The lordship of Jesus Christ II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes

Dear friends, welcome to the “Daily Word for Spiritual Edification.” I trust that this word that contains God’s wisdom will strengthen you and lift up your spirit.

We have been talking about the lordship of Jesus and about what it means for us in our daily lives. Yesterday we saw that the lordship of Jesus implies His rule over everything and everyone. We also saw that the Lord desires to exercise His lordship on this earth through His Body which is the Church.

The Bible says that we live in the midst of enemies.

«The LORD said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool.” The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion. Rule in the midst of Your enemies» (Psalm 110:1-2).

This passage talks about Christ: «Rule in the midst of Your enemies», but the Body of Christ – His Church – is included in this prophetic word. Jesus was told to sit at the right hand of God, but it would be God’s children that would overcome God’s enemies and everything that rises against the will of God. God wants us to rule and reign in the midst of the enemies and unfavourable circumstances. We must rule because we have been given God’s authority and we were born conquerors.

«For whatever is born of God overcomes the world…» (1 John, 5:4).

We must be the ones overcoming and not the ones to be overcome! God is not afraid of anything, because He rules and reigns over everything. God is the Ruler! He wants us to express our faith and authority as rulers on this earth.

God wants every one of us to live above the circumstances and not ‘under the circumstances.’ God desires us to exercise the authority and rule of Jesus over all things and circumstances and to subdue all things that rise against the will of God in our lives and on this earth.

«For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ» (2 Corinthians, 10: 3-5).

God has already given us authority over this earth. Do not forget that

“Whatever is born of God overcomes the world.» (1 John 5:4).

God bless you!

Till tomorrow!

    All people need change; we help each other through relationships that we are involved. God alone does not need to change; all the people, on the other side, desperately need to change. We need each other and we help each other to change. If we do not understand it and lose sight of it, then it will be hard for us to build any relationships.

    «Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that on of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples» (Luke, 11:1)The disciples understood that the presence of God in the life of Jesus was closely related to His ability to pray, and they decided to watch Him no more. They realized that they also can come into this presence; that is why they asked Jesus about it.

  • Nobody will be able to harm you if you know God’s voice and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit

    The Bible also states that everything God does endures forever. Nobody is able to destroy or cancel what God makes and builds. For this reason nobody was able to harm Jesus before the appointed time, when Jesus Himself gave up His soul. Jesus was protected by God the Father because he followed the leading and the guidance of the Father.
