Q3. Lord of Lords and Governments


Pastor Ralph

Recommended Posts

People who run for office, whether,state local,county and U.S. speak about the promises they have for us when we vote for them. These people we call are,senators,congressman,or congresslady,legeslators and other goverment agency who promises are made to be broken. Our politicians, come and go or revoted to stay another term. Here the President is overall the leader of The United States. He also has the authority as Commander in chief. This country has always been,I quote, "ONE NATION UNDER GOD".

God's Son,Jesus Christ is the King of King's,Lord of Lords. He sits on the throne at the right hand of His Father. He watches over us always and forever. His promises is always kept for us to keep. He is watching over us at all times when we need Him. The present kingship of Christ is His royal rule over His people. It is a spiritual realm established in the hearts and lives of belivers He administers His kingdom by spiritual means and the word and the Spirit.

Whenever believers follow the lordship of Christ,the Savior is exercising His ruling or kingly function. Christ's kingship is also present today in the natual world. Christ is the one through whom all things came into being and through whom all things are held together.

Q3. What are the implications for governments that Yahweh is the King of kings and Lord of lords?

Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that he is King of kings and Lord of lords. There will be no one in authority except our King God Jehovah. All will answer to him for what has been done in their life. There is not any big I's and little U's with God.

What are the implications of removing God" from a nation's currency and pledges, and ardently secularizing national life?

Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!

Leaving God out of our nation opens us up to no protection for our country. Today it seems they want him off the currency out of our school and to be forgotten. If this happens we will have removed our protector our provider and all that God has promised in his word to do for those that love and call upon him.

Where does that put a nation with regard to God the King?

Look upon the wrath of God that has been poured out on our country so far with The hurricanes and the floods. God will always hear the cry of his people and when sin is so strong around them he will remove that sin just as he did with Sodom and Gomorrah. The nations that does not regard God our King will end the same way. Lord help us to turn from our wicked ways and run back to you is what we pray but the end times are here and we need to be ready to meet him in the air. At the end time no nation will stand for God they will be in one accord with the anti-christ and that is how the word reads.

Psalms 125:3 For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. :(

I pray daily that our leaders will submit to God's calling and leadership. King Solomon ask God for wisdom to lead his people and God rewarded him. It is the duty of our leaders to seek the same wisdom to lead today and put God first in their lives as we do ours.

The implications can be seen daily in the way that people treat each other on our highways and work places. The leaders who fall short and allow the removal of God from all areas of life will face a vicious God and be severally punished for their failures. When they fail to put God first in their lives it naturally passes on to their children and the rest of the populace and cause a generation of non-believer's. We must make sure we elect the leaders who have chosen to follow God and know His plan for their lives as well as our nation.

When a nation chooses to omit God from their daily lives they are seeking to be lost like Sodom and Gomorrah. They are choosing a path that can only lead to destruction and a falling away as a nation. This can be seen thru out history as nation refuse to seek after God and His righteousness they soon cease to be a nation at all and are over run by some other power greater than they.

The implications for governments that Yahwey is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords is to submit to HIS authority since there is no other authority except that which HE has established. They must rule with justice and righteousness because the GOD we all know is a GOD of righteousness and any who fails to do that will will face the punishment of wrondoing. The leaders of today should seek the wisdom the wisdom of Solomon in order to good leaders.

The implications of removing God from a nation's currency and pledges is to attract the wrath of God upon them. God has promised to bless the nations whose God is the Lord, whereby a nation decides to do otherwise, it then meand that the blessings of the Lord will be far from them.

A nation which is governed by God is a blessed nation says the Bible.

Blessings increase as a nation adheres to Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. However,as He makes a nation rich, carnality rears it's ugly head and secularism becomes king. The very wealth that Yahweh blessed a nation with becomes that nation's God, and the Lord of Lords becomes a diminished reality, soon forgotten by the majority. A government that recognizes that Yahweh is King of Kings and Lord of Lords will be blessed. A government that excludes God from all of it's rulings risks condemnation and withdrawal of God's blessings. As God said in 2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." I pray that we as a nation, my country India will know One True God and owe its allegiance to Him alone . When the Government obeys the laws of the Lord, the subjects are blessed by default. Then the people of India will be free of all problems.

