CHRIST BEHIND YOU
Memorise: Even so faith, if
it hath not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:17
The confidence a man exudes depends on the power
backing him up. As a child of God, all that Christ won back from the devil was
for you and not for Himself. Our imagination cannot fathom the scope of His
power. The good news is that he has granted you the authority to exercise this
power. Ephesians 1:19-22 perfectly reveals this truth:
“And what is the exceeding
greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his
mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and
set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all
principality, and power, and might, and
dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in
that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to
be the head over all things to the church."
The power described in the above scripture is what
backs up your authority in this life. This is what “Christ behind you” means.
It means the power that holds the universe is backing you up. It is not to you
that situations and people will submit, but to the power behind you.
The power of Jesus, grants you the authority to do the
following:
“And these signs shall follow
them that believe; In my name shall they cast all devils; they shall speak with
new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover.” Mark 16:17
The awesome events enumerated above, are to happen
through the believer by the backing of Jesus. Some years ago, there was this man
who was loaded with demons. He was brought for prayers to be delivered. While
praying for him, he would get up. When I commanded him to sit down he then
responded, “In whose name”, I said “In Jesus’ Name”. He said “that is
different”, and sat down quietly. That was manifestation of “Christ behind me.” How many articles
of this promise are reality in your life and ministry? For Christ to be behind
you, you have to walk before Him. In Genesis 17:1, God told Abraham to walk
before Him and be perfect, therefore, if you will enjoy the backing of Jesus,
you are to stay in front of Him and be careful to walk on in perfection as He
takes interest in watching you. His grace is sufficient for you.
Action Point
Evaluate the level of
fulfilment of Mark 16:17-18 in your life and pray to God concerning what part
of it is not yet manifesting.
