CHRIST, HEAD OVER ALL
Bible Text: Ephesians 1: 15 – 23
RBT Passage: 1 Corinthians 14-16
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church.’ – Ephesians 1:22
The scripture and nature tell us that everything the LORD created is in order. To allow for orderliness, each aspect and section has its leader. Man is called to head the creatures of God on earth (Genesis 1:26). Husbands are called to head the family of man.
Jesus Christ is the LORD of all. The scripture explains that all things were created by Him and through Him and for Him, in Him all things hold together (v. 23, Colossians 1:15-17). God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him’ (Colosians 1:19). Apostle Paul stresses the need to have faith in Jesus (v.15) so as to enjoy these and many others under His headship: Spirit of Wisdom; Better revelation of Him and His purpose for your life; A heart to receive and run with divine vision of heaven for your life; Hope of eternal life and eternal home which He has gone to prepare for you; and Power to fulfill divine purpose and be an overcomer in the journey of life and of faith (v.16-19).
As you prepare to go out today, surrender all to Him for a guaranteed success.
Insight: You have nothing to fear as long as you allow Jesus to be your LORD.
Prayer: My Father and my LORD, may I not run out of your ‘cover’ for my life! Amen!
