The King's Countenance (2)

 Revelations 1:12-16

In the scripture passage/text above we read a description of the King's countenance.

Jesus Christ in His glorified, divine state.

True and successful kings maintain a spiritual connection to the King of kings and Lord of lords.

In Bible times we see from the scripture that it's earthly kings who maintained a relationship with God that was most successful.

King David was a very successful king who had God as His refuge, anchor, and strength.

King Solomon was a very successful king who had quite a peaceful reign and lots of prosperity when he loved God and maintained his relationship with the God of his father king David.

Adam was created to be the king of the earth, in the image and likeness of His maker. He had the blessing and the divine glory and mandate to function in that capacity. This was before the fall.

King Uzziah was a very successful king whose reign enjoyed a lot of innovativeness in warfare and ingenuity. He was a king marvelously helped by God. This was before he got proud and became leprous as a result of God frowning at him.

We need to focus on making the King happy with us, our God.

If you are going to be successful in your leadership and kingly office, keep your relationship with God alive.

To succeed, look to the countenance of the King- the one whose face is like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

Revelation 1:16

When we look to the countenance of the King of kings, His glory rub's off on us.

When we look to the countenance of the king, our King, we begin to manifest as kings after His order.

2 Corinthians 3:18

On the countenance of our king, we find life!

Proverbs 16:15

Our target and aim as a people should be to please our king.

Your heart's desire as a true citizen of God's kingdom should be to ensure the countenance of our King is always brightened towards you.

It is to our benefit when our king is happy with us.

Jesus Christ is our king.

He is the King of the kingdom we are from.

Colossians 1:13

There is light and great glory to contact on the face/countenance of Jesus Christ.

There is wisdom in spending time with God, it makes our face shine.

Ecclesiastes 8:1

The face of Moses shore after spending a long time on the mountain top in the presence of the King of all kings.

Exodus 34:30

God wants His face to shine upon you.

Numbers 6:25

When God's face shines upon us we contact His life.

John 1:4

When God's face shines upon us we are being transformed into His image.

2 Corinthians 3:18

When God's countenance shines upon us we live gloriously.

When God's countenance shines upon us we take on God's nature.

John 12:36

God's countenance upon us gives us peace.

Numbers 6:26

When God's countenance shines upon you, darkness (evil) departs from you.

John 1:5

The good news to us is that the King's countenance is one of favor and love to us, this is due to God the King viewing us through the lens of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:2

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