Our Government Officials need to remember that they are not God. They need to get on their knees before God and ask for His guidance and help in all decisions that they have to make. What a wonderful world we would have if they did that.

The implications for government are that they need to realize that they answer to a Higher King - they are simply a servant of the Lord. The implications of removing God from currency, pledges, etc., are that the government that condones this, even encourages this, is in direct rebellion to their Suzerain. They are removing their nation from under His protection and declaring war on the King of Kings.

Yahweh gave the kings and rulers in this world the authority to govern, as His representatives. They should try really hard to rule as God our Righteousness would, and they will be judged about this aspect.

A nation that secularizes his symbols, pledges and currency is showing an overt rejection to God the king, and will suffer the consequences of such a rebellious attitude. It loses its sense of purpose and justice, which will inevitably lead to violence and general crisis.

thge implications for todays governments that Yahweh is King is just a falsehood and the big reason why today there is such trouble and turmoil in thw world. Jesus Christ and the Lord is part of life and taking Them out of our lives is just another way that SATAN works against us and the Lord. Nations of people will be judged due to thier works, whether good or bad and will be dealt with appropriately. A nation that believes in the Lord Jesus Christ will propser as a nation ll people of the nation that has repented, been baptized and follows all teachings of Jesus Christ and the Lord as God the King of Kings will propser.

All things belong to God. The heads of governments are given their authority by God and should seek God's leading to rule their governments. Removing God from government will throw a nation into the secular world and sin will become abundent. Look at this nation where secular people have been successful in removing prayer, the pledge from our schools. Look at the corruption that is in this nation now. The leaders of the nation that does not put God first will be held accountable to God, the King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

Disobedience to God has been the major problem for all the Nations in the world. Many countries charge leadership thinking that most of their problem will be solved , this is wrong , problem will only continue under new administration . What people need in this World is UNIFIED FAITH ,NOT A UNIFORM RULE .WE HAVE TO LET GOD THE KING OF kings TO BE OUR LEADER AND FIGHT FOR US THE BATTLE .

The implications of Yahweh's rule are similar for nations and individuals. God designed creation to work well when it is in a healthy relationship with Him. That is when He is recognised as God in all of His qualities - including as the the King of kings and Lord of lords. So, if a government recognises His authority and chooses to honour Him in what they do things will (mostly) go well for thier nation. I say mostly because we are still in a sin riddled world. Even the most Godly government will probably have subjects/citizens who defy God and the natural outcome of sin is to be cursed.

On the other hand, a government who chooses to ignore Yahweh's authority as King of kings and Lord of lords opens itself and its citizens to those same curses. I'm not sure that God needs to do much for the consequences of sin to hit home as they are a natural result of living in a sin-infested world. For instance in New Zealand, where I live, successive governments have been steadily working away at wearing down the place of the family (especially marriage) in society. As a result we have large portions of whole generations that are violent (no self-control), bored (no motivation), reckless (no consideratin of consequences) and completely ignorant of God. There was no need for Yaweh to do anything to cause this to happen - it was a natural result of a lack of input into youngster's lives! Of course God does dish out specific punishment in extreme cases - see Sodom & co.

So a nation that honours God as King by respecting Him and his design for life will have mostly happy/fulfilled citizens and grow stronger as time goes by. A nation that doesn't will disintegrate from within. Not much choice really.

The kingship of God calls on secular government to act as stewards for the people. Since government officials are answerable to a higher power, they should act responsibly and on constant watch so that their rule will be pleasing to God. I don't think it really matters whether God is in any country's currency or pledges. These are simply formalities. But the more important thing is that even if a government appears to be secular, its officials must endeavor to discharge their duties with the end in view of fulfillling the will of Jesus.

Q3. What are the implications for governments that Yahweh is the King of kings and Lord of lords?

