All God's!

All God's!

Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. 1 Chronicles 29:11 KJV

All that my eyes see, or mind conceives belong to God. All that the world claims as its own belong to God. The world also wants to be reckoned with; the prince of this world, the devil, made a claim to the wealth and riches and power of this world during the temptation of Jesus. It is therefore no surprise that till today, the world keeps claiming it also has power. However, there is power and there is POWER, the type you can only associate with the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

Possession in nine-tenths of the law; the law assumes that anyone in possession of a thing is the owner unless and until evidence to the contrary is proved. If God claims ownership of all power, who can question that claim? For all who have experienced both sides of the spectrum, you will have no doubt as to who has the ultimate power.

A kingdom is the symbol of authority and rulership. It defines a territory and a person in charge of that territory. God is the King over all the kingdoms of the earth. Whoever exercises 'temporary' power had better be careful how it is exercised, as an account will be demanded by the Authority over heaven and earth. It is called THE kingdom, to show that there is just one and no other can be referred to by that name.

In light of all these, the most important question is this: which kingdom do you answer to? Where does your allegiance lie? Don't forget: there is an eternal consequence to your response. At the end of time, every knee WILL bow, either by choice or compulsion, to the King of kings. Do it with joy now. His time of favour is here.
