Message
God wasn't enthroned; therefore, nobody can dethrone Him. The devil once tried, but he was kicked out of heaven (Revelation 12:9). God is King, and He is King forever.
When I say that God is king, I mean that He is King over all earthly kings. No matter how powerful a king is and no matter how much he has achieved, God is greater than him. In Daniel 4:1-37, Nebuchadnezzar thought that he could take the glory that belonged to God. God made him pat grass for seven years, and when he came back to his senses, he said, "God is the Almighty."
If you are a king in your own right, whether in your organisation, family, state, or wherever, your reign is only temporary. You should submit to the One who is King forever if you want to have a good and memorable reign. David submitted to God, and up until today, Israel still recognises him as their greatest king ever.
Many years ago, I was invited to dedicate the RCCG national headquarters in a particular country, and I gave the church leaders a date in my calendar. In that country, government permits are required before hosting dedication ceremonies, so the church applied for a permit. However, a man in the government was determined to stop the dedication. He said, "I have heard about this church. You plan to convert everyone and build churches everywhere; that will not work here." The church leaders called me to report the situation, and to be honest, I didn't even pray about it. The day the man was to attend a meeting to conclude that the dedication wouldn't be allowed to take place, he accidentally put both of his legs into the same trouser hole as he was dressing up. He struggled to free his legs until he fell and was rushed to the hospital. He eventually died with both of his legs still in the same trouser hole. Nobody possesses greater power than God; when He decides to do something, it is better to cooperate with Him because He cannot be stopped.
Jesus is King forever, and all power belongs to Him. All souls are His (Ezekiel 18:4), including yours, and He wants you to surrender what belongs to Him. You belong to the King, and it is a blessed thing to belong to Him because you will automatically have access to all that He has.
