In Matthew 28:18 (NIV) Jesus declares, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” With these words, Jesus empowers his disciples to carry on the work he began. Passing down authority to every person. It is a reminder that you possess the authority to shape your own destiny.
Believe and become
You hold the authority to believe in yourself and to become the person you are to be. The choice lies within you: to remain stagnant or to move forward. Progression demands execution, dedication, and determination. It is taking action, elevating yourself to new heights, and persevering through life’s challenges.
Unlocking Your potential
Authority often leads to encountering obstacles, but it’s through overcoming these challenges that you grow. You are endowed with untapped potential. It is the application of the potential that leads to achievement and fulfillment. Effort and time are essential ingredients in realizing your capabilities.
Completing, not Competing
The comparison trap can hinder you from fully embracing your authority. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on completing your own journey and adding value to others. You possess unique gifts and talents that you are to cultivate. Cultivating to fulfill your purpose.
Claim Your prize
Take hold of your authority to evolve and grow, running your race with perseverance. 1 Corinthians 9:24 (NIV) states “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.” There is a prize awaiting each of us, bestowed according to how you utilize your gifts and talents.
Recognizing and embracing your authority empowers you to unlock your full potential. Fulfilling your purpose and claim the prize that awaits you. It is a journey of self-discovery, growth, and ultimately, realizing the greatness within. Your authority is your choice to use to maximize your potential.
