Jesus became the Lord of your life the moment you were born again. Remember that you had to confess His Lordship over your life to be saved. That was just the declaration. Now that you’re born again, it is essential that you start learning the Word of God. There is an experiential knowledge of the Lordship of Jesus that every Christian ought to have. This experiential knowledge is gained through adequate training in the Word by the Holy Spirit, and it doesn’t happen overnight.
You see, it’s one thing for Jesus to become the Lord of your life, it’s another thing to recognize His Lordship over your life. To recognize the Lordship of Jesus, you must be trained in the Word of God. The Lordship of Jesus is understood through acquaintance, submission and training in the Word by the Holy Spirit.
You must come to the point in your life where your choices have nothing to do with advantage. The three Hebrew children Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused to bow before King Nebuchadnezzar’s image because they were acquainted with Jehovah. They refused to cower from their decision even in the face of death. When the Lordship of Jesus Christ has gained the mastery over your life, all you want in life will be to do what He says and your thoughts will always be: What does the Lord want me to do?
A lot of Christians aren’t trained, and I’m not talking about training by a man. I’m talking about training of submission that you go through when you’re acquainted with the Lordship of Jesus. This will change your goals in life. This is the higher level of life where you’re not the one writing down your own goals but instead have your goals given to you by the Lord.
