I bless you this day and pray that the victory of Christ that He gained on Golgotha be reflected in your life, so that all the enemies and all situations would submit to you in the name of Jesus Christ.\r\n\r\nToday we will continue talking about the lordship of Jesus Christ.\r\n\r\nWe have already established that the lordship of Jesus Christ implies His rule over everything and everybody. We saw that God allowed the man to rule over the earth just as He rules and reigns in heaven. This authority was lost through the fall and Adam\u2019s disobedience. But we know that Jesus Christ came to the earth and regained this authority for us. We know that the devil is the main enemy of the mankind. He is the one that resists the will of God on the earth.\r\n<h6>\u00abAnd war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, \u201eNow salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been cast down\u00bb\u00a0(Revelation, 12:7-11a).<\/h6>\r\nThere was war in heaven, after which the devil was cast out. When he was cast down from heaven it made him furious. Afterwards he deviously stole what God had given the man. Because of it mankind became devil\u2019s hostage. But praise God for His wisdom! God became a man, descended to the earth to take away from the devil what Adam had lost. Jesus Christ after He came to the earth fought with the devil and won total victory over him.\r\n<h6>\u00abHaving disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it\u00bb\u00a0(Colossians, 2:15).<\/h6>\r\nJesus won total victory over the devil and shamed him publically. Besides winning the victory on the earth, He also descended into hell \u2013 the headquarters of the devil where He also overcame him. Death and hell could not keep Him and He rose from the dead. The lordship of Jesus Christ means that He is the Lord in heaven, on the earth and in hell, and everything is submitted to Him.\r\n<h6>\u00ab..who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father\u00bb\u00a0(Philippians, 2:6-11).<\/h6>\r\nWe see that Jesus descended from heaven to the earth, humbled Himself and took of the form of a bondservant. The Ruler became a man. Jesus died for us and won a victory, and for this reason God exalted the name of Jesus above every other name. Thus, Jesus is the Lord in heaven, on the earth and in hell. It means that\u00a0<strong>there is no other name \u2013 the name of a sickness, a problem, a person etc. \u2013 that could come up against the name of Jesus.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nIf we are aware of the authority of Jesus, if we identify ourselves with His rule and submit our lives to it, then we can walk in the name of Jesus and crush under our feet all those things that do not\u00a0fit the will of God and come up against it. And we will see victory!\r\n\r\nI pray that the Lord would help us all to grasp the true meaning of the lordship of Jesus. When we proclaim \u201cJesus is LORD!\u201d having the proper understanding, then it brings changes into our lives.\r\n\r\nIf we allow the revelation of this word control our actions,\u00a0and then our prayers, sermons, our reaction to different complicated situation will be totally different, because we will firmly know and understand that Jesus is LORD!\r\n\r\nBe blessed!\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If we are aware of the authority of Jesus, if we identify ourselves with His rule and submit our lives to it, then we can walk in the name of Jesus and crush under our feet all those things that do not fit the will of God and come up against it.
