The Lordship Of Love
The word which God sent unto the children of
Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord
of all:) (Acts 10:36).
When you declared Jesus Christ as Lord of
your life, He became your Master. Lord
means master, possessor or owner. Some Christians
don’t seem to realize this; they think Jesus is there to
answer their prayers and give them whatever they
want. They haven’t known Him as Lord. He being the
Lord of your life means you exist for Him; He’s the
One in charge of your life.
The beautiful thing about it is that He’s not a tyrant;
so, He doesn’t try to run your life or infringe on your
will. He’s Lord over you in love. The Lordship of Jesus
Christ is the Lordship of love. It means submitting
yourself to love; the loving power of God. Remember,
He’s love. So, when Jesus became the Lord of your
life, “Love” became the Lord of your life.
There’s no selfishness about Jesus; He’s God’s love
personified and expressed to man. He’s the living love
of God manifested to us. You don’t love yourself as
much as “Love” loves you; He’s more ambitious for
your success than you could ever be for yourself. When
this becomes your consciousness, all your struggles
will be over.
Jesus loves you more than you could ever imagine.
He’s more willing and concerned for your happiness,
peace, and joy, than you could ever be for yourself.
He knows all the gifts that you want in your life and
every good thing you want for yourself, and He desires
even more for you. Serve Him with all your heart. Trust
Him with your life. Not only does He know everything
about you, He knows everything about your future.
Without Him, there’s no future for you.
Put yourself into His guiding arms and let Him
lead you. Submit to the supremacy of His will, counsel
and wisdom, for He loves you with an everlasting love.
Hallelujah!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the Lordship of Jesus over my life; the
lordship of His love. I cast myself into your loving arms, trusting
you to lead and guide me in your perfect will for my life. I walk the
path of success and victory only, because Jesus is Lord of my life,
my mind, body, finances and all that concerns me;
He’s my master, lover, and friend. Glory to His Name forever.
