THE TRUE AND REAL LION KING!
Back when my boys were still at home, there was a movie called The Lion King!
The movie is about the King Lion who had a male cub who was set up to take the place of his Father as the king and ruler of the pride.
In the movie, the little lion was opposed by his uncle, who tried to destroy the cub so he (the uncle) would inherit the throne:
The uncle had taken the cub to a far place and thought he had killed the cub so he would kill his brother who was the ruler of the pride. He did kill the brother and took the place as King of the pride for a while:
As the movie goes on, the little cub was saved by the hyenas and soon found out what his uncle had done.
The cub who is now full grown ends up fighting and killing his uncle and taking his rightful place as king of the pride:
Today's message is about Jesus, the true lion King who defeated Satan (the devil) and took back his throne of King of Kings and Lord of Lords:
Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords because he defeated the devil and took back the throne as to speak:
As we look again at the movie, we see a similarity of the cubs uncle who was constantly trying to do things to destroy the cub so he would get the throne.
Well the devil was doing the same, he was trying to tempt Jesus to jump off of cliffs and kill himself so he (satan) could take the throne and rule the earth:
The devil is trying to do all he can to destroy mankind because we Christians represent Christ the King of Kings and Lord of Lords:
When Jesus (the King of Kings) left the earth, he made us (who are born again) Kings and priest:
Revelations 5:10 --- And has made us unto our God Kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth:
Jesus is the King of Kings, but we are made in his likeness and we are now supposed to rule the earth:
If you made Jesus the Lord of your life, you are Kings and Priests: You must be like the cub in the movie and grow up in Christ and his word, so you can take your rightful place:
I find that many of us (me included) live way below the people that were created to rule this earth: We have been given authority, but we don’t use that authority and drive the devil out of our lives: We just sit there and take beating after beating until some have given up:
We must realize that Jesus (the true King) lives in each and everyone of us and is there to help in time of need:
Your mouth is the weapon you are to use to defeat satan’s tactics and defeat him in your own life: Yes Jesus defeated him and now sits on the throne, but satan keeps trying to convince us that he is in control: Much like the uncle in the lion king movie, he was trying to convince everyone that he the true lion king:
We must, most of all
1) Know who we are and
2) Be who we are in Christ
God has already given us the authority to use the name of Jesus: That name must be used as a weapon against the enemy:
The name of Jesus is extremely powerful: In the movie the Lion King, the very name Mufusa was powerful that when some one said Mufusa is coming the other lions would bow down:
Well we should bow to the name of Jesus, not out of fear, but out of respect of who he is:
That name is more powerful than human beings can imagine and yet it was given to us to use in order to defeat satan in our lives:
Say, Jesus over and over and as you do, just quietly think of how powerful that name really is:
If you are reading this message and have not made the king of kings your King yet just stop everything and say out loud from your heart “Jesus I accept you as my Lord and Savior today, come into my heart and save me:” “I call you Lord and master and I set myself to hear your voice and obey it today.”
Now you are in the Lion of the tribe of Judah’s pride, you cannot be harmed as long as you stay in that pride.
You are covered by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus Christ your Lord) Get into the word of God and find out who you really are once you have made Jesus Lord:
Jesus is the true Lion King, he is king of our hearts
REMEMBER: JESUS IS LORD!
