I Know Him as Lord

“I Know Him as Lord” | Final Message in the I Know Him Series | Pastor Ricky Venter

🔥 Do you know Him as Saviour… but not as Lord?
Many believe in Jesus to rescue them—but few surrender fully to follow Him. In this powerful conclusion to the I Know Him series, Pastor Ricky Venter brings a transformative word that challenges us to move from salvation to surrender, from calling Him Saviour to living under His Lordship.

🗝️ Message Overview:

It’s one thing to pray a prayer. It’s another to lay down your pride, your plans, your preferences and say, “Jesus, have Your way in me.”

👉 Point 1: Lordship Means Surrender
Luke 9:23 – “Take up your cross daily…”
Jesus isn’t looking for part-time passengers—He’s calling for full surrender. Lordship means handing over the controls.

👉 Point 2: Lordship Shapes Maturity
Romans 12:1–2 – “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”
Growth in Christ comes through deeper surrender, not harder effort.

👉 Point 3: Lordship Demands Obedience
Luke 6:46 – “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”
Obedience isn’t optional—it’s the evidence of a heart truly surrendered.

👉 Point 4: Lordship Goes Deeper
Philippians 2:10–11 – “Every knee will bow…”
True Lordship leads to freedom, alignment, identity, and provision. It’s not bondage—it’s liberty.

💬 Key Quotes from the Message:

• “Salvation may start with a prayer, but lordship requires a posture.”
• “Some love Jesus as Rescuer but resist Him as Ruler.”
• “You don’t grow in Christ by trying harder. You grow by surrendering deeper.”
• “Calling Him Lord with your lips means nothing until you crown Him Lord with your life.”
• “If Saviour is the doorway, Lordship is the journey.”
