#Bible Study With #Jairus #Deuteronomy 17 18-20  - The Qualities God Required To Be Kings

“And when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he shall write for himself in a book a copy of this law, approved by the Levitical priests. And it shall be with him, and he shall read in it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the Lord his God by keeping all the words of this law and these statutes, and doing them,  that his heart may not be lifted up above his brothers, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment, either to the right hand or to the left, so that he may continue long in his kingdom, he and his children, in Israel.”

Long before God used Samuel to select the first king for Israel, God gave Moses the following rules for the kings (Deuteronomy 17). As future rulers in Christ’s kingdom, we can apply these principles to our hearts with the following application questions.

If we apply these five requirements in our daily lives, we will rule and reign with Christ. We may not be literal kings right now, but we will have a sphere of influence. We can rule our own lives and influence our families. How we behave as kings will impact our children and many others around us.
