Greek · the-OS ho ON e-PI PAN-ton
God Over All
θεὸς ὁ ὢν ἐπὶ πάντων
God Over All — Christ, who is God blessed forever, above everything
Symbol: The throne above every constellation — sovereignty with no ceiling
“Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of the Messiah, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen.”
Romans 9:5
Paul's doxology is unambiguous: the Messiah who came from Israel's line is God over all, blessed forever.
What the name means
Christ is not merely sent from God; He IS God — over all creation, all history, all thrones.
He entered a family tree (the patriarchs) without ceasing to be God over all — humanity and deity in one Person.
Forever praised: if He is God over all, worship is not optional — it is the only right response.
How to pray this name
- Pray: 'God over all, I worship You — there is nothing above You in my life.'
- Pray it over every authority that intimidates you — He is over all of them.
God Over All, forever praised, I worship You. Nothing in my life sits above Your throne. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
Christ is God over all — every authority in my life is under His feet.
