PREEMINENCE OF JESUS CHRIST
David Abankwah
READ: Romans 14:10-12
For BY Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created THROUGH Him and FOR Him.
-Colossians 1:16 | NKJV
The preeminence (having paramount rank, dignity, or importance: outstanding, supreme or superiority) of Jesus Christ comes in three ways: FOR, BY and THROUGH creation. The eternal purpose or significance of creation was not for angels or men to benefit. It may seem man was the only one who was given the utterance to rule, subdue or have dominion over the earth and things that God had created, but angels too were assigned rulership over the things God had created too. God didn’t create anyone to fill vacuum.
Angels were created to fit the bill of messaging (Exodus 14:19; Revelation 22:16) and men were created to fit the bill of stewardship (Genesis 1:26; Luke 16:1-8; Titus 1:7; Romans 12:1) Angels have responsibilities or duties to fulfill. For instance if there is a mission of war, the angel in charge of war – Michael and his angels are deployed on the mission field (see Michael and his angels fighting and winning the war over Lucifer and his agents in Revelation 12:7-9). Men are also stewards of their own bodies and the lives of others (Luke 22:32).
The reason why angels will be judged one day (1 Corinthians 6:3) will be based on whether they carried their work of being messengers or not. It is not only humans who commit sin or iniquity. Some angels are also rebellious just like Lucifer and his angels were and were overthrown to the earth (Revelation 12:9). Sometimes not by their own might or will, but are rather influenced by the fallen ones (Daniel 10:13). Humans will also be judged based on whether they took care of their bodies well from sinning or committing iniquity or not (Ecclesiastics 12:14; 2 Corinthians 5:10).
Everything God created are into several groups: 1. Earthly 2. Visible 3. Invisible 4. Thrones 5. Dominions 6. Principalities 7. Powers. All these creatures were created by, for and through Jesus Christ and because of His preeminence over all creations, He is the One who will judge every believer and all denominations; Atheists; Muslims, Hare Krishnas, Buddhists, and all religions; occultists and all secret society groups; Satan, mammon, gods, witches/wizards, demons, marine spirits and all other evil spirits. All powers belong to Jesus Christ!

Lift up prayers for humility to be under subjection of the preeminence of Jesus Christ so you can obey His Word and escape from the eternal damnation in the lake of fire in the name of Jesus Christ.
