Sovereignty of God

Our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased – Psalm 115:3

To say that God is sovereign is just another way of saying that God is God. God has the right to do as He pleases. He is in charge, He is working His will and accomplishing His purposes.

Recognizing the truth of sovereignty gives us the right view of the character of God. He has power over all (Psalm 99:1). He is holy and just (Isaiah 6:1-7). All things are for His glory (Revelation 4:11). God is not frustrated or disappointed, as He is sometimes represented, but is working all things after the counsel of His own will (Ephesians 1:11).

This truth provides a great sense of security and hope for His people. They see that no vicious enemy, no catastrophic event, no unexpected trial can affect God’s sovereign reign. As Psalm 46 declares, even if the earth was removed or the mountains carried into the sea, God is a refuge for His people. And they are further assured that what may be a long night of affliction can be turned into brightness as the heavenly Father teaches His children in their time of trouble.

God’s sovereignty gives assurance in salvation. We see that human merit or mere human choice is not the basis of salvation; rather, it is all of grace originating with God’s choice, being based on the death of His Son, and ultimately consummated because of His effectual work.

What peace comes by resting our case in the hands of Jesus, knowing He is King of kings and Lord of lords. Understanding the truth of sovereignty will evoke praise to His great name because we recognize all glory belongs to Him. Our God is in the heavens!

PRAYER: For we ought to always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant us a spirit of wisdom and revelation of insight into mysteries and secrets in the deep and intimate knowledge of Him. KNOWLEDGE TO SEE GOD’s EXPECTED END OF US: This depth of knowledge comes by having the eyes of our heart flooded with light, so that we can know and understand the hope to which He has called you and i and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (we, His set-apart ones). CONTINUOUSLY RELEASED POWER TO ‘BURN’ THROUGH: The intent of this is that we can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His POWER in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength. This power is available to help us burn through, bear through and breakthrough every obstacle in our path towards the fulfilling His divine intent for our individual lives. PROPER ALIGNMENT TO MAKE THE POWER INCIDENT: Individually, we must re-position and re-locate ourselves spiritually to be able to positively, productively and optimally benefit from this unending release of immense power from our Father, to work for us. We must re-align our thoughts and confession to the fact that He is JUST, HOLY and LOVING, period! Bow down before Him the assurance of mind that His thoughts towards you and I are thoughts of peace and not evil. WHAT HE DOES: He exert His power in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named above every title that can be conferred, not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come. THE ‘ULTIMAX’: He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church a headship exercised throughout the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself.

THE CONFESSION: DAMN THE HINDRANCES AND DISTRACTIONS, I AM IRREMOVABLY PART OF HIS BODY! Glory! I am moving ahead in God towards ‘entering THE JOY’ of my God, Amen!
