Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus (3) Matthew 6:10

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus Jesus shall reign where’er the sun,Doth his successive journeys run;His kingdom stretch from shore to

shore,Till moons shall wax and wane no

more.

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus • Jesus is King• our God reigns• Heaven Rules … ok!• God is in the driving seat• ‘your kingdom come’• best of times out of the

worst of times • this is God’s big picture

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus • Revelation 11:15• in God’s perfect time the

King came• they missed the plot• a different wavelength• their timing was off• from hero to zero in less

than a week

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus • we come before him as

loyal citizens • to be what he wants us

to be• to do what he wants us

to do• it’s when we crown him

in our hearts and lives

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus • it comes every time a

sinner repents• it comes as we live our

lives to his glory• eternal repercussions• ‘Take my heart, it is thine

own; it shall be thy royal throne.’ [F R Havergal]

• pray: ‘Reign in me …’

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus • ‘your will be done on

earth as it is in heaven’• we come before him as

obedient servants• this is the gold standard• Richard Baxter autograph• George Müller’s advice –

is this God’s work, God’s way, and God’s time?

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus • he knows everything• he wants the best for us• he remains focused• he is aware of our DNA• he leads us on the

journey• he won’t twist your arm• he moulds us into the

image of Jesus

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus • ‘as it is in heaven …’• angels on the payroll• God’s best servants• his will is seen in creation• God is boss of the nations• redemption: Eph. 1:5• sanctification: 1 Thess. 4:3• glorification: John 6:39f

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus • universal praise: Phil. 2:10• God delivers the goods• God never goes back on

his word• I want to do it MY way!• ‘the devil is on my back’• Jesus – a shining example• Jim Elliot’s journal entry

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus Then in fellowship sweet,

We will sit at his feet,Or we’ll walk by his side in the way;

What he says we will do,Where he sends we will go,

Never fear, only trust and obey.

Say ‘Amen’ to Jesus Prayer is a mighty

instrument … not for getting man’s will

done in heaven, but for getting God’s will

done on earth.

‘… your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in

heaven …’
