Jesus Rules Over All Kings

Theme for the Week: JESUS - OUR EXEMPLARY KING

Reading: Revelation 1:5-6
_______________________

Revelation 1:5 (NIV)
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood,

As the prince over the kings of the earth, Jesus rules over all kings. He is the first begotten of the death; He is the Son of God, and have dominion over everything in the earth.

The kings of the earth have their boundaries, but Jesus Christ is not limited. The kings of the earth have a time period within which they can reign, Jesus reigns forever.

When Jesus was given all powers, He made us kings and priests. He has given us an example of how kings must behave. On that note, we cannot be puffed up, but rule with humility and love unfeigned.
Stay blessed. Shalom.

Let's Pray:
King of kings, we bless You. Lord, as the Prince of the kings of the earth, Jesus Christ, has given us an example, so help us to rule with humility and love. Amen.

Jesus Reigns Over All Powers

Theme for the Week: JESUS - OUR EXEMPLARY KING

Reading: Ephesians 1:20-21
_______________________

Ephesians 1:21 (NKJV)
far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

There are powers, and there is power. Unto Jesus has all power been given, whether in this age, or in that which is to come. No power or principality can be compared with that of Christ.

Jesus does not reign over a specific power or some powers, but He reigns over every power. He reigns over the power of death, sickness, affliction, darkness, just to name a few.

Dear friend, do you know that you can also have the power of Christ? By believing in Jesus Christ, you are equipped with the power to reign over all powers.
Hallelujah!

Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we thank You. Lord, fill us with the power of Christ to overcome all powers as Jesus reigns over all powers. Amen.

The Nature of Jesus' Kingdom

Theme for the Week: JESUS - OUR EXEMPLARY KING

Reading: Daniel 7:13-14
_______________________

Daniel 7:14 (NKJV)
Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom the one which shall not be destroyed.

While the scope of Jesus' kingdom is not limited to a nation, but permeates every nation, its nature is an everlasting one; one that has no end.

A time is coming where every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father; because dominion shall be given Him that all people, nations, and tongues should serve Him.

Do you have to wait till that day before you will confess Christ? No. You can be part of the kingdom now; for the Bible says that whosoever believes shall have everlasting life. Join the kingdom now and live the life of Christ Jesus as we wait for the Lord.
Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the kingdom of the Son of Man. LORD God, may we walk in this kingdom that neither passes away nor is it destroyed, that we will not be destroyed along with those that pass away, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

The Scope of Jesus' Kingdom

Theme for the Week: JESUS - OUR EXEMPLARY KING

Reading: Isaiah 9:6-7
_______________________

Isaiah 9:7 (KJV)
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Christ fulfills the messianic prophecy concerning Isaiah's son, Mahershal'alhashbaz. Indeed, God is with us, Immanuel.
Unlike Isaiah's son, who was to reign within a period, Christ Jesus reigns forever.

"Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end..." Jesus has given us a good example in every sphere of life to copy.

Christ's kingdom is one of great humility and peace, bringing great light to the people who walked in darkness.
As His followers, let us illuminate the world with peace through humility.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Everlasting Father, we adore You. Mighty God, may we walk in peace as we reign as the lights of the world, in Jesus' name. Amen.

God's Love Is Unfailing

Theme for the Week: THE BENEFITS OF JUSTIFICATION: ASSURANCE OF GOD'S LOVE

Reading: Psalm 36:5-7

_______________________

 

Psalm 36 (NIV)

*_How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings._*

The love of parents may wax cold. The love of friends may cease. The so called loved are mostly not seen in times of trouble, but God's love never fails.

God never fails us in anyway. He cares to provide our needs each and every day according to His riches in glory. Even when we begin to loose hope, He is right there to turn situations around for our good.

Sometimes, we turn to forget God. We forget that He is the creator of all things, and that He is the giver of life.

In spite of all our shortcomings, God never fail to shower us with love. Let us continue to place our hope in Christ, for in Him are we justified to enjoy the unfailing love of God to the utmost.

Stay blessed.

 

Let's Pray:

Abba Father, we thank You. Lord, shower us with Your unfailing love, in Jesus' name. Amen.
