THE DOMINION AND SUPREMACY OF CHRIST

PASTOR CHRIS

Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come (Ephesians 1:20-21).

Our Lord Jesus Christ is not one among many authorities, governments or powers in this world; He’s far above them. He’s high above all other government, authority, power, dominion, and every title of sovereignty used in this age and in the age to come. That means there’s no system, no structure, no name, and no office anywhere that is outside the dominion and supremacy of Christ.

Remember, the Bible says He has a government (Isaiah 9:6) and His government is one with unlimited influence, power, dominion and authority: “Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end...” (Isaiah 9:7). His authority supersedes every earthly system. He is the Head and we are His body. And the Bible says His government is upon His shoulders, which means His body.

That’s why when any system stands against the Gospel of Jesus Christ or seeks to hinder the Church, we keep them in check. We frustrate their efforts and overthrow their plans. We have the authority to do that because we function in His Name. As He’s far above every ruler, authority, power and principality of darkness, so are we, because He raised us up together and made us sit together with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6).

His dominion and supremacy aren’t temporary but forever. Both now and in the world to come, His authority stands. The Bible shows the extent of His rule; everything is under Him. Ephesians 1:20-22 (MSG) says, “All this energy issues from Christ: God raised him from death and set him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from his rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything....” Blessed be God!

Live with this consciousness. You’re functioning under the authority of the One who is above all—the Lord Jesus. Therefore, walk in dominion and supremacy of His glory and mighty power.

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the dominion and supremacy of Jesus Christ over all governments, powers, dominions and principalities of darkness. I walk in the consciousness of His lordship and exercise dominion in every situation. I stand firm for the Gospel, bold and full of faith, knowing that I operate under the highest authority, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

CHRIST—THE GOD-MAN DELIVERER

PASTOR CHRIS

And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16).

We have to understand something about the name, Christ. It’s the English form of the Greek “Christos,” and that is the Greek form of the Hebrew “Messiah.” What does “Messiah” mean? It means the God-man deliverer. That’s why Jesus is called the Anointed One, the God-man Messiah.

From the prophecies of Moses and the other prophets, they understood that a Messiah would come, the God-man would come, and that this God-man would deliver them. And what kind of deliverance were they expecting? The ultimate deliverance! It was the deliverance from all evil and from all that’s human. Why did the Jews think that way?

It’s because they knew that what was human had become corrupted. They knew the story of how man fell in the Garden of Eden through Adam’s transgression. Thus, they believed that only the God-man deliverer, the ultimate deliverer, could set humanity free from Satan’s bo***ge and the corruption that worked in nature.

Man’s heart became deceitful above all things and desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9). So, man realised he needed deliverance from himself, from that fallen nature. That’s why they looked forward to the coming of the God-man, the Messiah. That’s why He was called the Anointed One. Not because they didn’t know about the anointing.

They knew Moses was anointed, likewise the priests. They knew the Kings, for example, David, and even Saul, and then the Prophets, were all anointed. They were familiar with the anointing. So they weren’t just talking about an anointed one but the God-man. That was their expectation.

But sadly, when He came, they didn’t recognise Him. The Bible says, "He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11). Jesus is that God-man. He is the Christ. Not just an anointed man, but the One who brought the ultimate deliverance. In Him, you’ve been delivered from all that’s evil and from the fallen human nature. You’ve been brought into a new life.

You’re not trying to be delivered; you’ve been delivered: “Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Colossians 1:13). You’re not of the old human order; you’re a new creation by reason of Christ—the God-man deliverer. Blessed be God!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of Jesus Christ, the God-man and my ultimate deliverer. I live in the consciousness of this truth that I’ve been brought into a new life in Christ, a life of glory and righteousness. I walk in this reality today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

- But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

DON’T BE SELECTIVE WITH TRUTH

PASTOR CHRIS

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth (John 17:17).

The truth of God’s Word is not subject to personal preference. You don’t accept one part and reject another. God’s Word is absolute truth; it’s complete, consistent, and dependable. Sadly, there’re those who say they don’t believe certain parts of the Bible, for example, the ascension of Jesus Christ. You’re not a Christian if you don’t believe that Jesus ascended to heaven.

The Scriptures clearly reveal that He was taken up into heaven. Recall the words of the angel to the disciples in Acts 1:11, “…Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” That wasn’t symbolic; it happened; it’s an undeniable reality: The Lord Jesus ascended into heaven.

Before Him, there was Enoch (Hebrews 11:5), and Elijah (read 2 Kings 2:9-11); these two were caught up into heaven. These were real events, showing you that God’s dealings are consistent and His Word is dependable. So, if someone questions one part of the Word, where does it stop?

