'...No
one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.' 1 Corinthians 12:3
NKJV
The Benefits of Making Jesus 'Lord'
Making Jesus 'Lord' of your life means that He must
have the first and last word in all things which concern you. It means you are
called to walk with Him, to prove yourself valuable to Him, to please Him and
do what He wants, when He wants it, and in the way He wants it done. Here are
three great benefits that come from putting Jesus behind the wheel and making
Him 'Lord'. (1) When you don't know what to say, He will tell you. 'The
Sovereign Lord has given Me His words of wisdom, so that I may know how to comfort
the weary. Morning by morning He wakens Me and opens My understanding to His
will. The Sovereign Lord has spoken to Me, and I have listened. I have not
rebelled or turned away.' (Isaiah 50:4-5 NLT) (2) When you can't defend
yourself, He will fight for you. '...The Lord is my fortress, protecting me
from danger, so why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me...they
will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be
afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.' (Psalm 27:1-3 NLT) (3)
When the burden feels too heavy, He will carry it for you. 'Give your burdens
to the Lord, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip
and fall.' (Psalm 55:22 NLT) And these three benefits are yours when you make
Jesus 'Lord' over every area of your life.
