Sunday 17 August 2025 - The Father’s authority
Proverbs 2:1-6 NIV
“My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Prayer : Lord help me to obey you in the name of Jesus Christ. Life is about following and adhering to principles. When you do, you will discover treasures and find happiness.
Authority - power or right to give orders, make decisions, and enforce obedience.
Greek word for authority is “exousia” - which signifies the power to command, the right to control, or the ability to make things happen.
Acts 1:6-8 NKJV
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" [7] And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. [8] But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
As Christian’s, we have the tendency of always wanting to know the “WHW (why, how, and when).
Matthew 24:36 NIV
““But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
Accept the following realities about life as a child of God:
