Day 4: The King of the Kingdom
Day 4: The King of the Kingdom
Rebecca Holcomb
“On his robe and on his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.” Revelation 19:16
To understand what it means to be Kingdom ready, we must understand what it means to have a king. A king is king from birth unless he chooses to forfeit his kingdom. The kingdom belongs to him, he is not elected or chosen, he is king by birthright. The king’s loyal subjects are also born into his kingdom and serve him as their duty from birth.
Jesus is our king, as the son of Almighty God, he was born with the authority to rule and then by living a sinless life he earned his right to bring his kingdom to the earth he redeemed. His kingdom is for those who chose to be born again by the Spirit into his kingdom.
Unless you were raised in a kingdom, this is so hard to understand. But Jesus announced his kingdom 58 times in Matthew alone and invited us into the kingdom through his death and resurrection. He gave us authority to be kings and reign in life under his kingship. To be kingdom ready means to receive his authority and live as loyal subjects to the King of Kings, promoting his culture and will. To have authority, you must be under authority, the authority of your King. Revelations 5:10. “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” This is our birthright as co-heirs with Christ if we remain in Christ.
Jesus said that it is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the kingdom (Luke 12:32) and this starts with being born again into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son. We have kingdom citizenship and kingdom benefits, living in the abundance of the kingdom of God. In response to our loyalty, we bring our gifts, worship, service, and allegiance to our King.
To be kingdom ready is to worship the King.
