OPERATE YOUR MANDATE (1)

TOPIC: OPERATE YOUR MANDATE (1)
TEXT: LUKE 15:11-32

Knowledge and information precedes involvement and action, it is not enough to know your mandate or understand your rights, you must operate underneath. Many have not gotten to the knowledge of their mandate, but for those who have gotten into the realm, I congratulate you. You can now begin to operate the code of your mandate without any stoppage. It is impossible to be stopped when you enter into this realm, you are made for life. It is a sin if you do not operate your mandate, you will pay dearly for it, the devil understand this very well hence the reason for his darts and he waging war against Christians. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ – Gal. 3:27.

Here is a scenario, you have seen a traffic warden at some critical junctions in cities directing traffic before, why is it that when he raise up his hand, motorists stop? It is because of the authority he operates in. what makes him/her to be different from other civilians, the uniform he put on. It is possible that you have a fake traffic warden on the road, he may manage to get the uniform, do you know that he will carry out his intention and motorists will obey him because of the uniform on him. So when you are baptised into Christ, you wore Christ; you wore authority, you put on power. Therefore, begin to operate under this and see what you will enjoy spiritually and physically.

The question is, how do you operate your mandate? It is possible to operate your mandate if: 1) you demand for it. It is painful to God if He sees His children operating under self-pity or begging Him for bread. He wants His children to operate under the authority that has been given. Look, you don’t have to ask me before it is done if you are aware of the power in your inside, God says. Whatsoever you loose on earth SHALL BE loosed in Heaven, Heaven is not answering, because the earth failed to demand.

2) You return to your father, the prodigal son after he had wasted his inheritance, the Bible says when he came to his senses, he returned to his father and the later welcomed him with a party. How come the prodigal son made it back to the fold? God does not want sinner’s death, but repentance. The prodigal son operated in the mandate as a son, even though he failed at some point. Unlike the big brother at home, he was just working without any demand. He refused to celebrate his brother’s return, even though the elder brother was the Lord of all, he differeth nothing from a servant; he never operated under the mandate he had. It is a pity because half of his kingdom had been wasted by the junior brother who later came back to share from his own inheritance. Their father said you have not for once demanded and enjoy. Beloved, no matter how hard life is, once in a while, chop chicken or roasted fish. It is not a sin to be happy, you are not the only one going to heaven.

3) Remove fear far from you. You are thinking if you take a leap of faith and it did not work, it will serve as if you have no faith. It is a lie, when a child is trying to walk for the first time, he rise up and fall down, the same child will not only walk at a later stage, he will run and even sometime try high jump. Take away fear from you, walk in your mandate, it is yours.

Word Affirmation: “And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new” - Rev 21:5 (Don't just say it, mean it!)
