Discipleship Focus: King
- King: This is the pinnacle of the Kingdom Triangle. When we look towards God’s position in the universe, we acknowledge that He is king. Authority comes from Him. Power comes through His authority. He is looking for representatives for His kingdom.
Three years ago, when I was reading through Genesis for the first
time in doing my blog, I was struck by verse 8.
Does not the interpretation of dreams belong to God? Three years later, I am still struck by that
same passage.
God gives us dreams. He gives
us His Word. He speaks to us through the
Holy Spirit. He empowers us to act
beyond our true human capacity as we reflect His will, grace, and love into
this world. He is the source of all
things good. If He is the source of all
things good, why should we be surprised that the interpretation of dreams, the
use of His gifts, the interpretation of His Word, and the application of His
love should belong to Him?
God is the King. He is in
charge. He is ruler over all. Everything is under His authority. All power comes out of His authority. This is the message that I hear loud and
clear through Joseph’s testimony today.
Everything belongs to Him; life is best lived when we recognize His
authority and spend less time trying to assert our own authority. He is king.
The best authority comes from Him.
