"...For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
Luke 12:48

I shared with my ministry students during a study session I taught, "We have got to become more aware of the accountability factor.  We are all going to have to give an account.  The closer I get to the Throne of Grace the more serious I become about the things of God & what I have left to do."

   People of God, I don't know if you are aware of it, but I think this generation of saints is going to be in BIG TROUBLE with God.  Now why do I say this? Because WE HAVE ALLOWED SO MUCH MESS TO GO ON IN OUR SOCIETY, COMMUNITY & WORLD.

   Now you may say to me, "It sounds like you are holding us responsible for the mess this world is in Bishop?" YOU ARE SO RIGHT!  I do hold us responsible for the mess this world is in.  We stood by passively watching the Enemy errode the moral fiber of our community, we watch drugs & gangs take over our neighborhoods, etc.  And yes I say we really are going to be held responsible for the mess WE'VE ALLOWED!

   It's so much easier for us to look at things and blame the devil for the mess, but lets look at the word of God to see who really is at fault here.  In the 1st place God gave dominion over the earth to man who was made in His image after His likeness.  The word did not say that the Lord said "Let us have dominion over the earth," but rather "let them have dominion."  Man is in charge down here.

   But not all men are in charge here on earth, but Kingdom citizens who have been given a kingdom mandate to exercise dominion, enforcing the will of the King in heaven here on earth. God left us in charge and He gave us the authority needed.  I see you still are not completely convinced so I ask you to turn to Matthew 16:19

"And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever YOU SHALT bind of on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

  Instead of us shacking our heads in disgust at the surroundings and conditions of our society, we need to go out and apologize to these people for allowing things to get so bad.  Jesus said that what we allowed to go on in earth, heaven would allow it, and what we did not permit or allow on earth, heaven wouldn't allow it.  The power/authority of binding & loosing, permitting and prohibiting, belongs to the saints and is the responsibility of the saints.

   It's not too late to recover some ground but I want to exhort you saints of God to get busy using your authority.  We can take back our cities and neighborhoods one block at a time by using our God given dominion.
Be blessed
