The Sovereign God by VLadipo: 11:22am On Feb 20, 2015
God is sovereign! He possesses ultimate powers and exercises supreme authority over an unlimited 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 pleasure (Revelation 4:11). He is sovereign over human life and 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 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 subject to the authority of the Most High God. Consequently, God is sovereign over Satan, gods, demonic forces, principalities 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 were created by him, and for him:”

God deserves our worship and adoration, He is worthy of all glory, honour and praises. He is greater than 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.
Memorise:
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Psalm 115:3
Read:
1 Samuel 2:27-30
Bible in one year:
Jeremiah 48:1-49:22
Acts 25:13-27
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.
