Day 3: Christ the Lord: Surrendered Rule and Strong Protection

He didn’t arrive with a limousine or fanfare; He came lowly, yet He is Lord—God in human form, anointed to reign. When Christ is Lord, you don’t have to be your own defender; He cancels the charges, disarms the enemy, and stands you up in front of your haters. Don’t let your worship go stale—fresh mercies call for a fresh praise. If you’ve been bullied by the devil, remember who speaks over your life: “No weapon formed shall prosper.” Let His rule cover you, guide you, and fight for you.

Colossians 2:13–15 — When you were dead in your sins, God made you alive with Christ and forgave every wrong. He erased the record that stood against you by nailing it to the cross. He stripped spiritual rulers and powers of their weapons and put them on display, triumphing over them through the cross.

Reflection: What is one situation where you will stop striving to control the outcome and invite Jesus’ authority to cover and protect you this week?
