TOPIC: AUTHORITY ABOVE DEMONS
BIBLE READING: MARK 1:24-27
MEMORY VERSE: The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” (MARK 1:27 NIV)
REFLECTION ON THE WORD
Different kinds of Demons operate as evil spirits in the world; their mission is to destroy destinies, families, souls and so forth. As a child of God; you do not need to worry about their existence or what they can do, because Jesus Christ has given us authority over demonic forces (Luke 10:18-19).
All that you need to overcome those demonic forces is the presence of Jesus Christ in your life. From today’s reading, we saw that as soon as the demons recognised the presence of Jesus Christ, they started expressing discomfort through their host (Mark (1:24). No wonder the bible says in the presence of God there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17). Do you have the presence of God in your family, church, and business? If yes, then you have the authority that is above all demonic powers.
Note: demons find habitation in sinful bodies; therefore, strive to live a holy and righteous life through Christ, so that you can command even demon like Jesus (Mark 1:25) and they shall obey you without any choice even as it is written; greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
