Text: Daniel 4:34-35
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Another way God is mentioned in the Bible is Adonai. In most English translations of the Bible it is translated as “Lord” with lower case letters, as different from the name Jehovah (Yahweh) written as “LORD” with all capital letters. It is a way of acknowledging God as the Ruler and Sovereign Master over our lives.
He is the unquestionable God. His dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to generation. All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: “What have you done?” -Daniel 4:34-35
Without Him we can do nothing. Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain- Psalm 127:1.
In John 15:5, Jesus said, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
To accept the lordship of Jesus Christ is to come under His management and daily submit to His will. It is to yield to the control and promptings of the Holy Spirit in our day–to-day activities. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, are the sons of God.-Romans 8:14.
The Spirit of God and His word agree. You cannot claim to be led by the Spirit of God and be living in disobedience to His word. Therefore, to be led by the Spirit of God is to daily live in obedience to God’s word. Submit yourself, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
Prayer Nugget: Adonai, I surrender to your will for the rest of my life in Jesus name.
