GOD is ALL RULE, POWER and AUTHORITY.
“God hath spoken once; twice
have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God” (Psalm 62:11).
God has given his only
begotten Son Jesus, all power in heaven and earth to destroy the works of the
devil (Matthew 28:18).
“For he must reign, till he
hath put all enemies under his feet. [THE LAST ENEMY THAT SHALL BE DESTROYED IS
DEATH]” (1 Corinthians 15:26).
At the beginning of time,
Lucifer, the once anointed cherub, the prince of this world, the devil, aka Satan
tried to usurp the power, authority and rule of God when he lied to Adam and
Eve (Genesis 3:2–3).
“For we know that the whole
creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now” (Romans 8:22).
“For the devil sinneth from
the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might
destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8).
The Devil believed that in
putting Jesus to death, he would continue to have power over death. However,
this was God’s plan to finally destroy death, with the promise of eternal life
through his only begotten Son (John 3:16-18, 10:17–18, 14:6).
“For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then
cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the
Father; [WHEN HE SHALL HAVE PUT DOWN ALL RULE AND ALL AUTHORITY AND POWER]. For
he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that
shall be destroyed is death” (1 Corinthians 15:22-26).
Every day let us live in
faith, hope and patience even as Paul encouraged us, saying: “For I reckon that
the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).
“Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work
of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord”
(1 Corinthians 15:58).
