Text: Luke 19: 12,14,15
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The Lord Jesus Christ told a parable concerning God’s kingdom. He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return.“But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’ “He was made king, however, and returned home”. Luke 19:12, 14, 15.
Whether the enemy liked it or not the king was crowned. There are several key takeaways we can get from the above story.
Firstly, God is not a Democrat. He is a Sovereign King, who does as He pleases. He does not need a man’s vote or opinion to do what He will do. As far as God’s kingdom is concerned the will of the multitudes that have chosen not to do God’s will does not stop divine agenda.
Man can come up with many ungodly or antichrist laws like same-sex marriage, pro-abortion etc ; it does not change the purpose of God. The Word of God says, “There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.” Proverbs 19:21
Whether the world likes it or not Christ is coming back again. He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him- Revelation 1:7.
Why not examine yourself before he judges you? Why not surrender to the King of kings and the Lord of Lords? Do so today for tomorrow may be too late.
Prayer Nugget: Father, I repent from every act of rebellion against your Son Jesus Christ, and surrender my all to Him from today. Help me never to be found wanting as from now on in Jesus name.
