THE
LION
Revelation
5:1-9
Devotional:- “But
one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe
of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its
seven seals”
(V.5) NKJV
Confidence
in life is achieved only when a man is restful in his mind. No man can attain a
good state of rest until he has ascertained his factors of confidence. The
reason why men fail is because they unreasonable trust in a factor that is not
tested. I have seen people fall as a result of trying to sit on a chair without
ascertaining its condition. Some fellows pick other people’s cars without
ascertaining the state of their efficiency. That could be very dangerous.
Friend,
let us ascertain Jesus upon whom I am inviting you to trust. He is the lion of
the tribe of Judah. He is the root of the house of David. If you observe in
Genesis 49:8-12, when Jacob was prophetically blessing his children when he got
to Judah, he said he is a lion’s whelp, who shall rouse him up (Genesis 49:9).
He is a no-go area for anyone. That was referring to Jesus. See, no power can
try Him (Proverbs 30:30). This is not an ordinary lion but of the tribe of
Judah. The Bible says the rulership shall not depart from Him (Genesis 49:10).
This means He is the one to rule eternally. Our scripture today says He is the
root of David (Revelation 5:5). David was the king who lost no battle all
through his days. And if Jesus is his root, he then is the source of the
unfailing strength.
If
you rely on Him, you cannot fail. He will make you a winner and a ruler over
the forces of life eternally. He will be your unfailing strength. See, the
scroll of your life the enemy has rolled up a long time ago is about to be
opened. Stop weeping. Jesus, by His strength, is opening your destiny up to the
next phase of glory. Just begin to praise and worship Him like the elders did.
And you will never be the same again.
PRAYER:
JESUS, BE MY EVERLASTING STRENGTH.
“WHEN
YOUR SCROLL IS OPENED, YOUR GLORY IS OPENED.”
