Proverbs 16:15
God is the King.
God's countenance towards you matters.
One of the greatest blessings you can enjoy is for God's face to look favorably in your direction.
It brings life, lifting, and progress.
It is a wonderful thing when God smiles at an individual's life and destiny.
The idea and concept of kingship/royalty started and originates from God.
In our physical realm kings are given the honor, respect, and reverence.
Kings/Queens are not seen as mere men but people who have the right and authority to rule over others, especially those in their jurisdiction and realm.
The crown is the major symbol of distinction that sets a queen and king apart from their subjects, from those in their domain.
God has a crown that separates Him from other spirits.
God has distinct, unique, and glorious attributes that distinguish Him from other spirits, He is the Father of all spirits.
God is the God-King whose favor we should always seek for.
God's favor and love lifts us to any height, brings us any needed breakthrough, and protects us.
There are loads of benefits that can be received by those who are in the good books of a king/queen.
It is to the advantage of an individual who the king's countenance favors.
May the countenance of King Jesus favor you!
The scriptures inform us there is light and glory on the countenance of Jesus Christ! There is glory on His face that is beyond human comprehension.
2 Corinthians 4:6
The countenance of kings in Bible times showed volumes regarding what was to befall the individual the king is focused on, whether it's a Pharoah of Egypt, a Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, Cyrus the great of Persia, King Xerxes of Persia, King David of Israel amongst others.
Cyrus the great was addressed as the king of kings in his time because of the many kings that paid tribute to him, kings whose land/countries he had conquered, and had come under Cyruses jurisdiction.
By the time Cyruses grandson Xerxes became king of Persia the Persian empire had grown to over 180 countries/lands and counting, all under Xerxes control. He controlled a powerful dynasty and empire that favor was going to make an orphan girl queen of.
King Xerxes loved and favored Esther, the orphan Jewish girl brought up by her uncle Mordecai who served at the king's gate.
The king's countenance also favored Mordecai, Esther's uncle.
Esther 2:17
Esther 5:8 - Esther 6:1-12
The King's countenance determines if we get the positive change we seek in our lives or not.
One look from earthly kings could determine life or death, mercy or punishment, poverty or riches, depending on the disposition of the king.
Earthly kings have so much power and have had a lot of power in ancient and Bible times because the democratic form of rulership/government wasn't practiced at the time. It was monarchy and dictatorships that were in operation.
The word of the king was final.
Ecclesiastes 8:4,5
May God look favorably towards us.
Numbers 6: 25,26
As Esther found favor before her king, may we find favor before the King of kings and Lord of lords.
This favor will bring a positive change to any life and destiny.
Key characters in the Bible found themselves having to stand before kings in Bible times- Joseph before Pharaoh, Moses before Pharaoh, Jesus before Herod, David before Saul, Esther before Xerxes, Abraham before Abimelech as well as several others.
For many of them, contact with kings benefitted them.
Many people scheme, fight, betray one another, and play politics to be in royal circles and to have the favor of kings.
Yet they neglect the King who truly matters, they forget the King who has the heart of all earthly kings in His hand!
Proverbs 21:1
Jesus Christ is Lord, He is King of kings and Lord of lords!
Acts 2:38
Revelation 17:14
God is the king!
Psalm 47:6-7
