He will manifest in His own time,
He who is the blessed and only Potentate,
the King of kings and Lord of lords.
Many in the world call Jesus Lord, but He is more; Jesus is Lord of Lords. A lord holds vast properties and assets. Jesus is Lord because He owns the world and rules the universe. A lord directs those under his rule. Jesus is Lord because He holds the destiny of all people in His hand. A lord is the absolute owner of all he surveys. Jesus is the Lord of everything because He created all things. Because He died for all people, all will one day bow to His rule. Because He will come in the future to judge all, you must be accountable to Him for how you live.
Lord, there are many who do not recognize Your rule in their lives, but I acknowledge You as my Lord. Teach me to adjust to Your rules. Let my submission be a testimony to others.
There are many lords in this world; they are called presidents, prime ministers, governors, mayors and billionaires. They rule empires. While they will not recognize the Lord’s rule on Earth nor will they rule according to His righteous laws, one day they will acknowledge Jesus as King of kings and Lord of Lords. Then every knee will bow, including theirs (Philippians 2:10-11).
Jesus, I know that You will rule everything in the future, but I am concerned about this day. Come take control of my heart, and be my Lord. Be glorified in all that I do and say. Amen.

Jesus will rule all things, so submit to Him today.
