As with all true
Christians, the truth of the Word of God must always be propagated or else its
burden burns like fire in the bones (Jer 20:9). This is what informs the
ministry’s insistence and emphasis on the institution of God’s Kingdom through
Christ Jesus and its enforcement by the believers (the church).
From Genesis to
Revelation, God had made Himself clear concerning His Kingship over creation
through human kind (Gen 1:26-28). This divine concept can never be adequately
handled by any man made government.
Whenever God’s people
seek to be ruled by their fellow humans as was the case with the Israelites of
old, God saw it as a rejection of Him (1Sam 8:5-7); also read Ps 81:11; Pr 1:24; Lk 7:30; 1Th 4:8.
God can allow certain
things to happen or be carried out by people, but He does not ignore His
standards meant for righteous living! God will never give up His eternal plan
for the earth; His kingdom principles had remained intact!
In the case of king
David, God appointed him ruler over His people contrary to an arrangement of
man in the selection of Saul. Compare 1Sam 10:23-25 with 1Sam16:10-14.
When one takes note
of how people like Joseph, Daniel, Nehemiah, Elijah etc were instrumental to
God’s rule in the ungodly heathen nations and or kingdoms, we are left with
only one option; that is to accept the reality of God’s intention of Heavenly
Royalty above the world’s setting!
