THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS LORDSHIP
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32).
Now that you’re in Christ, it’s a new life altogether, a life under the lordship of Jesus. Yet, many Christians are not fully conscious of His lordship in their everyday life. When you say Jesus Christ is Lord of your life, it means that His Word has become the supreme authority in your life.
The lordship of Christ is expressed first in the lordship of His Word. You cannot function in His lordship without submitting to the authority of His Word. That Word is described in Scripture as “the Word of His grace”; that’s what builds you up in life, strengthens you, and establishes you in the inheritance that belongs to you in Christ.
This is why you can’t afford to be in just any place, listening to just anything. The Word of His grace reveals Christ, unveils His finished work, and imparts faith, boldness and the consciousness of your inheritance. That’s what empowers you to function effectively in the lordship of Jesus. So, make up your mind to live perpetually under the authority of the Word. The more you submit to the Word, the more you’ll function in the consciousness of His lordship for His glory to be revealed in your life in ever-increasing
measure.
CONFESSION
I’m fully yielded to the authority of God’s Word, the Word of His grace that builds me, strengthens me, and positions me in my inheritance in Christ. I’m growing, making progress, and manifesting the glory of God in ever-increasing measure because I’m a doer of the Word. The Word of God is my life and my all. Hallelujah!
If you’re blessed by this devotional, believing every word you heard by faith in your heart, and would love to make Jesus the lord of your life, then speak the confessions below out loud, and mean them with your heart:
“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”

Colossians 3:16 (KJV)
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
James 1:21 (KJV)
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
James 1:22–25 (KJV)
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
