Title: King of Glory
Subtitle: When the King Takes His Place
The Lord is interested in you, but will you open your heart and allow Him to come in? When you welcome Him into your life, what should change?
We cannot genuinely welcome the King and continue living carelessly. We must surrender the desire to be in charge and allow Him to take control, because two authorities cannot rule the same entity. Our responsibility is to trust God and His ability to work in our lives and to walk in daily obedience. However, it takes God's own ability for us to obey Him, and that help comes through the Holy Spirit.
Nuggets: When the King Takes His Place
1. Open Every Gate to the King.
God wants to touch something in your heart. Allow Him to speak to you about every area of your life, including your relationships. He is not seeking a small corner in your life; He wants the throne. Therefore, acknowledge Him in all your ways and allow Him to be the moral foundation upon which you build your life.
2. The King Brings His Order.
When we examine your life as it is today, can we see evidence that the King of Glory reigns within you?
Disorder can arise from wrong decisions, broken relationships, fear, and misplaced priorities. We cannot expect things to change if we remain resistant to the transformation God desires to bring, including changes in our attitudes and perspectives.
Walk with God as one who is wholly committed to Him. Do not pretend in His presence or conceal your imperfections. Instead, allow Him to continually correct, transform, and establish you in order and righteousness.
3. The King's Glory Must Be Seen Through Us.
There are other things that seek to occupy the throne of our lives, including pain, depression, sickness, and other forms of adversity. However, God's authority does not compete with unrighteousness; His order displaces it.
There will be circumstances that challenge how firmly you are rooted in God, and you must remain steadfast. People should encounter God's glory through our lifestyles, integrity, and everything that reflects virtue. Let the wisdom of God be evident in the way you live, interact with others, and contribute to your community.
Give the King His rightful place in your life!
The mountains before you are not greater than the Messiah. The darkness that clouds your life can never exhaust the light He shines upon you. When the King takes His rightful place, He establishes His order, transforms your life, and reveals His glory through you.
