So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 88,926

With all this election posting on social media, one thing has caught my attention. A lot of people keep posting that Christ is King. If that is so, and I would agree with them, then the question I have is this. Do we realize what making Christ King means for our lives?

The first thing is that is Jesus is king, then he is king over all, whether they have accepted him or not.  This also means he is king over all our politics, business deals, education, and every other part of our lives. To have a king is different than a president or governor. A king has total authority to determine how we shall live. We have a choice to either submit in total to the kings will or live in adversity to him and risk the wrath of the judgment of the king. There is also the third party that gives lip service to the king but ignores his statutes. This is where I argue much of the church is today. We have sought peace from earthly kings and now believe we have elected one. So what now? Now we need to do what we should do regardless who sits in government. We need to cry out to the Lord, “We have sinned, because we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. But now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, that we may serve you.” (1 Sam. 12:10) “ And now behold the king whom you have chosen, for whom you have asked; behold, the Lord has set a king over you. 14 If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. 15 But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your king.” (1 Sam. 12:13-15)

We have chosen our earthly king, but he must submit to the authority of God for things to go well with us. But all the cards are not in his lap. It is us who should study to show ourselves approved. Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians that to be entrusted with the gospel means we must speak not to please man, but to please God. If we have been transformed by the gospel ourselves, then we live by God’s standards and we need to stop trying to change them to match our standards. We must seek out the standards of God and seek to live as salt and light, different from the world and quit assimilating into it. We must seek the standards of God because they will show us the error of our ways and cause us to repent. Repentance is a beautiful thing. It brings us to God and when he pours his mercy and grace on us we have true peace. In God’s kingdom there is freedom, true freedom, the kind that comes from serving a good king. One who does not lay heavy burdens on His people. But this king calls us to go into the world with truth, not with feel goodness but with truth that can sometimes be hard. But it has to begin with each of us individually. We must apply the truth of God to our own lives. Then apply it to our families and finally our churches. That is when we will see the freedom and peace, for ourselves and for our children.

So if you believe God is truly on the throne, then seek the king’s orders. He is a king who loves, a king who died for you, so give your life to serve him in how He commands.

    Its like you read my mind! You appear to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit,
    but instead of that, this is fantastic blog. A great read.
    I’ll definitely be back.

    I’m amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s
    both educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail
    on the head. The issue is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I’m very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something regarding this.

    Tipico Casino: Willkommensbonus nach Einzahlung auszahlen lassen

    Der Willkommensbonus im Tipico Casino gehört zu den attraktivsten Angeboten für Neukunden. Doch um den Bonus auszahlen zu lassen, müssen bestimmte Bedingungen erfüllt werden. Insbesondere geht es dabei um die Einzahlung auf das Spielerkonto.

    Um den Willkommensbonus zu erhalten, muss zunächst eine Einzahlung auf das Tipico Casino Konto getätigt werden. Dabei gibt es verschiedene Zahlungsmethoden zur Auswahl, wie zum Beispiel Kreditkarte, PayPal oder Sofortüberweisung. Nach erfolgreicher Einzahlung wird der Willkommensbonus automatisch gutgeschrieben.

    Damit der Bonus jedoch ausgezahlt werden kann, mГјssen bestimmte Umsatzbedingungen erfГјllt werden. Diese beinhalten in der Regel, dass der Bonusbetrag eine bestimmte Anzahl an Malen im Casino umgesetzt werden muss. Erst nach ErfГјllung dieser Bedingungen kann der Bonus und eventuelle Gewinne ausbezahlt werden.

    Es ist wichtig, die Umsatzbedingungen genau zu überprüfen, um keine bösen Überraschungen zu erleben. Zudem sollte man darauf achten, dass der Bonus innerhalb eines bestimmten Zeitraums umgesetzt werden muss, da er sonst verfällt.

    Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass der Willkommensbonus im Tipico Casino eine attraktive Möglichkeit ist, um das Spielerkonto aufzustocken. Wer jedoch plant, den Bonus auszahlen zu lassen, sollte sich im Vorfeld über die Umsatzbedingungen informieren und diese erfüllen. Nur so steht einer Auszahlung nichts im Wege und man kann die Gewinne genießen.

    Hi there great website! Does running a blog such as this require a lot of work?
    I’ve absolutely no expertise in coding but I had been hoping to
    start my own blog soon. Anyway, if you have any suggestions or techniques for
    new blog owners please share. I know this is off subject but I just needed to ask.

    Thanks!
