    Chapter 3 spiritual resources for intercession Luke 9:1 I will like to relate it with
    Matthew 10:1
    The King chooses apostles, gives them work to do and teaches them how to behave
    1 And when he had called his twelve disciples to him, he gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out, and to heal every kind of sickness and disease.
    “Apostles” – the Greek word translated “apostle” means “a delegate”, “messenger”, “one sent forth with orders”. Here for the first time the twelve original apostles of Jesus are listed. Observe that they were first disciples (learners) before they were apostles. What is the use of going to teach others if one has not been taught by Christ? Observe too that they received their authority directly from Christ and in His presence. He gave them authority to do just what He had been doing. He was preparing them to be the future leaders of the Church of the New Testament.
    Christ chose His apostles to be His special representatives on earth, and to be able (along with all the writers of the New Testament) to give infallible teaching. In that sense of the word, there have not been any other true apostles after they passed away, and there are none now. They had a unique work to do and they completely finished it. So what we need to do is act upon the word because we have authority from the word and we find our being in it
    Also note that wen intercession is made or done ,it is not done with our abilities or strength but on the basis of spiritual power and authority delegated to us by Jesus (THE WORD)
    THANK YOU

    • one thing I have learned from you is that ,Intercession is not done with our ability or strength but on the basis of Spiritual power and Authority delegated to us by jesus….
