The Lion in You Must Roar!

Lions are known for their courage and strength. They are commonly used as symbols for royalty and stateliness, hence the phrase 'king of the jungle'. Fortunately, among the many names that the King of all kings likes to be called is being the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.  The King of the universe has many names depending on the characteristic or the purpose He likes to emphasize or express. Prince of Peace for example shows the part of Him that denotes peace. Meaning his reign and presence is that of peace; He is the King that gives peace.

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is a powerful name. It is a name that denotes the supremacy of His power in this present world. It is a name that shows the existence of dominion in the realm of powers and principalities. It is a name for wonders and miracles.

And we know that lion exercise territoriality. Lions are animals that advertise ownership in many forms through scent markings with urine, faeces and roaring. If we digest further this name; the Lion of The Tribe of Judah, we can quickly find it in two parts;

The Lion which of course denotes strength and dominion and

The Tribe of Judah which denotes ‘the redeemed of God’, ‘the believers’, ‘the sanctified.’

Ipso facto, The Lion of the Tribe of Judah implies the powerful God that exercise ownership (dominion, protection, victory etc) for His children, the redeemed. Rev. 5: 5 that introduced this name said the Lion of the Tribe of Judah…… has Prevailed…. This name is a symbol of war and victory. My prayer for you is that that victory will be yours as you call on this name in Jesus name.

He is not far away like most of us believe. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah is within everyone that has surrendered his/her life to Him. Gen. 2: 7 says He gave a part of himself into us and we became alive. Therefore, we all have a living Lion in us.

However, one of the ways in which lion exercise dominion is by roaring. The lion in you must roar!

For a lion to roar very well it must be strong; it must be well fed with the right food.  Many of us feed the lion in us with fear, anxiety, former experiences of yesterday and all kind of bad news.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Your lion must roar and this can work very well when you feed your mind with the right word! Search the scripture on daily basis, feed your lion and call on the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, your case will not defile solution in Jesus name.

Have you fed your lion today? What bible passage/verse did you study?
