Topic: Jesus Is Lord Of All
Text: Philippians 2:8-11
8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Key Verse: “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11).
Message
Stating that “Jesus is Lord’’ is in recognition of His divine standing or position. A lord is one who has power and authority over others. Jesus, being the Lord, is a ruler by hereditary right or pre-eminence to whom service and worship are due. Jesus has all the qualities and qualifications to be the Lord over your life. He is the Almighty God, King of kings, Prophet, Teacher, Judge, Advocate, Saviour, Redeemer, etc. He is everything to us. Tim keller said, “You don’t realise Jesus is all you need until all you have is Jesus.”

If Jesus is all you have, then you have all you need. Making Jesus all you have goes beyond mere professing of your love for Him. It entails genuine repentance and accepting His atonement as the only bridge to the Father. It means total surrendering of your life willingly and perpetually to Him. Make Jesus your Lord today and He will gladly grant you unlimited joy, peace, prosperity and power to reign over the devil and his cohorts.
Quote: Make Jesus Your Lord
Challenge: Jesus is the beginning of a meaningful life.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
