Daniel 7:14 (NASB Strong's)
“And to Him was given dominion,
Glory and a kingdom,
That all the peoples, nations and men of every language
Might serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
Which will not pass away;
And His kingdom is one
Which will not be destroyed.

We hear a lot of talk in our churches about believers "making" Jesus the Lord of their lives. When we are told that we are to "make" Him Lord, we fail to realize the truth of the above passage. In this passage Jesus was already given Lordship, of everyone's life. Today, believes and non-believers don't "make" Jesus the Lord of their lives; He already is. The difference between a true believer and a pretender and/or a non-believer is that a believer simply recognizes Jesus' Lordship. Jesus is Lord over all the universe. He has yet to take His Kingdom in the way He will, but this passage shows that it IS His and that we will all submit to His rule. Non-believers can boast and pretend and play as though Jesus is not Lord. But, one day, that will all stop. Jesus IS Lord and He will someday take His rightful throne!!!
