THE SOVEREIGN GOD
Memorise: But our God is in the heavens:
he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Psalm 115:3
Read: 1st Samuel 2:27-30,
Bible in one year: Jeremiah 48:1-49:22, Acts 25:13-27
God is sovereign! He possesses ultimate
power and exercises supreme authority over an ultimate territory. Psalm 135:6
explains that God is able to do as He pleases in heaven and on earth. Luke 1:37
says that with God, nothing shall be impossible, and Daniel 4:35 says that He
is unquestionable; no one can restrain Him.
It is very important to realise that God
cannot be successfully opposed (Job 9:12, Isaiah 43:13). He is the Lord of
heaven and earth. 1 Timothy 6:15 calls Him the only Potentate, the King of
kings and the Lord of lords. He reigns supreme and His kingdom is forever
(Psalm 29:10). God’s sovereignty extends over all things. He is sovereign over
creation because He created all things for His own pleasure (Revelation 4:11).
He is sovereign over human life and over even the minutest details of life –
for example, He said the very hairs of our
head are all numbered (Matthew 10:30). He is sovereign over world history and
governments. In proverbs 21:1, He said the king’s heart is in His hands. Daniel
4:17 also affairs that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and He gives
it to whomsoever He pleases.
The sovereign God is completely in
control of the life and salvation of His chosen people, as well as everything
concerning believers. As a matter of fact, because Satan and his demons are
part of the created order, they are also subject to the authority of the Most
High God. Consequently, God is sovereign over Satan, gods, demonic forces,
principles and powers in high places, etc. that is why Colossians 1:16 says
that:
“For
by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth,
visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things are created by him, and for him:”
God deserves our worship and adoration,
He is worthy of all glory, honour, and praise. He is greater that the greatest,
yet He is full of love and mercy. All power in heaven and on earth belongs to
Him. Lift Him up high. Magnify and bless His holy Name forevermore.
Action Point
Worship the sovereign God and sing
praises to His holy Name throughout the day. As you do this, His divine
presence will become manifest in your life in Jesus’ Name.