If, as a Christian, you don’t believe that Jesus ascended to heaven, then it means you also don’t believe that there’s a heaven because one of the reasons we're going to heaven is what Jesus said in His prayer to the Father in John 17:24, “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am….”

He wants us to see heaven and see that everything He told us was true. He wants us to come and actually participate in what happens in heaven and then come back with Him to rule the nations for one thousand years before the Judgment. Hallelujah! So, the Scriptures reveal that heaven is real.

Your life in Christ is not limited to this present world. There’s a future with Him. Therefore, believe the Word in its entirety; don’t be selective with truth. Don’t build your faith on theories or assumptions of men. Receive the Word fully and build your life on the whole counsel of God’s truth.

CONFESSION

Your Word, O Lord, is complete and perfect, absolutely dependable, and my life is built and established on the whole counsel of your Word. I walk in the light of all that you’ve revealed in your Word. Therefore, my life is excellent and full of glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

- By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. |L

- And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

- And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

THE RAPTURE IS REAL AND IMMINENT

PASTOR CHRIS

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed (1 Corinthians 15:51).

Some say they don’t believe in the Rapture of the Church. But does their unbelief change anything? No! Truth isn’t established by opinion; it’s established by the Word. Whether one believes it or not, the Word of God is clear: the Rapture will happen, and very soon for that matter.

The Apostle Paul calls it a mystery: 1 Corinthians 15:52, “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” Not everyone will die, but all will be changed. The dead in Christ will be raised first, and those who are alive will be transformed.

Paul explains further in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” The underlined expression, “caught up” is where the term “rapture” comes from.

You may not find the word “rapture” in the Bible but you find its meaning clearly revealed. We’ll be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Consider also the expression, “…them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him” (1 Thessalonians 4:14). Those who have died in Christ are not lost; they will be part of this glorious event.

This is not a new idea or a false hope; it’s foundational to the Christian faith. Paul makes it clear that if the dead do not rise, then our faith is in vain (1 Corinthians 15:17-19). But Christ is risen, and because He lives, this hope is certain. Don’t be moved by contrary opinions or swayed by those who deny the reality of the Rapture. The Lord Jesus isn’t only coming again; He’s coming soon.

Any time now, the trumpet will sound. The voice of the archangel will be heard. And we shall be caught up. This is our blessed hope. Have the Rapture in view; prepare yourself and rejoice in the certainty of its imminence.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the certainty of your Word. My heart rejoices at the truth of Christ’s imminent return. Therefore, I live with expectation, faith and readiness, knowing that I’ll be caught up to meet Him in the air. I remain steadfast, unshaken and full of joy, living for you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Titus 2:13 KJV
- Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

‭‭Philippians 3:20-21 KJV
- For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 - Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

‭‭1 Corinthians 15:17-20 KJV
- And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
18 - Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
19 - If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 - But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

AN IMPORTANT LESSON IN SOUL WINNING

PASTOR CHRIS

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).

Sometimes, when you tell people to win souls, their minds go straight to someone they already know, perhaps a neighbour, flatmate or roommate, a friend, co-worker or relative. The same person they’ve been witnessing to for years but hasn’t responded. So, whenever soul winning is mentioned, that’s where their thoughts go.

While that may be okay, you need to understand something more about how soul winning works. Those closest to you often don’t need repeated persuasion. Your life already speaks to them. The Lord didn’t say keep talking until they see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Rather, He said let your light so shine, referring to your Christian conduct and character, your walk in the Word. These already communicate Christ to them.

Therefore, don’t turn evangelism into endless arguments or repeated explanations with the same individuals. But more importantly, pray for them. Live the Word before them. Let your Christ-like life be the evidence. They’ll observe, reflect, and someday be ready to seek answers. At such a time, a simple explanation would be all they need.

But as long as they keep resisting and arguing with you, reach out to other people. Don’t allow familiarity to limit your reach. There are many who haven’t heard, many who are ready, many beyond your immediate circle, who will receive the Gospel when you speak. Reach out to those ones. Share the Gospel with those who are open and willing.

Sometimes, the adversary uses the same resistant individuals as a distraction, keeping you occupied while others who are ready remain unreached. Don’t fall into that trap. Be led by wisdom. Be intentional. Shine where you are, but go where the Spirit leads you.

CONFESSION

I’m guided by the wisdom of God to be effective in soul winning. My light shines everywhere, and those in my world see my Christ-life and glorify God. My life is a testimony of God’s truth, glory and righteousness, and through me, many are brought into salvation today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Proverbs 11:30 KJV
- The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

‭‭Mark 16:15 KJV
- And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Luke 10:1-6 KJV
- After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
2 - Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 - Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
4 - Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5 - And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
6 - And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
