Lord of all

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the [latter] time forth, even forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9v6-7 (AMPC)

I am grateful that I serve the living Lord, the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. The King of kings and the Lord of all lords. The Creator and Possessor of Heaven and Earth. All power in heaven and on earth belong to Him, and at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2v10-11). The nations will rage and the heathen will try to deny His Lordship, but it is what it is. God is God, and all power belongs to Him (Psalm 62v11). 1 Corinthians 15 (see below) lets us know that He has given power to the Lord Jesus Christ who will bring all power to be subject to Himself. After that our Lord Jesus will hand it all over to God the Father again. I am thrilled about this, because regardless of what we see, we know who owns all power and authority. The devil and demons know this as well, and Revelations 12v12 tells us that the devil knows that his time is short. A warning is sounded to the kings in Psalm 2v10-12 (NIV) saying “Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate His rule with trembling. Kiss his son, or He will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for His wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.”

“After that comes the end (the completion), when He delivers over the kingdom to God the Father after rendering inoperative and abolishing every [other] rule and every authority and power. For [Christ] must be King and reign until He has put all [His] enemies under His feet. The last enemy to be subdued and abolished is death. For He [the Father] has put all things in subjection under His [Christ’s] feet. But when it says, All things are put in subjection [under Him], it is evident that He [Himself] is excepted Who does the subjecting of all things to Him. However, when everything is subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also subject Himself to [the Father] Who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all [be everything to everyone, supreme, the indwelling and controlling factor of life].” 1 Corinthians 15v24-28 (AMPC)

Prayer

Our Lord and our God we honour You. We pledge our allegiance to the Immortal, Invisible, Only wise God, whose foolishness is wiser than the wisest of men. Lord You are good, reign in me and in us in Jesus name, amen. Of the increase of Your government and peace, let there be no end in our lives o God. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Be glorified forevermore O Lord. In Jesus mighty and powerful name we pray, amen.
