So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 140,778

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.

    Welcome to the Search Engine Optimization Link Building Community!
    As a SEO expert experienced in link building, I set up this forum to share knowledge and encourage talks on every aspect of link building.

    Understanding Link Building
    Building backlinks is a key element of search engine
    optimization. It involves acquiring links from other sites to your own, thereby enhancing your webpage’s authority and visibility on major
    search engines. This section will help you grasp and execute effective methods for building links.

    Creating Valuable Content
    One of the most effective methods to build links is by producing useful content.
    Rather than focusing on the number of links, focus on quality.
    Good content that remains educational attracts organic backlinks and improves
    your page’s trustworthiness.

    Engaging with Communities
    Engaging in relevant forums and subreddits can be
    advantageous for link building. Address questions, provide helpful information, and interact with users genuinely.

    Eventually, this method helps to build connections that can lead to link opportunities.

    Utilizing Social Media
    Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are able
    to play a significant role in gaining backlinks.
    Distribute your posts on various sites to enhance exposure and draw potential linkers.
    Communicate with your community by answering comments and starting discussions that could result in backlink prospects.

    Guest Posting
    Publishing guest blogs remains a well-known method for building links.

    Identify influential blogs in your niche that are open to guest posts.

    Develop valuable articles that offer insights to their audience and include a link to your
    site in the content itself.

    Analyzing Competitors
    Researching your rivals can provide valuable insights
    into effective link building strategies. Use platforms like Ahrefs, Moz, and
    SEMrush to examine your rivals’ backlink sources.
    Find authoritative linking sites and try to gain backlinks from those websites.

    Building Relationships
    Building connections with key figures and authority websites can be beneficial for
    backlink acquisition. Connect with them on industry events, share their posts, and collaborate
    on initiatives. Over time, these relationships may result in link opportunities and reciprocal advantages.

    Using Link Building Tools
    There are numerous tools available that are useful in building backlinks.
    Tools like Ahrefs, Moz, SEMrush, and Majestic offer insights into other
    backlinks, identify backlink prospects, and
    analyze your backlink acquisition. Using these tools can help
    in building an effective link building strategy.

    Avoiding Black Hat Techniques
    It’s important to not use illegitimate strategies that can harm your site’s standing and visibility.
    Strategies like buying links, low-quality comments, and manipulative link schemes can lead to
    punishments from major search engines. Prioritize ethical
    techniques that establish genuine backlinks.

    I recently discovered kanyewestposters.com,
    and it has completely changed the game for my room decor!
    The selection of Kanye West posters they offer is incredible, ranging from his early “College Dropout” days to his more
    recent “Jesus Is King” era. Each poster is a piece
    of art that captures the essence of Kanye’s unique style and musical evolution. I ended up getting a “Life of Pablo” poster, and it has added
    such a vibrant, artistic touch to my space. If you’re a Kanye fan looking to bring some of his iconic imagery
    into your home, I highly recommend checking out this site. The quality is
    top-notch, and they have something for every era of Kanye’s career.
    It’s the perfect way to celebrate his artistry and keep your space looking fresh and inspired!

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s equally educative
    and amusing, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is an issue that not enough folks are
    speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across
    this in my hunt for something relating to this.
