THE
LORD
Acts
2:34-41
Devotional:- "Therefore
let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom
you crucified, both Lord and Christ” (V.36) NKJV
A
lot of time when we use the word ‘lord’ we do not seem to have the right
understanding of it. Lordship is not a title for anyone. Today the Dominion of
Christ is not rooted in the life of some believers because they do not know
Jesus as their Lord.
When
the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter rose up
among them and preached the gospel of the New Testament to the people. One of
the things the Holy Spirit declared through his mouth was the ordination of
Jesus as the Lord and Christ.
The
word ‘lord' does not only signify headship but authority, dominion, and power.
This means he has fought and won his way to such a level of power. And by the
reason of such possession, he exercises exclusive authority over his subjects.
By this, he operates in dominion.
Do
you know that Jesus has won His way to the top and the Father has made Him both
Lord and Saviour? Now the heaven and the earth are under His dominion (Matthew
28:18). So, it is a deception for you to be under any other dominion. The only
accredited one is Jesus. But you know among the subjects some people still try
to rule over others. And that is the case of the devil. Don’t let him rule over
your life. The great one in you is the ruler over heaven and earth (1 John 4:4).
All things are to submit to you in His name (Philippians 2:9-10). If He is your
Lord, no one else should be. Nowhere can you find two kings ruling over a city.
Declare Him as your own Lord and submit to His commandment (James 4:7). Then
all other authorities will be out of your life.
DECLARATION:
JESUS IS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AND ALL OTHER AUTHORITY MUST PACK OUT OF MY
LIFE.
“WHEN
YOUR LORD IS SUPREME YOU ARE SUPREME”
