The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
Beloved is it not surprising that both in the church world and among the worldlings without Christ, there exist two distinct groups of people.
1. Those that are following Christ and those that are fighting with Him.
2. Those that are wholeheartedly worshipping Him and those that are willfully warring with Him.
These two groups exists in the universal church of Christ and the reprobate worldlings.
Don’t jump to conclusions or point accusing fingers. Where do you belong?
Sincerely examine yourself.
Revelation 17:14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
There are facts and truths that are not contestable. They are beyond the comprehension and doings of the mortals.
Jesus shall reign forever and ever. But whether He shall reign over your own life, is exclusively your decision.
But I am persuaded that He shall reign over your life, because you are already ordained to reign with Him forever. It shall be so in Jesus name.
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
Beloved, as certainly and assuredly affirmed that out Lord shall reign forever, so also is your reigning with Him forever established.
However, your own reigning with Him is completely and absolutely dependent on your preparedness and willingness to align with the requisites.
The good Lord shall help you in particular in Jesus name.
See it by virtue of your biblical redemption or new birth, you are a king destined to reign and you shall reign in Jesus name.
Rev 1:5 — Rev 1:6 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Rev 5:9 — Rev 5:10 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Rev 20:4 — Rev 20:6 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
But then see what shall make multitude in the church world globally apart from you in particular, miss out or hindered from being part of the eternal reigning of our Lord.
This shall not be your portion in Jesus name. But then examine yourself and make immediate amendments should you discover that you are presently defaulting.
John 13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
The blessed Holy Spirit reveals from the scriptures of unfailing and unchanging truth, lifestyle of those believers, where Jesus is not reigning as Lord.
Please be sincere to examine yourself.
1. They don’t do His words.
Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Jer 44:16 — Jer 44:17 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
Ezk 33:30 — Ezk 33:33 Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
2. Saying not so Lord. If in deed Jesus is Lord over your life. You must never ever at any time say to Him, not so Lord, but must always joyfully and willingly submit to His revealed truth from the scriptures.
Acts 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
Rom 10:3 — Rom 10:4 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Jam 4:6 — Jam 4:7 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
3. When you choose the pathway of apostate churches and you rejected old time religion of obeying the Bible. He is no more reigning in your life.
1Sa 8:4 — 1Sa 8:8 Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord. And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
4. When you prefer to worship in the Kings chapel because of your itching ears. You don’t want to hear the totality of God’s unfailing unchanging eternal and infallible words of God preached, but only the ones suitable to your sensual lifestyle.
Amo 7:10 — Amo 7:13 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
2Ti 4:3 — 2Ti 4:4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
5. When you determinedly follow an assembly that can not guarantee your eternal well-being, because it profits your sensual and material gains.
Luke 19:14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
Jn 9:24 — Jn 9:29 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
Gal 1:13 — Gal 1:14 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
6. When you always do determinedly your permissive will and not His perfect will, even though in pretense you are asking for His guidance.
Ezk 14:3 — Ezk 14:4 Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them? Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
2Th 2:10 — 2Th 2:12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
How do you know if Jesus is reigning in your heart?
1. When you wholeheartedly and submissively ask from Him at times in all things, what He wants you to do.
Act 9:3 — Act 9:6 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever – Exodus 15:18
Beloved, I see you reigning with Christ in His kingdom forever. This reigning shall soon begin in no distant future.
But then the bucks stop with you. It is time to break your fallow ground and be prepared to meet with the Lord in the air.
May the good Lord help you in particular to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.
Hos 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness,reap in mercy;break up your fallow ground:for it is time to seek the Lord,till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Amo 4:12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel:and because I will do this unto thee,prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
1Th 4:15 — 1Th 4:17 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
