KING FROM OF OLD!

“For God is my King from of old” (Psalm 74:12).

Praise God saying, “You are my King. You are the one to rule over me. You are the one to take charge of me. You are the one to do everything for me.” Just see, with what great love, David rejoices saying, “For Gods is my King from the old.” 

There are many kings in the world; many kingdoms too. Some of them come into being but cease to exist very soon. Their governance does not last long. But our Lord is the King right from the beginning. Not only that. He stays as the King to rule every one of us with love. Dear children of God, will you humble and submit yourself in His hands for Him to rule you. Let He alone rule you. 

Today, look at the people of the world. Some are ruled by the lusts. Some are ruled by the inner feelings and some others are ruled by men. Similar to how Pharaoh ruled over Israelites after enslaving them, the sinful habits as satan are ruling over the people after enslaving them.

Isaiah says, “O Lord our God, masters besides you have had dominion over us; but by you only we make mention of your name. They are dead, they will not live; they are deceased, they will not rise. Therefore, you have punished and destroyed them and made all their memory to perish” (Isaiah 26:13, 14). 

Dear children of God, do not allow valuables, wealth or influence rule over you but submit yourself before God enabling Him to rule over you as the King. Let God be the King to rule you in every second, every thought and deed. 

He is not only a King from the old but remains as King forever and ever. “The Lord is King forever and ever” (Psalm 10:16). Governance is His forever. He was the King, is the King and will be the King.  He, who is the King from the beginning will also be the King for the future.  

In addition to being called as ‘King from the beginning’ and ‘King forever’, He is also called as ‘Eternal King.’ “He who is the blessed and only Potentate” (I Timothy 6:15). The meaning for this is that He lives eternally. Yes. There will not be an end to His governance. It stays very strong. 

When you read the book of Revelation, you will know that He is the King of kings, God of gods and Lord of lords, seated on the white throne in heaven. Dear children of God, always praise God and exalt Him. Let all honour and glory be to the King from of old.  

To meditate: “To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever” (Revelation 1:5, 6).
