ALL THINGS UNDER CONTROL
For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. I Corinthians 15:27,28
These verses in I Corinthians speak of the reign and rule of Christ Jesus. He has been given dominion over the Kingdom of God. For it is God who chose His Son to rule, for He is worthy. All things will be put under His control. In fact, He works through you and He works through me to subdue and to conquer. He wants to lift up a standard in the earth, in every industry, in every nation, in every home. He wants every soul under his control. "Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die" (Ezekiel 18:4) It is not God's desire that any man perish, but that all come to repentance, as spoken in 2 Peter 3:9. God gives us a ministry of reconciliation, to bring the sinner out of sin, and into repentance, thus under the rule of Christ Jesus. For in Christ Jesus there is life forevermore.
Today, the Lord subdues.
