TOPIC : THE SOVEREIGN GOD
Memorise :
But our God is in the heavens: he hath done
whatsoever he hath pleased.
Psalm 115:3
Read : 1 Samuel 2:27-30
27 And there came a man of God unto Eli,
and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I
plainly appear unto the house of thy father,
when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh’s house?
28 And did I choose him out of all the tribes
of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine
altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod
before me? and did I give unto the house of
thy father all the offerings made by fire of the
children of Israel?
29 Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at
mine offering, which I have commanded in my
habitation; and honourest thy sons above me,
to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all
the offerings of Israel my people?
30 Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I
said indeed that thy house, and the house of
thy father, should walk before me for ever:
but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me;
for them that honour me I will honour, and
they that despise me shall be lightly
esteemed.

Message
God is sovereign! He possesses ultimate
power and exercises supreme authority over
an unlimited territory. Psalm 135:6 explains
that God is able to do as He pleases in
heaven and on earth: Luke 1:37 says that
with God, nothing shall be impossible, and
Daniel 4:35 says that He is unquestionable:
no one can restrain Him.
It is very important to realise that God
cannot be successfully opposed ( Job 9:12,
Isaiah 43:13). He is the Lord of heaven and
earth. 1 Timothy 6:15 calls Him the only
Potentate, the King of kings and the Lord of
lords. He reigns supreme and His Kingdom is
forever ( Psalm 29:10). God’s Sovereignty
extends over all things. He is sovereign over
creation because He Created all things for His
own pleasure ( Revelation 4:11). He is
sovereign over human life and over even the
minutest details of life – for example, He said
the very hairs our head are all numbered
( Mathew 10:30). He is sovereign over world
history and governments. In Proverbs 21:1,
He said the Kings heart is in His Hands.
Daniel 4:17 affirms that the most High rules
in the kingdom of men, and He gives it to
whomsoever He pleases.
The Sovereign God is completely in control of
the life and salvation of His chosen people,
as well as everything concerning believers .
As a matter of fact, because satan and his
demons are part of the created order, they are
also subject to authority of the Most High
God. Consequently, God is sovereign over
satan, gods,demonics forces, principalities
and powers in high places, etc. That is why
Colossians 1:16 says that:
‘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:’God
deserves our worship and adoration, He is
worthy of all glory, honour and praises. He is
greater than the greatest, yet He is full of love
and mercy. All power in heaven and on earth
belongs to Him. Lift Him up high. Magnify
and bless His holy Name forevermore.
Action Point :
Worship the sovereign God and sing praises
to His holy Name throughout the day. As you
do this. His divine presence will become
manifest in your life in Jesus ‘ Name.
