Every Knee Shall Bow
Good morning
Scripture reading: Philippians 2:9-13
Worship song: Bow Down and Worship Him
Meditation:
The scripture says that God highly esteemed Jesus and gave him a name that is high above every other name, that at the mention of the name Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Bowing down before God and confessing that the Lord God Omnipotent reigns is ordained by God; it cannot be reversed. We were created to worship, glorify, and exalt God. All people, rich or poor, Jews or Gentiles, regardless of their current belief, religion, gender, race, language, color, or culture, will one day acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and King, submitting to his authority and power.
That day is coming, unlike any
other day when every atheist, unbeliever, idol worshipper, and everyone who
refused to surrender to the sovereign Lord will acknowledge his authority,
lordship, dominion power, and sovereignty over all creation. As I live, says
the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”
(Rom. 14:11). No one will be exempt; even those who opposed God will recognize
his authority and pledge allegiance to the Lord God Most High.
Let us pray:
Sovereign God, name above all names, we bow before you, acknowledging your power and authority. Lord, we confess with our mouths and believe with our hearts that at the mention of your name, every knee shall bow to your lordship. Father, I pray while we recognize that you are King that we will live transformed lives, fully submitted to the truth that Jesus Christ is Lord. Savior divine, quiet our souls, bring us to our knees, and rid us of self because we belong to you, Lord. Heavenly Father, we surrender our lives and declare your sovereignty over our lives, recognizing and acknowledging that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, by your power and for your glory in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Indeed. Every knee shall bow. No one should refuse to acknowledge the all mighty God for giving life and preserving it. God could have force us to do so but He did not. He give humanity the option. The choice is for everyone.
