No Man Can Say That Jesus is the Lord, But by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3)

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 12:3)

The Spirit is the One that ensures that Jesus is enthroned above all. He works in us until we submit to Jesus as Lord of all.

To know Jesus as Lord is to know Him as the true Master. Jesus is exalted above every principality and power, given a name above all names, and every knee shall bow to Him. Therefore, we are called to obedience to Jesus the Lord.
