The super judge- Open heavens devotional by Pastor E.A Adeboye

BIBLE IN A YEAR: Lev 8-10
THE SUPER JUDGE Thursday, March 04, 2010
MEMORIZE: “I CHARGE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his  kingdom” (2 Tim. 4:1) READ: 1 Tim 4:1-2 “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him” (Col. 1:16). Jesus Christ is linked with all creatures by virtue of being their Creator.  Not only did He create you, He created you for Himself. Yes, you were made by Him and for Him. If you are not living to please Him, then you are not yet living. Anything that does not please the Creator is useless. Jesus Christ is not just that baby born in a manger; He is the Everlasting Father - the Word that took the form of human flesh just to save His lost creatures (John 1:14). How are you relating with your Creator today? Apart from being linked with His creation, the Lord Jesus Christ is also linked with other things. For instance, He is linked with the judicial system of earth and Heaven hence, He is called the Judge of Israel (Mic. 5:1), the Advocate (1 John 2:1-2) and the Faithful and True Witness (Rev. 3:14).  If you know Him by any of these titles, and you have a case in an earthly or Heavenly court, you are assured of victory.  He is the Super Judge. Every judge is under His influence. If an earthly judge has written his judgment on a particular case, the Judge of the whole earth can cancel it. As the Advocate, His arguments are weightier than the best of arguments advanced by earthly advocates. If He takes up your case, you have won. Similarly as the Faithful Witness, He can upturn any false witness against you. Do you have a case before God, men or agents of darkness today? The Lord is stepping into it this moment. He will give you favor and victory.  He is also the Judge of the living and the dead (2 Tim. 4:1). That means even after this life, as long as you were a friend of Jesus, eternity - bound decisions will favor you. Are you a friend of the most important Judge? ACTION POINT: If you are connected to the Super Judge, you have already won your case before setting your feet in the court.
