The King of the Kingdom of God 4-25-06

Good morning, Lord Jesus. "Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors! That the King of glory may come in" (Psalm 24:7). Come in to Your kingdom in my heart in deeper measure today than yesterday and in deeper measure tomorrow than today. ... "He said therefore, 'What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden; it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.' And again He said, 'To what should I compare the kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened' " (Luke 13:18-21). You are always teaching us about the kingdom of God. And one truth about this kingdom is that it is always growing into maturity, into fullness, into its full expression. Like the see that grows into a tree and like the yeast that rises to leaven the whole loaf, it is not stagnant and still, but growing and alive. And as we give ourselves to You, You are the King of the kingdom in our hearts in an ever-increasing measure. Your authority and Your rule increases in our lives as we submit to Your will and Your ways. "For, in fact, the kingdom of God is within you" (Luke 17:21). Lord Jesus, You are the King of kings and the Lord of lords; You are the King of the kingdom of God. You are the King of glory and the King of my heart. Increase as I decrease (John 3:30). Let me grow more each day, as Your kingdom grows in me and in all those who submit to Your Kingdom and Your Lordship, "until all of us come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged this day!