When governments recognize Yahweh as King of Kings and Lord of Lords they rule under the authority of Yahweh and submits to God's sovereignty. They acknowledge that their rule is subject to the King of all governments and as a nation God is worshipped.

What are the implications of removing God" from a nation's currency and pledges, and ardently secularizing national life?

When God is removed from a nation's currency, pledges and its national life is void of honoring God; that nation has removed God as its supreme King of Kings and has taken itself from under the domain of the only true and living God.

Where does that put a nation with regard to God the King?

As King of Kings every nation should show honor and glorify the God who gives life and sustains the universe. It is because of His dominion rule that nations can set up governments. God alone is over all the earth and our praises of thanksgiving should never cease, personally and nationally.

Frankly, after seeing the ad this week for the new American coinage which completely leaves "In GOD We Trust" off, I'm so upset, there is little I can say that isn't already obvious in response to today's questions.

In *any* situation, when we take GOD out of it, we've nothing left but hopelessness and diaster!

Not only are our leaders going to be made to answer for this --- if not in this life, then when they stand before Almighty GOD (for it is their responsibility to do us all *good* and not harm) --- but they will have caused a great lowering of GOD's protection over this nation in direct correlation to the amount of secularism and total disregard for GOD that our people exhibit.

May GOD have mercy on our souls!!!

With Yahweh as King of kings, the main implication is that every law that is issued by Him, should also be adopted by the nations under the great King. Just as it was understood that the kings of Israel were reigning in God's stead, this same command goes out to all goverments. Instead of pride, government officials should be overcome with humily when the realize that God has allowed them their place of power.

When a country turns their back on God and rejects Him, they are treading on dangerous ground. They forfeit every benefit that was theirs as a vassal, as well as make themselves an enemy of God--a guarranteed defeat.

What I would like to elaborate on is that while forsaking or following God will ultimately bring the appropriate wages, either of death or eternal life respectively, the wicked may prosper on earth, and the righteous may suffer. Many times in the Bible, God uses a rebellious nation to punish His people before He brings them to thier own ruin. Likewise, while Isreal was still God's chosen people, when they rebelled against Him, they were punished, not because God had alligned Himself against them permanently, but because He was disciplining them, as a father does to a child he loves. Also, even though addition trouble or blessing may come to us as a result of our country's response to the King's authority, the Lord looks on each of us individually. Just as Lot was saved in the midst of Sodom and Gomorrah, we must trust that the Lord will be with those who are loyal to Him in the midst of treason.

Php 2:12-15 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.

These questions are to political. The fact that a nation wants to remove recognizing God as King of king s and Lord of Lords is just stupid. That would jeopardize them during the tribulation.

When Yahweh is viewed as King of kings and Lord of Lords over all human rulers and kingdoms, this obigates rulers to pattern themselves after godly righteousness and practices. Removing God from our currency, pledges, and everyday life will put the human ruler or rulers, nation, and peoples diametrically opposite from God and invite devastation, punishment, and disaster. We'd actually reduce what should be a high quality of living into an utter shambles.

In Romans 13:1 we read "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."

God, who is over all and is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, puts into power those who rule. We may not think that the person who is Prime Minister/Premier/President/Leader of a place is the right one, but God has His purposes for allowing these men and women to rule. As Christians it is our responsibility to pray for those in power.

The implications for governments that Yahweh is the King of kings and Lord of lords is that all governments, regardless of structure or ideology are subject to Him and He should be recognized and honored by each government/nation.

Secularizing national life ignores God and seeks to remove Him from the life of the nation. It rejects the fact that a nation is subject to the King of Kings and Lord of lords. It places focus on humanism vice Godliness.

By doing so, that puts a nation outside the blessings of the King of kings and Lord of lords. God doesn't honor those who do not honor Him.

The implications for governments are that each government needs to acknowledge that God is and that He is in control. They need to treat those they rule as God would, with justice, and righteousness. I see so many rulers that are power and money hungry and they step on their constituents as if they were just bugs that irritate not charges given to them by God to protect and serve. If anyone could have stepped on people getting to the top it was Jesus yet He said,
