ROYALTY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER … Jesus-Christ-God is KING OF (us) KINGS.  Part 2.

 

(Rev.17:14)  These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. (Rev.20:6) First-resurrection saint-son-priests reign with Christ …remember it is kings/royalty that  reign! We will investigate what it could mean to be a king that reigns successfully!Development of kings from overcoming princes. Overcoming self and religion to fulfill the title of called, chosen and faithful. You will specifically know that you have been apprehended for the royal calling because you are:-

1.  CALLED. Many are called but few are chosen (Matt.22:14) One old comment reads thus, ...few choose to be chosen (Thayer). This calling is your vision. [‘chosen’ = choice].

Back in the days of individual shops for farm produce, one would see a display of apples, neatly stacked with a sign on them “choice” taken from the supply box. They would be without blemish, bruise or be undeveloped in size.

2. CHOSEN. (2Thess. 2:13)  But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation (of the end result of the King’s perogative.) through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: (14)  Whereunto he called you by our gospel (gospel of the kingdom), to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. To be chosen, it is a requirement that the called ones ACCEPT that call.

3. FAITHFUL. Full of faith. Confident trust in seeing one’s belief come to reality. Receiving one’s calling in love and anticipation from Him that is faithful to declare His word and see it (your calling) through to its desired end (1 Thess. 5:24). All you princes ... answering this call now releases love and trust and dependency on the KIng, our Father, by which you will truly be faithful as He is faithful.   t.b.c.
