6/9/09           THE RULERSHIP OF THE LORD         

 Scripture – Revelation 11:15 “…The Kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ and He shall reign forever.”

 Observation – The day is coming when all who reign as leaders of nations and every self-ruling Kingdom will be submitted to the rule of the Lord. From that time of the Lord and His people will reign forever. Then justice, love, righteousness and peace will reign over all. Mankind, without God, will have reigned and demonstrated their failure to rule without God. All will be so wonderful under His rulership. And it appears that we will reign and rule with Him.

 Application – Perhaps during the time of the ‘rule of man’ (under Satan) we will have been thoroughly convinced of the failure and deadly results of such governments. We will be more than ready for Him to reign forever. Right now we are being trained for that time. We are being tutored in the lesson of rulership. Even within the church at present we have so much to learn about leadership and ruling.

 Prayer – Teach us our ways well, Lord. Help me to prepare others to rule and reign His way. Only His way. Show me your ways Lord.
