Throughout this month's Bible Studies we have seen that to “exalt” the Messiah as Lord in our lives we have to be purposeful (intentional and deliberate) and that it requires us to be submissive to His word and will. We also saw that Jesus is Lord because God Himself MADE Him Lord (Acts 2:36). We also looked at how our “confessing Jesus is Lord” is not just a one time thing as a part of being saved but is something that we are going to be placed in positions to do before men (Luke 12:4-12). And that we should seize those moments. Also how these moments could in fact be moments that cause Jesus to dispatch the angels of God to move on our behalf and serve us (Hebrews 1:14).
As we continue to “exalt the Messiah Jesus as Lord in our lives, let's take a moment to chart our current state of our lives in this area. 1 Peter 3:15 says, “Instead, exalt the Messiah/the Christ as Lord in our lives so we know that there is an alternative. In their case, it was fear and specifically the fear of men. In our case it could be that or many other things or people. Therefore, take some time to honestly assess whom you have given L(l)ordship in your life to; be it our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ or someone or something else.
1 Corinthians 8:6…
“For us,
the believer,
the Christian
there is ONLY one Lord
-there can ONLY be one Lord
And that’s Jesus the Messiah."

We cannot divvy up our lives and say “I give Jesus the Messiah Lordship in this area and I give lordship of this and that area to this and that for their power, authority or influence. -DTM
There can ONLY be one Lord in our lives.
Jesus Christ is that one and only Lord.
