The Lord of the Universe

UV 1031/10,000 The Lord of the Universe He is the sole expression of the glory of God, and He is the perfect imprint and very image of God’s nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. Hebrews 1 v 3 Jesus is the perfect translation of God for the complete transformation of man. Usually, when a language is translated there is some loss of meaning or power. But Jesus bore the complete DNA of God. He is the very image of God. Nothing about God was distorted, deleted or added to in His person. He created, upholds, maintains, guides and propels the universe by His sovereign, mighty, unquestionable and undoubted word of power. He set in place all the laws of the universe. This is the reason I have undertaken the task of analysing the Word, verse by verse to discover and illustrate the laws, precepts, principles and promises of God that govern the larger universe as well as the little universe or the circle of control and influence of our own lives. He upholds our lives, our families by His word of power. He maintains, guides and propels us, our work, our relationships by His Word. It is the same mighty word that brought Him back to life after having been nailed and left to die on the cross. That power is sovereign and above all angels, saints, spirits, principalities, kingdoms, princes, titles, positions and persons. We have access to this very same power to sustain us as we have been declared righteous and holy by the attribution of faith in the perfect sacrifice that cleanses us of our sins and rids us of our guilt. Jesus now sits at the right hand of God’s throne. He rules over both heaven and earth, the invisible world as well as the visible universe. Each uni-verse is a slice of His eternal power. As we take it in, we will have access to that power. We will be filled with a greater and greater measure of His grace, truth and majesty. He invites us in turn to take our place on thrones beside Him. We are the expression of the glory and love of God in this day, age and time. As we hold His Word in our hearts and minds, it offers the Lord ways in which He will reveal His power, majesty and glory to others and His love to us. Without His Word and His power, it would not be possible to be effective leaders or wise managers or successful people. He sustains us. He guides us. He propels us on the trajectory we should take. People are questioning in their minds about how the Malaysian airlines aircraft with more than 270 crew and passengers just disappeared and had not been tracked so far. Just a few days back, a believer from Australia met me and recounted how his daughter had a dream of the aircraft she and her friend were to travel in had caught fire. He prayed with them and asked them to take the flight. While airborne from Adelaide, one of the engines of the Tiger airlines aircraft caught fire but by the mighty word of Jesus, the flight returned and landed safely. The word of Christ and faith in it had made a difference between absolute disaster and absolute salvation. Prateep V Philip
