The Lordship of Christ

Philippians  2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:  2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;  2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

 "LORD" means one with supreme authority and power. Lordship is inseparably linked to the name of Jesus. Apostle  Paul said, “Therefore God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” ( Philippians 2:9-11).

 Jesus came from heaven to earth, contracted Himself to the measure of a virgin’s womb, was born in Bethlehem, lived a perfect life and died on a cross an atoning sacrificial death, was buried in a tomb and was raised victoriously, and ascended into heaven to occupy His throne in Glory where God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name.

Lordship was at the very heart of Jesus’ redemptive work on the cross. Paul makes this point clear in Romans 14:8-9: “For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. For to this end Christ died, and rose and lived again, that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living.

For Jesus to be Lord of your life means that He is the ruler, the boss, the master of your whole life. He cannot be Lord of a part, He must be given control of the entire life – the whole life.

 for Jesus Christ to be Lord of his or her life, you must  yield your life to Him. This involves taking your hands off the controls of your life and allowing Him to be in control.

We are not our own. We were bought at a price. We belong to Jesus. We are His purchased possession. When a person yields to the lordship of Jesus Christ, he or she acknowledges His ownership and gives up his or her personal rights.

Yielding to the lordship of Jesus Christ also involves total and unreserved obedience. If He is the Lord of your life, you are going to do what He tells you to do.

The question is, is Jesus Christ Lord over your life?, if there is still anything Christ cannot control in your life, it means He's not Lord over your life.

Declaring Him as Lord and saviour is not enough to surrendering our life totally to Him and letting Him take full and perfect control of it

You cannot enjoy the full benefits of Christ's lordship which are eternal life, safety, guidance, protection, holy spirit, etc if you do not unreservedly give your life to Him.

He is Lord over all, give Him the full control over your life, you won't regret it.

God bless you.
