King Of Kings

HOW DO I RESIST THE REIGN OF THE KING OF KINGS IN MY HEART?

You resist His reign when you are disobedient to His voice and you still have your eyes in the world. It is amazing to see people who say they have surrendered to Christ but still follow the fashion of the world. Hardly can you see a lady now, even in the church of God whose skirt is longer than her knees. If God is reigning in your heart, you will cover all your virtues for your King. Remember, you are married to Him. He is both your king and your husband. I always tell the spinsters that it is an unwise thing for them to show all the virtues and benefits that their husbands should enjoy to the whole world. It is unwise for the size of your breast and the colour of your thighs to be public knowledge. Every woman is a prize to her husband and as a prize, he should look at his trophy and say, “This indeed is a great reward.” But if everybody knows about that reward, it is no longer a reward.

When God says, “Go to the left,” and because you see everybody going to the right, you follow them and disobey Him, then you are not submitting yourself to His rulership. You are struggling with Him. All the disobedience, all those who have refused to submit to His reign will not be part of His kingdom. Check yourself. Are you still struggling with Him? The Bible says you are a king and a priest.

What is the role of a priest? A priest is supposed to offer up sacrifices unto God. That is why Romans 12:1 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service.” Offering yourself is to offer obedience and submission. It is not enough to be praising God. How can you praise the person you do not love. The test of love is in the heart. Delilah told Samson, “How can you say you love me when your heart is not with me.” How can you say you love Jesus when your heart has been taken away from Him? How can you say you love Him when your heart is in the world? Search yourself. Are you a subject of the Lord Jesus? Is He reigning in your life? Because He is going to reign among His enemies by force. He will use the sceptre of righteousness to rule among His children and will use the rod of iron to reign among others. He must force them to submission. Do not be part of this because the Bible says it is a fearful thing to fall into the hand of the living God; do not make that costly mistake. Check yourself.

Jesus will subdue His enemies by the greatness of His power. He will bring down their pride. Revelation 5:6 says Jesus has 7 eyes and 7 horns. One of the interpretations of this is that, He has extra sensitivity to be able to discern the plots, conspiracies, plans and schemes of His enemies and then He will use the horns to push them to submission.

Also, Jesus is going to reign for a thousand years on earth. This is a physical reign. The one first described is a spiritual one, going on in the heart of men. Revelation 20:4, 6 says, “And I saw thrones and they sat upon them and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus and for the Word of God and which had not worshipped the beast neither his image; neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. “Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection. On such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ and shall reign with him a thousand years.”
