A Glimpse into Our Destiny of Greatness

UV3243/10000 A Glimpse into Our Destiny of Greatness
Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look closely, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and break its seven seals,”
Revelation 5 v 5

Jesus is described in this uni-verse as the Lion of Judah, the Root of David even though history records that He like David was born as a descendant of Judah, the eldest son of Jacob. He who is the root of David is also our good Root. As He has overcome and conquered sin and death and suffering, we too will overcome and conquer. He holds the key to our future and our eternity. He is possessed of complete knowledge, complete wisdom, complete power and complete love. As long as we are rooted and built in Him, we too have access to His complete knowledge, complete wisdom, complete power and complete love. God does not share His glory with anyone but He does share His greatness with us. Our destiny of greatness is not a distant dream but it accompanies us each moment of our lives as long as we stick to the Lord like leeches.

We need not weep, mourn, regret anything in our lives as Jesus as Lion of Judah has the power to reverse, restore, revive, redeem us. As we are continually connected to the Good Root through the Holy Spirit, the sap of His wisdom and knowledge and love is always rising in us, turning into the praiseworthy decisions, relationships, actions, results of our lives. As a member of Judah or praise, we offer all the praise, glory and honour to the Lord. He has declared us more than conquerors as we do not have to fight to conquer. We just need to be still, know that He is God and acknowledge and trust Him in all our ways. We are more than conquerors like King David or Alexander the Great as we do not have to marshall armies to conquer. We are more than conquerors as we do not suffer defeat or eternal death. We are more than conquerors as the weapons we carry give and enhance life and do not take away life or take away from life. Hence, we have many reasons to rejoice, as many as the moments we live, as many as our thoughts, as many as our days on Earth, as many as the promises of God in Christ.

A scroll in ancient days contained the decrees of the King. Till it was opened it remained secret and confidential. The Lord holds the seven scrolls or all that He has decreed for each of us individually as well as all of us collectively. He is sovereign and has the right and power to open the scroll of decree regarding our lives at the time of His choosing. We only need to submit to His royal decrees, His sovereign will knowing that He wants to give us hope in the present moment and a future in eternity.
