”And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.“
1 Samuel 8:7-9 KJV
God answered Samuel, “Go ahead and do what they’re asking. They are not rejecting you. They’ve rejected Me as their King. From the day I brought them out of Egypt until this very day they’ve been behaving like this, leaving Me for other gods. And now they’re doing it to you. So let them have their own way. But warn them of what they’re in for. Tell them the way kings operate, just what they’re likely to get from a king.” In the new covenant, our King of kings is the Lord Jesus Christ. When we reject His Blood Sacrifice on our personal behalf, we are accepting some other authority. Until we declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, we cannot say, “Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”. Let’s declare Jesus Christ is Lord. Amen!
