THE KING MAKER

Bible in one year Luke 18-21
Memorise: "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" (Rev 1:6)

Read: Rev 1:5-6

Apart from being full of blessings, the Book of Revelation brings us greetings from the Father, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ. What this means is that each time you read it, grace is being released to you. Moreover, it calls Jesus the First Begotten of the dead just as Romans 8:29 calls Him the first born among many brethren. If He had been called the only begotten from the dead, there would have been no hope for us. But since there is a first born, there is a second, and third born, etc. The fact that Jesus rose from the dead, guarantees us of the first resurrection. He is our elder Brother. When we get to Heaven, we will get to know our individual position as determined by our works for God's Kingdom. In Revelation 1:5, Jesus is also called the Prince of the kings of the earth.
This means that He is above, superior to and higher than all earthly kings. He rules over all. This is why earthly kings who bow to Jesus are wise. Psalm 63:11 says, "But the king shall rejoice in God: everyone that sweareth by him shall glory: but the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped".

He is the Super King who enthrones and deposes kings. Are you a king - somebody of power, position and influence? Bow to the Prince of kings! "And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen" (Rev 1:6). Jesus is the true king maker. He can make you a king on earth and in Heaven. He can make you reign as king throughout eternity in His Kingdom that has no end. This is why you must worship Him. According to the above scripture, constantly give Him glory because He loves you. Also, Romans 8:37 says we are more than conquerors because of His love for us. Also give Him glory because He washed you from your sins in His own Blood. And He provided for our continuous cleansing (1 John 1:7). You must worship Him because He took you in your filth as sinner - a dog, slave, pagan; washed you thoroughly with His blood and made you a king and priest of the highest order. How often do you thank Him for your salvation? Give Him quality praise and worship. He deserves it. As you worship Him, He will cause elemental forces, spiritual forces and everything He created on earth to worship you. As long as He is on the throne, nobody can depose you.

There are king makers on earth but the greatest King Maker is Jesus Christ. He can make you a king on earth and in Heaven.
