KNOWING JESUS 6 (IN ALL THINGS HAVE PREEMINENCE)

The word preeminence is mentioned three times in the bible viz: Ecclesiastes 3:19,Colosian 1:18(our text today),3 John 1:9 and has quite a number of meaning but the one that best suits this study is superior in rank to all things. Our Lord and saviour is indeed superior to all things but we will just study five summary of all things as inspired.  

Sea: Jesus did not only walk on the sea as recorded in Matt 14:25 which says and in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them walking on the sea. He commanded it and it obeyed Mark 4:39 says and he arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, peace be still and the wind ceased and there was a great calm. He has preeminence over sea and by extension nature and will tilt it to work in our favour. Rom 8:28 says and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose. 

Sin: John 14:30 says hereafter I will not talk much with you for the prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in me. Satan whose property, product and nature is sin scanned the lord and found nothing .1John 3:8a says he that committeth sin is of the devil for the devil sinneth from the beginning. Remove yourself from the shackles of the devil today by running to Jesus for power over sin. 

Sickness: Luke 7:10 says and they that were sent, returning to the house found the servant whole that had been sick. This happened by His spoken words underscoring Psalm 107:20 which says He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions. He had and still has preeminence over sicknesses halleluyah.

Satan: life is spiritual, this is more true because the spirit controls the physical, and God is spirit John 4: 24a.The encounter recorded in Luke 4:1-13 and matt 4:1-11 amongst other records and referred to as temptation was entirely a spiritual exercise and the outcome was a usual defeat of the devil. Jesus defeated is defeating and will continue to defeat till the last and final battle as detailed in Rev 19:7-21 halleluyah.  

Severance from the body(death): Luke 7:14-15 says and He came and touched the bier, and they that bare him stood still and he said, young man, I say unto thee, arise and he that was dead sat up and began to speak and he delivered him to his mother. John 11:43-44a and when he thus had spoken he cried with a loud voice Lazarus come forth.44a and he that was dead came forth. Our master demonstrated severally during his earthly ministry his dominion over death he even said of himself in John 2:19 which says Jesus answered and said unto them destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. This he did as evidenced in John 20:17 says Jesus saith unto her touch me not for I am not yet ascended unto my father and your father and to my God and your God. These were his words after he rebuilt the temple after three days as he promised. Are you dead or dieing spiritually being separated from God you need the gospel of Jesus Christ. Is /are there any good thing dead in your life the solution is Jesus, is the devil threatening your physical existence Jesus is the mega antidote, he is knocking waiting on you Rev 3:20a says behold I stand at the door and knock. Open unto Him and you will be glad you did.
