Rhapsody Of Realities Friday 8th

Stand Up For Jesus

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us (Isaiah 33:22).
The Bible says Jesus has been placed “high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of
sovereignty used either in this Age or in the Age to come” (Ephesians 1:21 WNT).

For that reason, it makes no difference what the title is; be it President, Prime Minister, President General, Chief Judge, etc., Jesus is above them all. He’s above every title of sovereignty and government. Now, what does this mean for the Church?


Remember, He’s the head, and the Church is His body; He and the Church are one; we go by the same name. Thus, in union with Him, the Church is above, and has a say in, any and every government in this world. Therefore, those who think the Church is helpless, beggarly, and weak, must think again. Read our opening scripture; it says, “For the LORD is our judge (that’s the Judiciary) , the LORD is our lawgiver
(that’s the legislature) , the LORD is our king (that’s the executive) ….”


Jesus and the Church have a say in every arm of government. He’s the Judge, the Lawgiver, and the King! Have these in your mind, and stand up for Jesus and the Church everywhere, irrespective of the opposition. If you stand up for Him, He’ll stand for you.


Jesus said, “…All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18). Then in the next verse, He said, on the basis and authority of that power, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations….” Your country isn’t left out; you have authority in His Name. Read also what He said in Matthew 28:20, “…lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”


Refuse to be intimidated by any law, regulation, or policies that are against the Gospel; keep serving the Lord faithfully. But control and influence the government and leaders in your prayers and the exercise of spiritual authority in the Name of Jesus Christ.


CONFESSION
The Lord is my salvation; I’ll trust and not be afraid, for He’s my strength, my song and my refuge. The Gospel is prospering in, and through me, penetrating the hearts of men, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

  1. What a Wonderful Message! Our human nature naturally wants to set the record straight and prove that those who’ve wronged us are wrong. Instead, I meditate on God’s Word as it says in Jeremiah 51:36, God says to us, “I will defend you. I will be your lawyer. I will plead your case.” So I don’t have to defend myself. I’ve a defender. The Most High God said He settles my cases, He fights my battles and trust Him to protect my reputation against every unfair word. Glory to God.
