All day today, a song kept playing in my head (Even in the
grave, Jesus is Lord, Even in the grave, Jesus is Lord) and as I sang it over
and over again, meditating on the lyrics and tweaking the lyrics to fit every
possible circumstance, my spirit was uplifted.
My friend’s brother was kidnapped a few days ago and the
kidnappers held him for 3days in the bush. He was bound and blindfolded all
through the ordeal and what he suffered during that period can only be
imagined. A ransom was paid and the guy was released but I keep playing it all
back in my head trying to figure it out and imagine the various possible
scenarios that could have played out…
Even in the grave, Jesus is Lord… there is the song again
playing in my head; then it hits me what God was saying to me all day; the
grave is the burial place of the dead meaning that everyone/thing in the grave
is dead. But even in the dead state, Jesus is still Lord. The Lordship of Jesus
is not circumstantial neither is it based on human feelings or conditions.
Jesus is still Lord over everything.
With the current shootings and all in France, the insurgence
in the Northern part of Nigeria, the bombings in Syria, the clamour and rioting
for the sovereign state of Biafra, with all the noise going on around us, Jesus
is still Lord.
As individuals even in our darkest hours, in our time of
dare need, Jesus is still Lord. Remember He promised us in His word that He
will never leave nor forsake us. He is our present help in times of trouble if
only we would cry out to Him.
Are you in a tight situation, depressed, worried, losing
hope and seriously searching for help? Cry out to God NOW for help because even
in the grave, JESUS IS LORD.
