The reign of GOD the King will be without end.
LUKE 1:33 (CEB)
He will rule over Jacob’s house forever, and there will be no end to his kingdom.
THE ESSENCE
The scriptures want us to recognize that Jesus is the forever king and that his kingdom has no end.
DAILY FODDER
What are the implications of recognizing Jesus as the ultimate king? How does this impact the way that we relate to the temporal authorities of the world? Is he currently reigning as king or is this a yet to be fulfilled promise?
PRAYER
Holy God, you rule forever and ever, Amen. Forgive me for living as though your kingdom is entirely future, and for making ungodly alliances with the rogue power-hungry regimes functioning in the world today. Help me to raise high the banner of King Jesus through the way I live and speak. I am an ambassador of your unending righteous and just kingdom. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
