You have answered the call to purity. You have allowed me to expose and burn away the parts of you that did not honour me. You have understood what it means to fear me – to acknowledge my greatness and the weight of my glory. You have counted the cost.
And now….
Now is the time for reverence. To put me in my rightful place above all.
As we enter a season of uncertainty in the structures that men have built in the nations, I
am requiring of you to throw off your old affiliations and to place me above all.
For I am above ALL nations, kingdoms, thrones, powers and dominions.
Elevate me above your own thinking, elevate me above your own agenda, elevate me above
generational ties and tradition. Speak my name over your home, your region and your nation.
Recognise my authority over all of these things. Revere me, and me alone.
For when I am above all, when I rule and reign from my rightful place, you are removing your own agendas and are creating the space for me to establish my Kingdom upon the earth in power.
Activation: Ask the Lord to draw your attention to any areas of your thinking or belief system where he is not above all. Repent, and speak the words of the Lord’s prayer out loud – declaring that the kingdom, power and glory belong to him. Establish his reign in your life, that he is above all.
1 Chronicles 15:25-30 (NIV)
For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendour and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his dwelling place. Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him. Worship the Lord in the splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
Matthew 6:9-13 (NKJV)
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
