Spiritual Responsibility
The word "responsibility is a word commonly use in our daily transactions or conversations, and it means having a duty to deal with something, or having a control over someone. It also mean being accountable or liable for something. We like to assume or take responsibility both in our social circle and professional jobs, because in our social circle it makes us look good and loved by those in our click. In our professional circle, it gives us an edge over our contemporaries in case of possible promotion, and also make our CVs look good, and set us up for the next step in our career. That is why in our professional work, we like to take on as much responsibility as we can. The more we take, the better for us.
But how many people take spiritual responsibility for their own lives and family?
The nations of Israel was birthed by a mighty deliverance (Exodus 13:17-14:31) King David experienced many deliverance during His life time. He called upon the Lord for deliverance and the Lord answered him (Ps 34:4). God is always attentive to His people, and He answers our cries and prayers. Deliverance is a sign of God's love and mercy, and the word deliverance means "Salvation"
One of the greatest revelations any believer would ever have is the revelation of self-deliverance. We can loose ourselves from the grip and control of powers of darkness (Isa 52:2). We can exercise power and authority for our own lives. The keys of the Kingdom has been given to us, so whatever we bind on earth would be bind in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Matt. 16:19). A key is authority, it is power, to either allow or refuse entry, it is authority or power of possession of something. The word key is very symbolic. When you a key figure or member of an organisation it means you can make vital decision. So you we have power and authority as kingdom citizens. Jesus also said we should cast out the beam in our eyes (Luke 6:42) The word "Cast" here is the same as casting out demons.
Therefore, take spiritual responsibility for your life and family. Do not expect or depend on someone else for your spiritual well-being. God has given you the same power and authority he gave to your prophet, pastor, man of God or Bishop. You never put in it use. Get deep into the Word, confess it loud and clear over your life, ministry, marriage, family, calling, or business. With aggression pray strong prayers that rout the enemy out. The bible says "As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me. The strangers shall fade away and be afraid of their close places (Ps 18:44-45).
Do not allow self-pity or lukewarmness hold you back. Stir yourself up to prayer with vibrant praise/worship. These are the Divine weapons God has bless us with to overcome the enemy.
God bless you.
