Head, Over All Things

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.” Ephesians 1:18-23

Are you honestly able to say that Jesus Christ is the Lord of your life? Is it possible that you belong to a weak or ineffective church where Jesus is not proclaimed and not acknowledged as Lord because He is not Lord of you life?

LORD is term we don’t use in most of our day-to-day conversations. What does it really mean? A lord is one who rules, one who dictates his will and purpose for others. Scripture reveals that there is one supreme Lord over all - the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Any doubt that all will some day surrender their pride and rebellion and acknowledge Him as Lord is dissolved when we read “that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10-11).

But what is your attitude today? Is He your Lord? Do you follow His design, His desire, His revealed will? Once Christ is Lord of my life, my church has a much better opportunity of experiencing the joy and fruit which result when Christ is the Head of the Church.
