Isaiah 9:6-7

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on His shoulders. And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of His ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! Isaiah 9:6-7

We serve a God who is in covenant with us. He keeps that covenant with passion and uses His resources to fulfill His promises. He said He would send us a Savior and He did. He said He would establish His rulership on earth, and He did. When God makes a promise, He keeps it. Always. 2 Corinthians 1:20 says, “For all the promises of God in Him [Jesus] are Yes, and in Him Amen [let it be done], to the glory of God through us.

We can see in the names of Jesus what His reign on earth will be like. His will be an eternal kingdom ruled with fairness and justice. He is all He said He would be. You have an everlasting Father, a Wonderful Counselor, and Peace. I invite you to take some time to meditate on these titles for Jesus and apply them as banners over your life. We are always more than conquerors through our Lord Jesus Christ, the baby in the manger, the ruler of the universe, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.

The fact that God has committed Heaven’s armies to fulfill His covenant and bring about the establishing of His eternal kingdom on Earth is much more than we capture in our hearts. God has given power and authority to those who claim Jesus as Savior. With joy and celebration let’s rejoice and take our place in God’s kingdom. Let’s determine to be Jesus wherever we are: to seek the lost, touch them as Jesus does, and let the manifestations of God’s love fill the earth.
