“The Lord Shall Reign Forever”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 146

The Lord reigns in Heaven and earth forever.

Philippians 2:9-10 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.”

Today, the Lord is not only reigning in Heaven and earth but in us, forever.

Because the Lord reigns in us, sickness cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us. Depression cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us, worry cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us, fear cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us, pain cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us, poverty cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us, sin cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us, unbelief cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us, doubt cannot reign in us.
Because the Lord reigns in us, death cannot reign in us.


The Psalmist declares, the Lord reigns.

Let’s read:

Psalm 146:1-5 “Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul. [2] While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. [3] Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. [4] His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. [5] Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God.”

Man does not leave this earth with his plans and programs. The only thing we take with us through the shadow of death is our faith. Is the Lord reigning in us.

Happy is the man or woman in whose heart the Lord reigns.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 146:6-8 “Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever: [7] Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners: [8] The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:”

The Lord reigns in us, to open the eyes of the blind, to relief the oppressed of the devil, to deliver the captives of sin and doubt, to father the fatherless, mother the motherless, and bring faith to the unbeliever.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 146:9-10 “The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. [10] The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.”

The Lord reigns in Heaven, Earth, and in our hearts forever.

Let the Lord come and reign in your heart. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Lord as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. He reigns over every problem, in Christ!
