In this thought-provoking episode of Perspective Shift: Unveiling Paradigms in Perceptions, host Dare Akinsanya explores the mystery and responsibility of power, where it comes from, why it exists, and how we are called to use it.

Drawing from Scripture and history, Dare unpacks the truth behind Jesus’ words in Matthew 28:18 that “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” He explains how every form of power, whether spiritual, political, intellectual, or natural, ultimately flows from God. The moral weight of power rests on the heart of the one who wields it.

Through the stories of Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, and Saul of Tarsus, this episode shows how even the misuse of power can become a stage for God’s glory and redemption. Dare also reflects on how God’s sovereignty remains steady despite human rebellion and how each of us, as stewards of divine influence, will give an account of how we have used the power entrusted to us.

Listeners are encouraged to examine their own relationship with power, whether they have used it, suffered under it, or misused it, and to embrace God’s offer of restoration and freedom through Christ.
