The church I pastor has a motion-detector lighting system, which automatically turns off the lights in a room if no one is present for a certain number of minutes. When someone walks into the vicinity of the motion detector, the lights come back on.
In many ways the motion-detector lighting system pictures a kingdom man’s practice of his right to rule. The electric company has supplied all of the electricity needed to fully power every light in our buildings, but that power doesn’t come on until motion is detected. No motion, no lights.
Similarly, God has provided each man everything he needs to exercise his authority. But use as with the motion detector system, motion is required to witness the power that’s available.
For a kingdom man, the question isn’t one of power or authority. It’s one of motion.
