Are you in position?

    Think about this...In Genesis 2, God gave Adam a position. A position with authority, dominion, and yes -power. The Bible says that whatever Adam named the animals, that became their name... He thought of what their names would be, and His words made it so. Understand that it was the power of the position given to him by God. So...  Have you slipped out of your rightful place ordained by God? Are you in someone's position? Are you using the power given to you by God to accomplish what's He has purposed you to do? Are you in position? 

     I am not a proponent of a "name-it and claim-it" theology. Nor do I support a ministry of self-indulgence. I am, however, an advocate for understanding the proper position that God has ordained for you; there is authority and power that comes along with that position. A very real power. That position is at your work place, in your church, your community, in your family, and most importantly your very own life. What does that mean? That means that if God has called you to lead your bookclub (or fill in the blank______), He has given you the power of that position to carry out the job. 
     Understand that you don't have the power of the position, if you are out of position (or if you are in someone else's position). In other words, a mechanic does not need the same tools that a carpenter needs. The tools are specific to the job. And, so is the authority, power, and responsibilities. 
Get into your position and reclaim your authority, dominion, and power- and do what God has ordained you to do. 
I love you, and I am praying for you.
