“And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Eph 1:22-23 (NIV)
The supremacy of Christ is affirmed in Paul’s letter to the saints in Ephesus. God, the Creator and Sustainer of the entire universe, positioned Jesus as head of the church. He is in charge. All things are under His feet. Remember, anything over your head is beneath His feet.
“And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.” Col 1:18 (NIV)
Our function in the body is to manifest the Head. As His body, the church is to express the love of the Head. We are His dominion. We are made by Him and for His glory. As His dominion, we are under the control of His Lordship. Our desire is to please Him and to fulfill His agenda. He empowers us to live for His glory on the earth. May our obedience to Christ impact every Continent.
“Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, ‘The LORD reigns!'” 1 Chron 16:31 (NIV)
You are living under His dominion.
Pursuing God,
