We, at one point in our lives as born again believers, did the most beneficial act we could ever do. We made Jesus Christ Lord in our lives and believed God raised Him from the dead (See Romans 10:9). That incredible statement of belief took us from eternal death to eternal life with our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
I did this for sure when I was 20 years old. Every day since then, by the freedom of my will, I continue to make Him Lord or not. Many days, I did not think about who is Lord in my life. I just lived my life taking care of myself.
Whenever I thought about my Heavenly Father and His Son and applied the renewed mind by putting off the old man and putting on the Christ in me, my life was rich and purposeful. I am challenged every day to make Him Lord in my life. Why not? The Heavenly Father sure put me first in giving His Son to accomplish my redemption through His shed blood.
I am a new creation in Christ. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation...” (ESV II Corinthians 5:17).
Every day we are challenged to make decisions on our priorities in life. Jesus Christ made us His priority, now why not make Him a priority in our lives every day. Why not choose to live for Him and make Him Lord in your life every day. The first time I did, I received eternal life! Why not continue living like that and benefit every day by making Him Lord.
How do I make Him Lord every day? A prayer in the morning recognizing His presence and Lordship is a good start. Speaking in tongues throughout the day, means you are thinking about Him and the Father. It says in I Corinthians 12:3:…” that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” Speaking by the spirit is speaking in tongues. Every time you speak in tongues it shows you have made Jesus Lord!
Who is Lord in your life today?
