So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 168,690

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.

    Abbie Chatfield has revealed the sexual act she would never
    engage in with her partner, Adam Hyde.

    The FBoy Island star, 29, recently opened up about the
    launch of her ‘kink kit’ sex toys and admitted that when it comes to
    bedroom fun, it’s strictly a two-person affair.

    While she does fantasise about having a ménage à trois,
    Abbie admitted that it’s something she could never actually go through with.

    ‘I have a fantasy about, like, seeing my partner f*** someone else,’ she told
    News Corp.

    ‘But I think I know in my heart that I don’t actually want to
    see it. I just want to talk about it like, that’s something that I find hot.

    ‘But in reality, would I want to see that?
    Maybe, probably not.’

    Abbie Chatfield has revealed the sex act she refuses to
    do with partner Adam Hyde

    While she does fantasise about having a ménage à trois,
    Abbie admitted that it’s something she could never actually go through with.

    ‘Like, whenever we get to a point where we’re like, “let’s have a threesome!”,
    I’m like, “I don’t actually know if I’m gonna want to see that”,’
    she continued.

    Elsewhere in the discussion, Abbie revealed
    that her Peking Duk frontman partner was the perfect ‘product tester’ for the kit.

    ‘He had feedback about the length of the flogger,’ she said, referring to the
    kit’s double-ended paddle.

    ‘It was a little bit too short after using that on me.’

    Abbie’s racy admissions come after she recently urged women to withhold sex from their Donald
    Trump-supporting partners.

    In a lengthy Instagram post, in the wake of Donald Trump’s victory
    over Kamala Harris in the US presidential election, the reality star told women they should refuse to date or
    have sex which anyone who supports his victory. 

    Alongside a series of posts from her story, she wrote: ‘IF THEY
    WANT TO TAKE AWAY REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOMS THEN DO NOT LET THEM ENTER YOUR
    BODY.’   

    ‘I’m done with the idea that men who support Trump (or Andrew Tate) are just ‘lost’
    and we should have empathy for them. They are gleefully posting threats of violence.’

    ‘I have a fantasy about, like, seeing my partner f*** someone else,’
    she told News Corp

    ‘They are happy that women’s rights are going to be stripped.
    They are laughing at our tears. They already have a SLOGAN
    in ‘your body my choice’.’

    Abbie then told women to not let men with
    these views ‘near you’ because they are ‘dangerous’.

    ‘Ask them about their views! They are dangerous and they
    don’t deserve your presence, emotional or domestic labour.
    If your partner was in support of Trump OR EVEN APATHETIC, STOP
    DOING ANYTHING FOR THEM THAT PATRIARCHY EXPECTS OF YOU!!
    They are NOT entitled to your body or time.

    ‘If they see you as a human they wouldn’t need this explained to them.
    DUMP. THEM.’

    She also claimed Trump’s presidency ‘will bring more
    violence towards women as men do not care about us’.

    ‘So stop giving them the perks of a relationship with you.
    It isn’t your job. Be with a man who can take care of himself, who won’t expect sex and
    who actually sees you as a human being.’

    Abbie’s comments echo sentiments from the 4B movement which sprung up in South Korea in the mid 2010’s.

    The radical feminist movement, calls for proponents to not date, get
    married, have sex, or have children with men.

    Following the US presidential election some American women declared
    solidarity with the movement is a form of protest against Donald
    Trump, and his role in the overturning of
    Roe v. Wade.

    I have been surfing on-line more than 3 hours lately, but
    I by no means discovered any fascinating article like yours.
    It’s beautiful price enough for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made
    just right content material as you probably did, the internet will be much more
    helpful than ever before.
