1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
David, the man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:22), declares to God, “…all that is in the heaven and the earth is Thine”. As a new day dawns, it is well to remember that God owns the world and everything in it. He owns your home and car and television. He owns your mind and emotions and will and your very life. He gave it freely as a trust, and He may take it whenever He pleases and do you no wrong. We are not our own (1 Corinthians 6:19). Nor is anything we possess our own. God owns all of it. We are only stewards.
“Thine is the kingdom” – In other words, God rules and reigns in His universe. “Thou art exalted as Head above all” – God is the final Authority in the universe. Do these words sound familiar to you? You will recall that when the disciples asked the Lord Jesus to teach them to pray, He gave them a model prayer. He took them right back here to David’s prayer. “Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9,10)
May God be exalted in your life today, beloved. His sovereignty in your life is as your best Friend, not your enemy.
Brother Viola, my prayer is that God will give you and Pastor Ben a harvest of souls in India.
As I was reading your devotional this morning I realized that my wife and I had just prayed for the same thing??? Lately this supernatural phenomenon has been taking place with other ministries and now with yours??? I’ve named it, ” spiritual sync.” I was going to mention it the other day, but felt it was not appropriate yet.
I’m a bus driver with RTS and I can tell you that the things I hear from the afroamerican community concerns me. I noticed that a lot of the black drivers are growing beards and shaving their mustache to identify themselves with ISIS??? Just yesterday I heard a conversation, between to black men, talking about this gang in the city who brags of ” killing 120 jokers before the year is over?” “Jokers ” meaning white people. This men were passengers who were on the way to work early morning and laughing about it, while at the same time scared of living among this violence.
When you wrote about the, ” Lord’s Prayer, ” I realized that we were synchronized spiritually, that our only hope is Jesus coming to our rescue, that we are in the times of Noah and judgement is inevitable. Only “the synchronized ” will hear that trumpet blast, to the rest it will sound like 7 thunders??????????????????? Could the mystery of the thunders in revelations 10 be the mystery of 1 Corinthians 15:51,52??? Read both and see if you see a connection.
May The Father give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ.
