LORD of lords

“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful – Revelation 17:14.”

Jesus shall reign wherever the sun doeth his successive journey’s run. His kingdom stretches from shore to shore till sun shall rise and set no more. These were the words of the hymn writer Isaac Watts. The Lord who created the heaven and the earth shall reign forever and the gods that didn’t create the heaven and the earth shall perish.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world. He came into the world to save us from sins that through Him the world would be reconciled back to God. His blood was shed to redeem and save those who believe in His Name. hearken O ye people and give ears O the inhabitants of the earth, Christ Jesus is the Lord of lords.

Here in this world, there are many things and lords making war against the reign of Christ. The world, the flesh, the Satan dwells around this path we tread. Our pilgrimage on earth is such that there are thistles and pricks on the way. There are many things besieging Christian on his way to the celestial city not to talk of the gods of this world – the Beelzebubs and the Apollyons.

There are billions in the world dying under the weight of sin and load of care. The prince of this world is lording it over them. They are under the rule and dominion of darkness. As a matter of truth, there are principalities who have taken it upon themselves to be lords over millions or billions of people in the world. Listen carefully, there are princes of Persia, as well as that of America, of Nigeria, of whatever nation you are presently. They are after the elects.

As it was with the people of Israel right from the days of Moses up until the time of king Zedekiah, they were emptied from vessel to vessel. Pharoah reigned over them in Egypt. Jabin oppressed them in Midian. Balak harassed them with soothsaying. Benhadad later came from Assyria to frighten them in the days of the kings.  Likewise in the days of Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came. Nebuchadnezzar king od Babylon also took the people of the inheritance of the Lord captives to the land of the north.

All these happened to God’s people because they forsook the Rock of their Salvation. They left the Fountain of Living Waters and made unto themselves cisterns, broken cisterns which could hold no water. As much as the oppression and persecution against the people of the Lord are real, more real is the presence of the Lord with the remnants. There are remnants among God’s people. Though other lords had been oppressing the whole land but as touching the remnants, the Lord of hosts will arise to defend them. The question is are you in the number?

Kingdoms have come and gone. Kings came and are no more. Emperors and rulers had been around and are no more. We have heard about the exploits of Alexander the Great, the audacity of Nero, the wisdom of the Greek philosophers and many more. Listen, they are flesh and not spirit. They are men and not God. But there is only one Lord, one Father, one hope and one faith. He is the Lord of lords. Whether the world likes it or not, He shall surely reign and rule over all. All kingdoms and their kings shall bow down before Him casting down their crowns before Him. Once again and forever it shall be sounded aloud throughout the heavens and the earth and to the uttermost part of the world –

“…The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever – Rev. 11:15.”
This shall be the judgement of Christ Jesus over all nations, and people that will not submit to His Lordship –
“But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me – Lk. 19:27.”
 Jesus Christ is the Lord of lords. I counsel you today to agree with Him quickly while thou hath on the way with Him lest He commit you to The Judge. For whether men are in heaven or hell, He will surely rule and reign as Lord over all and as the Lord of all.


LORDSHIP GREETINGS

TO SERVE

Image
  “Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens – Genesis 49:14.” Service today is seen as a heinous word. Most people often tag service with the word “suffering.” The real meaning of service is to serve and to serve is either to do what people can or cannot do for themselves. To serve can also be said to work for someone in exchange for something valuable and precious which will worth the wait, the time, the resources and energy used. To serve can also be said to be in a position of assisting someone who appears to be a superior or master with the intention of gaining knowledge and becoming like that master someday – “ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord… – Matt. 10:25 .” Using the word of our Master, Lord Jesus Christ, to serve means to minister. One word commonly used for those that serve is servant. And each time we hear the word servant, we feel like that purpose is an inferior person. Again, when the word serva...

THE BELOVED'S VOICE

Image
  “I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night – Songs of Solomon 5:2.”   Was this a prayer or heart desire of a man? Could this be the musing of his heart, the meditation in his mind and the words on his lips? Whatever this was, is or would be, it is definite that there was a longing in the soul of the one who penned this. There was an appetite within which kept coming having become a fountain that cannot run dry. It was the voice of the one he loved. Such is the voice of God to those whom He loves. The voice of God is beloved to them. As a Shepherd, His sheep will always hear His voice. The same goes to our God as touching the voice of His elects. They are His beloved too. Their voice to Him, is the voice of the beloved. We shall address this lesson under two points. First, God’s voice to His people. Second...

OUR GUIDE

Image
“For this God is our God for ever and ever: HE will be OUR GUIDE even unto death – Psalms 48:14.” Mountain climbers or mountaineers are people who take adventurous steps. They take pleasure in scouting for mountains. The love they have for what they do is a passion they are driven by. Some of them might have been doing this for historical purpose. Others could have been doing it for archaeological reasons. Still, among these men or women, you might be able to have few who are involved in this adventure for the sole reason of discovery. Whatever reasons they all have to initiate and accomplish this feat, there is something that is common to them all.And the common thing with them is THEIR GUIDE. They dare not go ahead to get this thing done without their guide. They dare not climb to heights without their guide. It is on this guide we shall trust God to help us apply this to ourselves believing that He will not leave us to ourselves but impact upon us the eternal truth in His word. ...
