So…You think Jesus is king?

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 320,113

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 such as you read my mind! You appear to understand a lot approximately
    this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something. I feel that
    you could do with a few percent to drive the
    message house a bit, but other than that, that is
    magnificent blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.

    Great post! I’ve been struggling with Reddit marketing for a while and found that starting with an account that already has karma is one of the best ways to build trust quickly. If you’re just starting out or trying to scale on Reddit, I highly recommend using Reddit accounts with karma. It saves so much time and effort!

    This is exactly what I’ve been thinking. As we all know, Reddit can be tough for new accounts. After a lot of trial and error, I finally decided to get a verified Reddit account that already has history. It completely changed the way I approach Reddit marketing. It’s far easier to get visibility this way.

    If you’re running an OnlyFans account and want to boost your Reddit presence, I’d highly recommend purchasing a Reddit account with post and comment karma. Trust me, it really works when you’re targeting a specific audience.

    One of the biggest challenges with Reddit is the lack of trust new accounts receive. Accounts with good karma are often much safer and more effective when it comes to marketing and content promotion. After I switched to using a verified Reddit profile, I noticed a huge difference in my ability to get more interaction. If you want to avoid issues without worrying about account bans, I highly suggest looking into buying Reddit accounts with karma.

    This is definitely the way to go. Whether you’re promoting a business, an OnlyFans account, or just looking to gain karma for credibility, an aged Reddit account is a game-changer. I’ve been using accounts with karma, and I’ve seen better traffic in just a few weeks. You’ll notice the difference right away.

    Thanks again for the post! I will definitely be following your advice and sharing it with others who are struggling with Reddit marketing. For anyone serious about building up their Reddit presence, I can’t recommend buying verified Reddit profiles enough. It really works.

    The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a
    forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is
    now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic
    but I had to share it with someone!

    Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any tips and hints for first-time blog writers?
    I’d really appreciate it.
