The Mandate of The Wailing Women Worldwide

Description

A mandate is an authorisation to act, a charge to get things done, a commission to carry out
an injunction, a precept to adhere to, a guideline to follow without deviation, and an important
order which must be obeyed. God can give a mandate to an individual, a group of people or a
nation. Satan also gives mandates to those who serve him in order to counter God’s work.
Every mandate is specific, it is time bound and it carries a reward as well as sanctions.
A Mandate may be defined as:
a) A legal document such as a letter or warrant which gives one the power to arrest an
offender as in the case of Saul of Tarsus who received an authorisation to go to Damascus
and arrest Christians in the early church. (Acts 9:1-2).
· An authorization to do something which may be verbal or written.
· Marching orders to get a specific task or assignment done.
· An ordination/election and investiture with full powers to do things or operate effectively
in an office. Every President, Prime Minister, Governor or Senator receives a mandate
on the day of his/her inauguration to rule over his/her domain legally for a specified
period of time.
b) A verbal or written permission or order to get something done as in the case of Ezra and
Nehemiah. Nehemiah the cupbearer received a mandate from the King to go with a
company of people to Jerusalem and rebuild the broken walls. A mandate is an order to
execute someone or an assignment, as in the case of Saul the king of Israel who was
mandated by God to utterly destroy the people of Amalek (I Samuel 15:1-3).
c) A commission to carry out a specific assignment in a certain way, e.g.
· The man with the ink horn who was mandated to mark the foreheads of the saints (Ezekiel
9:1-8).
· The Angels sent to rescue Lot and his family before the destruction of Sodom and
Gomorrah (Genesis 19:12-17).
