In Touch April 2024

Dear friends,

God wants us to live with Kingdom authority, but there can be no reigning in this life until we confess, “Jesus is Lord”
To proclaim someone as Lord means to recognise that someone or something has power and authority. When we claim to give our lives to Christ we surrender to His Lordship.

The Bible makes it very clear that Christ is Lord of all things. He is the Lord of the heavens, Eph 1:2; He is the Lord of the Church, Eph 1:22; He is the Lord of our lives. This is not something we have naturally discovered, rather it is by the Spirit of God that we are enabled to say, “Jesus is Lord”.
1 Cor 12:3 - ‘No one can say, “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.’ Of course, the Holy Spirit opens our eyes to the redeeming claim of Christ’s Lordship. He has enabled us to see the resurrection conquest of His Lordship, yet for our part, there must be confession of His Lordship, as Paul says in Romans 14:11, ‘It is written, “As surely as I live,” says the Lord, “every knee will bow before Me and every tongue confess to God.”’
As we confess Jesus as Lord our salvation is confirmed and sealed. Let’s praise God for opening our eyes to see the truth that ‘Jesus is Lord!’

Yours in Christ,
