TOPIC: He’s Above All (Rhapsody of Realities 23 January 2024)

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and earth (Matthew 28:18).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

The word translated as “power” above is the Greek “Exousia,” which means authority. In this pivotal statement, the Lord affirmed His dominion in heaven and the earth.

Since Jesus wields all authority on the earth, that automatically means the nations of the world, which are on the planet, are all under His authority. No wonder the Bible says Jesus is seated in the heavenly realms, “high above all other government and authority and power and dominion, and every title of sovereignty used either in this Age or the Age to come” (Ephesians 1:21 WNT).

Guess what? His authority over everything is for our benefit: “…Christ rules over all forces, authorities, powers, and rulers. He rules over all beings and will also rule in the future. God has put all things under the power of Christ, and for the good of the Church, he has made him the head of everything” (Ephesians 1:21-22 CEV). This is so sublime.

Right after He declared in Matthew 28:18 that all authority was given to Him in heaven and earth, He charged us in the next verse to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations….” Based on His authority, He sent us to take His message to the nations—to every man’s world.

Can you see why government after government, kingdom after kingdom, tyrants, despots, and dictators have tried throughout the age to annihilate the Church but failed? Can you see why nothing, no one, no force or entity would ever be able to destroy the Church? Only One has authority over all things in heaven and earth; His Name is Jesus. He rules over all. He’s “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…” (Ephesians 1:21-22 MSG). Hallelujah!

CONFESSION

The Lord Jesus reigns and rules over all things: forces, authorities, powers, and rulers. He rules over all beings, and I’m one with Him. I’m His seed, prolonging His days. Hallelujah!
