THE SOVEREIGNTY OF CHRIST AS LORD
Acts 2:36; John 17:2, 3; Matthew 21:1-3; Romans 14:8, 9; 2 Corithians 5:14, 15; Philippians 2:5, 11.

By virtue of Christ's death on the cross for the whole world, God made Him the Prince, Lord and Ruler over everyone. Christ did not sn**ch or attribute this sovereignty to Himself; God crowned both Lord and Christ. If we are going to honour Christ , He must reign over everything in us. He will not accept partial Lordship. We must not keep back any area of our lives but we must yield all to Him . We must surrender everything to Him so that He can reign over us.
New converts to Christ must realise that their lives no longer belong to them.The simple act of repentance, confession and surrender to Christ, turns over our lives to Him. We cannot control our lives anymore. Christ now has the right to exercise dominion and authority over us. He is King over all. He has need of our lives.
Before we knew the Lord, we were roaming about, tied and bound to some habits. We were limited and constrained by sin. We were also tied to some sicknesses and infirmities. But when the Word of God came, we were loosed from our chains that we might be given wholly to Christ. Those who come to Christian meetings and are loosed from their sins and infirmities should understand why the Lord did it: that He might reign over them. Everything within, without and around us belongs to Christ. We must realise that we do not belong to ourselves anymore. Whether we live or die we belong to the Lord. Death opens the curtain for our transfer into the presence of God.
We are also the possession of the Lord because He purchased and redeemed us. Whatever situation we find ourselves, we must remember that we are not to live for ourselves. We cannot receive Him as saviour without making Him the Lord of our lives. No area of lives should be shielded from him. Your actions, minds, thoughts, dispositions, desires, manners, tastes, should be given to Him. Self must not have dominion over you but must be crucified. Hd must control your life, marriage, business etc.
As servants of Christ we should not seek to please the Father in all things. If Christ, the King of glory, the Masters of angels humbled Himself, what are we doing with pride? There should not be any area of our lives that we have not surrendered to Christ. Our lives will be beautiful as we yield totally to the Lord.

GENUINE CHRISTIANITY AND THE LORDSHIP OF CHRIST ( Rom 14: 9, Phil 2:11 .)
The basic reason for Christianity is to crown Jesus as Lord. Genuine Christianity, whether in an individual, a local church, a denomination or in the world, is one wholly built on and entirely devoted to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church is built on Christ the Chief Cornerstone. The message of the true Christian faith centres on Him, His eternality, virgin birth, spotless life, death, burial and resurrection, ascension to heaven, intercession for the saints, second coming, millennial reign, eternal kingdom and dominion. A message and a life centred on Christ, reflects true Christianity.
The Lordship of Christ is very central to the Christian life . When we are born again our sins are forgiven, we surrender our lives to Him as Saviour and Controller of our lives . He assumes the position of Lord, Ruler, Master, Teacher, Guide and Leader. Every time, we confess and proclaim Him as Lord. When we submit to the Lordship of Christ and accept Him as One that has dominion over our lives, decisions and ambitions, we know we are practising true Christianity. We must give and surrender everything into His hand.

HE PAID THE PRICE...
All of us are slaves of something maybe it's our peers, maybe it's lust, maybe it's money. The bible says in 2peter 2:19 "You are a slave to whatever controls you". Based on this definition alone, all of us are slaves to something.
We don't have to let anything enslave us, though the bible says Jesus bought our freedom. "He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone" (1 Tim 2:16a).
The Greek word for redemption actually refers to slaves were purchased in a market place. In a spiritual sense, all of us were slaves to sin until Jesus purchased us out of the slave market and set us free from sin's bo***ge.

Let me give you a picture of what Jesus death on the cross did to purchase our freedom. Imagine you're in a busy market place with a lot of commerce going on. In the centre of the market place, you're in the middle of an auction, where you are being bid on. As each successive bid is shouted out, you look in the eyes of those who are bidding on you and try to size them up.
Are they kind or cruel? Just as the auction is winding down, stranger from the crowd stands up and offers a thousand times higher than anyone else's bid. As the auctioneer hastily accepts it, you look into the stranger's eyes and realise he isn't bidding on you to use you, like a slave. He's buying you in order to set you free.

That's just what Jesus did for you, He paid your price to set you free. The price for your freedom was so high, you could never pay it but he paid for you. Even if you're a follower of Jesus, you may not be living in that freedom. You may be subtly allowing yourself to be controlled by your desires, your relationships, your schedule, or your fears. Galatians 5:1 says "Freedom is what we have - Christ has set us free; stand, then as free people, and do not allow yourself to become slave again".

So many people spend their lives seeking significance and freedom on man-made, dead-end passes. Yet, here's the amazing truth: We can never redeem ourselves, we cannot pay God the price for our lives, because the payment for a human life is too great" (Psalm 49:7-8a).

The price for your freedom has already been paid, you've been bought. Are you living in that freedom?
* What kind of activities have you seen people embrace in their search for spiritual freedom and wholeness?
* Does your life appreciate Jesus in the way you live your life? If not surrender your life to Jesus now, tomorrow may be too late for you. Now is your chance to be saved, not tomorrow, the blood of Jesus is the only remedy you have. Ask Jesus to forgive you your sins. Ask Him to pardon you. He will show your mercy.
