Subject the Earth
Hebrews 2:8 - YOU HAVE PUT EVERYTHING IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET.”
For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him.
The greater point of Heb 2:5-8 is that God has placed man upon this earth to bring it into subjection. This premise is given radical illustration in How God Himself had to become a man to set things right. God has established man with authority and power to rule over His creation. Let us call this disciplined governance.
However, "we do not yet see all things subjected to him." It is reminiscent of Deut 1:8 where the Lord says - "I have placed the land before you, now enter and possess it". Yet many failed to do so to which we hear Joshua lament - "How long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?".
There is a gap between what God makes available and what His people rule and reign in. We often pray over those gaps in areas of our need - whether finance, relationship, health, and fill in the blank. God gives answer to these prayers most often with simple wisdom to add disciplined governance in the area of our appeal.
Honor God with disciplined governance and where that comes short God will then honor us with divine provision. This is ORDER & GLORY.
What area of your life do you need to add more disciplined governance in?
Life Church - let us wait no longer. We shall seek the Lord and then take what has been given!
