KING
OF KINGS
BREAD
15 Here
is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was
shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his
unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive
eternal life. 17 Now to
the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for
ever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:15-17
(NIV)
God,
the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who
lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor
and might forever. Amen. 1 Timothy
6:15-16 (NIV)
16 Circumcise
your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer. 17 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of
lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts
no bribes. 18 He
defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving
him food and clothing. Deuteronomy
10:16-18 (NIV)
47 The
king said to Daniel, “Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings
and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.” Daniel 2:47 (NIV)
His
dominion is an eternal dominion; his kingdom endures from generation to
generation. 35 All
the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with
the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his
hand or say to him: “What have you done?”
Daniel 4:34-35 (NIV)
18 For
this is what the Lord says-- he
who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he
founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited--
he says: “I am the Lord, and there
is no other. 19 I have
not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to
Jacob's descendants, 'Seek me in vain.' I, the Lord,
speak the truth; I declare what is right.”
Isaiah 45:18-19 (NIV)
14 They
will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is
Lord of lords and King of kings--and with him will be his called, chosen and
faithful followers. Revelation 17:14
(NIV)
14 The
armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine
linen, white and clean. 15 Out of
his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will
rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the
wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his
robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND Lord OF LordS.
Revelation 19:14-16 (NIV)

“Immortal, invisible,
God only wise, in light
inaccessible hid from our eyes, most
blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, almighty,
victorious, thy great name we praise. Unresting,
unhasting, and silent as light, nor
wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; thy
justice like mountains high soaring above thy
clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. To all, life thou givest, to
both great and small; in
all life thou livest, the true life of all; we
blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, and
wither and perish, but naught changeth thee. Thou
reignest in glory; thou dwellest in light; thine
angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; all
laud we would render: O help us to see 'tis
only the splendor of light hideth thee.”
Walter C. Smith

“O
Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands
have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power
throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God,
to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my
soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art!” Carl Boberg
“We
should follow Christ in simplicity and faith, because the paths in which He
leads us all end in glory and immortality.
It is true they may not be smooth paths – they may be covered with sharp
flinty trials, but they lead to the ‘city with foundations, whose architect and
builder is God.’ ‘All the ways of the
Lord are loving and faithful for those who keep the demands of His
covenant.’ Let’s put full trust in our
Leader, since we know that, come prosperity or adversity, sickness or health,
popularity or contempt, His purpose shall be worked out, and that purpose shall
be pure, unmingled good to every heir of mercy…..His dear love will make us far
more blessed than those who sit at home and warm their hands at the world’s
fire.” Charles H. Spurgeon
“Absolute
sovereignty is what I love to ascribe to God.”
Jonathan Edwards
HEART
SAVOR
- · God is above all and over all. There is no other. 9 Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. 10 I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. Isaiah 46:9-10 (NIV)
- · God is both just and good – justice and goodness are rooted in His character. I can trust Him with my life. “His purpose is pure, unmingled good to every heir of mercy.” (Spurgeon)
- · God speaks the truth and declares what is right. My ignorance to His revealed will is due to my lack of searching and applying His Word. He promises wisdom to all who ask for it in faith: 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does. James 1:5-8 (NIV)
