Life Flow
Psalms 119:93
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
KJV
At first glance one would think the Psalmist is saying I will never forget your word Lord, but that is not what he is saying
at all, the word precept means mandates and mandate means given or delegated authority, so the psalmist is saying I
will never forget your delegated authority given to me and I will carry it out and as I carry out your delegated authority
given to me it will increase my life flow or span because I have been obedient to do what you gave me to do. Life span
can increase or decrease in accord with our fulfilling God's mandate given to each person and everyone has a mandate
from God.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good
works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we
should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].

There are none of us brought into the body of Christ and given nothing to do. What we are given to do no matter how
small or large it may seem is our mandate from God. Paul likens the body of Christ with the physical body and not one
part of the physical body has nothing to do and every part brings a gain to the whole body.
The body of Christ is filled with the fullness of Him that filleth all in all, so there will always be sufficient strength for each
part to carry out their mandate for the fullness of Him that filleth all in all is the strength of God that flows to every part as
needed but if there is a part that is not carrying out his or her mandate the strength of God will not flow there and that
part will decrease in life for lack of obedience.
The bible says each part of the body of Christ is special, having their own part to do so there will be times that one part
will receive more strength than the other by reason of their God given mandate, there will be times when one part will
receive more anointing than another part because of their God given mandate.
Every person receives their mandate from God according to their ability given them by God and there is never a reason
for jealousy. Every person will bring gain to the kingdom of God as they fulfill their mandate or loss of life if they do not
but God will never give any person a mandate they cannot do in His strength. The mandate will always be bigger than
mans strength in himself but never bigger than God's strength that flows in their obedience to God's given mandate.
Matthew 25:14-30
14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto
them his goods.
15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability;
and straightway took his journey.
16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me
five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make
thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have
gained two other talents beside them.
23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping
where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not,
and gather where I have not strawed:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received
mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken
away even that which he hath.
30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
KJV
Have you taken time as of late to pray and ask God what His mandate is for you. Remember you were not brought into
the church to do nothing for nothing equals nothing and profits nothing and that is not what God wants for you. He wants
you to increase or quicken in life.
