“The authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down.”

It is obvious that something was going down in that church. It was an interesting read today. The point that I heard loudly was that my authority at the church, in my family, in my life was meant for building up and not tearing down. Things sometimes need to be corrected, however it all must be done for building up! People need to go away having the high probability of thinking that I was building them up. You can’t help it if some people take things wrong, but you can help people to take it right by having the right attitude, having love and by communicating concern for their soul. In the end, I have authority, and I am supposed to use it. I MUST use my authority to ensure the building up of the church, my family and my own life.
