The Encarta dictionary defines control
as the ability to "exercise power or
authority over something...". And
Jesus shortly before leaving for Glory
said, "... All Authority is given to me in Heaven and Earth" (Matt
28:18, NKJV). Jesus has bequeathed this authority to us as His Sons in
glory. So, God wants us to have control over every facet of our lives-
spiritual, career, mental, financial and more. Jesus was a man in charge
of everything. He was a master of situations and circumstances. He had
such mastery that even when He was taken to the edge of the cliff to be
thrown off it, He calmly walked out from amongst His aggressors without
lifting a hand against them. And they could do nothing! No wonder the
Baptist said of Jesus, " He that cometh from above is above all.." (John
3:31). Likewise, we are citizens of Heaven and ought to exercise such
mastery over the vicissitudes of life....
