“He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”
(Revelation 19:16)
1. Jesus is The King
The Bible calls Jesus the king of kings. If He is the king of kings, who are the kings He is the king of? The answer might shock you. Christians are the kings He is the king of. He makes us into a “royal priesthood.” For the time being, forget about the priesthood, that’s a whole other real of truth about us and the grace of God in our lives. Royal means kingly.
We emphasize the worship of the King and rightly so. We cannot make too much of the King of the kingdom of heaven. The Lamb is the one on the throne who is worshiped by all of creation (Rev.5). All glory, honor and praise to the one whose name is above every other name! When Cornelius bowed to worship the apostle, “Peter lifted him up, saying, ‘Stand up; I myself am also a man.” (Acts 10:26)
II. We are Kings He is the King of
But we also need to learn about the kings our King is the King of. Who are these people and what are their responsibilities and privileges of being kings? The song says, “Who am I that a king would bleed and die for?” I must be something special; He went to the cross to redeem me so He could rule and reign on the throne of the universe forever. What is our part in His kingdom? What are we? Who are we? We are kings! Kings in His kingdom. We need to learn what our responsibilities are. What are our privileges? What do we reign over? III. We are Kings Over What We Conquer.
Here is where we are headed: “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Rev.3:21) Everything we learn to overcome in this life on this earth is further preparing us to reign as kings with Christ. When you learn how to overcome fear and overcome it, there’s another diamond in your crown! You overcame lust. Bam! Another ruby in your crown. You overcame sin. Another gem to shine forever on your head. You have to learn how to overcome. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1Jn.5:4). But we must learn what faith is and how it works. Let’s learn.
IV. We Reign by Faith
So many people don’t even know what faith is, how to get it, how it works, or how to work it. Do you know what God says you can obtain by faith? What it accomplishes? Did you know that faith works by certain laws? And we have to learn those laws? Romans 3:27 refers to “the law of faith.” The kingdom works by faith so it is imperative that we learn the laws of faith and how faith works. And this is just one system in the kingdom we have to learn. There is much to learn. Are you willing to do what it takes to learn them?
What other spiritual laws does faith work by? We must learn them if we are to walk by faith and please God. Laws are principles. Remember in the last chapter I discussed the difference between knowing the Person of Jesus and the Principles of Jesus? We meet the Person, but we must learn the Principles.
It’s one thing to be delivered from things like fear, depression, oppression, disease and death by someone else la
