I am the Lion of Judah, I am the roaring Lion! I am the one who conquered death and destruction and I am stronger than anything that opposes you! There is nothing that is impossible for Me. I am in control of everything. I am absolutely trustworthy but My question to you is do you trust Me?
I am the Lamb of God. I am the sacrificial Lamb. Surrender is on My heart. I was slaughtered and sacrificed. I became the weakest and meekest of all. I have given Myself fully and totally. I did not hold back anything, I became human and lived amongst you, poured out to death as a living sacrifice to save you and your beloved ones. Can you take that in? Do you understand the depth of My sacrificial love for you.
No bigger contrasts are reunited in Me than being the Lion and the Lamb at the same time. I challenge you in your life to demonstrate Me in both! You can be a roaring Lion where My kingdom needs to be proclaimed.
You can be the Lamb where your sacrifice is needed to advance My Kingdom. Do you follow Me? Are you ready to follow the footsteps of the Lion and be brave and unwavering to step out for My Kingdom cause? Are you ready to follow the footsteps of the Lamb and abandon yourself fully into My plans for the good of others?
Activation:
Take time to think about Jesus as the Lion of Judah and also Jesus the sacrificial Lamb. Meditate on the character of Jesus as the Lion and Jesus as the Lamb.
Allow God to speak to you about the Lamb and Lion qualities He displays through you and the places He wants you to stand in His true authority or His submission and surrender more. Ask the Lord where He wants you to display the characteristics of the Lion and the Lamb and to help you display Him afresh in these areas.
5 Then one of the [twenty-four] elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look closely, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and [break] its seven seals.”
6 And there [a]between the throne (with the four living creatures) and among the elders I saw a Lamb (Christ) standing, [bearing scars and wounds] as though it had been slain, with seven horns (complete power) and with seven eyes (complete knowledge), which are [b]the seven Spirits of God who have been sent [on duty] into all the earth.Revelation 5:5-6 (AMP)

7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not open His mouth [to complain or defend Himself];
Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before her shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.8 [a]After oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And [b]as for His generation [His contemporaries], who [among them] concerned himself with the fact
That He was cut off from the land of the living [by His death]
For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke [of death] was due?Isaiah 53:7-8 (AMP)
