Kingdom Principles

Kingdom Principles

No act either of man on earth or of the spiritual powers of darkness will ever remove the King of Heaven from His throne. 4. A king’s authority is absolute. That is why he is not a president or a prime minister. Presidents must consult Congress, and prime ministers, Parliament. If the prime minister of the Bahamas makes a decision, the senate can discuss it, the parliament may attack it, the media may mutilate it, and he may change his mind. Dictators, on the other hand, while perhaps exercising absolute power (for a time), possess no legitimate authority. This is why they must use force and repression to stay in power. But when a king speaks, he speaks with absolute authority— authority that is inherent to his kingship. 5. A king’s word is law. Because a king’s authority is absolute, his word is law. No one can countermand his orders, negate his pronouncements, set aside his decrees, or amend his statutes. David, an Israelite king who loved the King of Heaven with all his heart, had this to say about his King’s law: The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the sim ple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether right eous….By them is Your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward (Psalm 19:7-9,11). The King’s word is law. Great reward follows obedience. Disobedience brings severe penalties.
