that the smallest noise is out of place. In those moments, our attitude must be to wait in reverent silence. True worship expresses that God is our Father, that Christ is our Lord and Savior, and that His spirit is there with us. If you want God to fill your life right now, lift up your hands to heaven and worship Him for whom He is. Exalt His name and recognize His lordship. The King wants us to worship Him today, in spirit and in truth!
