CHRIST – THE KING
David Abankwah
READ: Revelation 17:14; 1 Timothy 6:15
And the Lord shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be— “The Lord is one,” And His name one.
-Zechariah 14:9 | NKJV
In eternity before the world was made, God the Father was preparing His begotten Son to rule His beings and images. Like a good father leaves inheritance for his children’s children (Proverbs 13:22), so God’s inheritance are the saints. That’s why when you abort a baby, you won’t go scot free. Until you have been punished by God, you can’t be forgiven. Asking for forgiveness from God does not right your wrongs. God the Father wanted His Son to rule humans He would create some time to come. God the Son humbled Himself as a sheep to learn from the Father so He would have all His good qualities of rulership.
But things had changed. The people the Son would rule over some time to come had became wayward (Genesis 6:5-6). Turned away from the ways of the Father (Genesis 2:16-17), men became sinful and difficult to be ruled over. God the Father being so good, prepared the way for the coming of the Son by picking Patriarchs, Prophets, Kings, Judges, Laymen and a Forerunner. God the Son then left all His Godly form, power, glory, honour, royalty, and dignity. He had to obtain the Kingdom from the Father through the sacrifice of His own blood which led to the handing over of authority from the Father to the Son.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “ALL AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH -Matthew 28:18 NKJV.
This authority is not just authority over just death and hades, but authority in Heaven and New Jerusalem to come. The name Jesus Christ being the Word of God has been exalted above all the name of the Father, ….FOR YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME -Psalms 138:2 | NKJV. God has given Him authority above all things that the name Jesus Christ is now superior than any other name, thing, being or people (Philippians 2:10-11).
God the Father will not judge but has also set the Son to be the Judge of all (John 5:22) that we should all appear before Him to be judged (2 Corinthians 5:10). Jesus Christ has therefore been set as the King of all Kings, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the RULER OVER THE KINGS OF THE EARTH….
-Revelation 1:5 | NKJV, who will also rule over all in New Jerusalem for all eternity with the rod of iron as He had received the authority from the Father (Revelation 2:27). The rulership of the Son of God is eternal. It is therefore wise to believe in Him and be saved now.

Lift up prayers for the deliverance of your soul from every authority evil spirits have over you so you can be liberated for the rulership of the Son of God to take full course in your physical and spiritual lives in the name of Jesus Christ.
