It is an abomination for kings to commit wickedness, for a throne is established by righteousness. Proverbs 16.12

There isn’t a person who, having born again, hasn’t been made a king by the Lord Jesus to His God and Father (Rev 1.6).  However, most of the saved haven’t heard about it yet and, so, keep crying out before the Master’s feet for Him to give them a blessing. Those who accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior need to understand to behave as sovereigns in every part of life. The believer decides how he is going to live.

Nevertheless, there is a danger surrounding the saved: the wickedness. It can be either shown by evil procedures or be hidden deep in the heart. While the saved doesn’t assume his position as a sovereign, he can be used by the enemy. But when becoming high authority in his own life, he will feel abominable, despicable if he lets himself be used by the demon to injury someone.

We would do well for all whole society if we took the saved to occupy the place determined by the Lord. Acting as kings, they wouldn’t be used anymore to hurt their neighbor. So, the lost will wish to take part in salvation. I believe one of the best ways to evangelize is to have every believer a become winner because if the lost see them winning, they will also wish for Jesus.

On the other hand, when practicing justice – assuming what the Word says it is yours –, you please both God and men. The world needs this kind of person. Since destruction is close, we have to make the lost see clearly that there is a place for them in Christ. If they are in Jesus, and the words of the Master are in them, everything they ask, or command, will be done (Jo 15.7).

Every member of the Body of Christ should practice justice because if they don’t the kingdom won’t be established. There is a great danger here: when the enemy decides to do any harm, if you are not confirmed as a king, he will defeat you and you will be able to do nothing. No wonder that there are so many sons of God suffering. The Lord stated, through prophet Hosea, that His people suffer for lack of knowledge (Hos 4.6).

The saved should have an answer every time they prayed. The truth is there isn’t anything more depressing for any son of God than not being heard in his supplications or commands. When this happens, it seems that faith in Jesus is fake, that it doesn’t work for everybody, or that the person is born to suffer. This is a lie from the devil.

There isn’t and there will never be such a thing for suffering created by the Lord. Those who serve God as sovereign do not practice wickedness. For practicing justice, they reign on Earth. What will you do from now on?

In Christ, with love,
