The Reign of Kings (1) ( By Fenny West)
The Reign of Kings (1)
The Reign of Kings
Is for the here and Now
And NOT by and by
Or pie in the sky.
It’s for those
Who know their God.
Who do great exploits
Who put Satan in his proper place-
Under their feet;
They know no defeat.
It’s Taking the bull
By the horn, through the Son.
They Decree to stand.
Their Word is power
Their wish is a command,
Commanding the heights,
Having dominion
Taking charge
Multiplying, increasing
In leaps and bounds.
Ecclesiastes 8:4
“Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?”
Revelation 1:6
“And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Working in the Kingdom
WORKING IN THE KINGDOM (1)
Word for Today ( Bob Gas)
‘…whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.’ MARK 10:43
Disneyland is referred to as ‘the Magic Kingdom.’ For those who work there, one value is emphasised above all others. It’s what puts the ‘magic’ into that kingdom. What is it? Servanthood! Employees are told that when you walk through those gates, you serve. You treat every encounter with people as if they were your personal guest. If they need directions, you escort them. If they ask a question you’ve heard a hundred times, you answer it as if you’d never heard it before. There’s a ride called the Jungle Cruise, and the most common question asked about it is, ‘How long is this ride?’ So the staff is given a prepared, standard answer: ‘The Jungle Cruise is an exciting adventure ride that lasts ten minutes.’ But one employee had been asked it once too often, so when a couple asked, ‘How long is the Jungle Cruise?’ he said, ‘Three days.’ The couple got out of the line, left the park, went back to Disney Hotel where they were on their honeymoon, packed up their suitcases, checked out, and came back to the line at the Jungle Cruise. The next day the Disneyland employee was gone, and someone else was standing at the line saying, ‘The Jungle Cruise is an exciting adventure ride that lasts ten minutes.’ When you represent God’s kingdom you’re supposed to go out of your way to facilitate people, love them and meet their needs. Why
Attitude for Altitude
Do you want to rise to a great altitude?
Then way up is the way down
Jesus personified that way
As He humbled Himself,
took the place of a servant
and died on the cross
For you and for me.
He gave us the example to follow
Those who will be leaders
must first learn to serve.
Hence the attitude for altitude is humility.
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil2:5-11
The Husband is the Head
The husband is the head,
Not to trample on her,
Or even make her dread,
But to die for her
As Christ died for us
On Calvary’s Cross.
Together they gel
United they stand
And they plunder hell
As per His command.
Together they reign
In sunshine or rain.
They complete each other
And jointly have synergy.
They need each other
Go far in their unity.
They are released to grow
And empowered to glow.
It is give and take
In the partnership.
Full love awakes
In the fellowship.
The two become one
Basking under His Sun.
