The apostle Paul writes that when Jesus comes again, \u201cHe will manifest in his own time, he who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords\u201d (1 Timothy 6:15, NKJV)<\/em>. Paul is saying, in essence, \u201cWhen Christ comes, he is going to show everybody who is Lord!\u201d<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter what things look like on the outside. Everything may seem out of control, and it may look as if the devil has taken power. However, the truth is that God has put all things under Jesus\u2019s feet, and he remains the king over everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor by him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through him and for him\u201d (Colossians 1:16)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This passage proves that almighty God has appointed Jesus Christ as Lord, and all dominion has been given into his hands. Yet all around we see our society and government dethroning Christ, refusing to acknowledge his authority and kingship. We are removing God from our schools and courts and ignoring him in the making of our laws. Now, we are reaping a terrible harvest.<\/p>\n

I believe America\u2019s rejection of Christ\u2019s lordship is the reason behind all the bloodshed, violence, racial hatred, moral decay, drug abuse, and outbreak of deadly sexual diseases in our society. Lawmakers, educators, and the media have made God an unspeakable subject.<\/p>\n

However, my concern goes beyond America\u2019s rejection of Jesus\u2019s authority. I believe the problem of Christ\u2019s dethroning is much worse and much more tragic because it is happening in his Church. It\u2019s true! Our exalted Lord is being dethroned in churches throughout the land and in the lives of a multitude of believers.<\/p>\n

It is understandable that ungodly people would want to dethrone Christ. But how it must grieve God to see Christ dethroned by those who call themselves by his name.<\/p>\n

Beloved, scripture tells us that God the Father has enthroned Christ as king over all nations and all creation and as Lord over the Church. \u201cHe is the head of the body, the church\u2026that in all things he may have the preeminence\u201d (Colossians 1:18)<\/em>.<\/p>\n
