The Glory Of Kings

I have been wondering lately why there are so much differences between those believers who based their faith in their own performance and those who based their faith in Jesus' finished work.  I observed that towards the end of their discussions be it in Facebook or in forum..., they usually end up "killing" each other with "the sword" in their hand. This wondering has prompted me to ask the Lord for answers...

The Lord is always faithful. He is never too early or too late in what He wanted to deliver. As I was reading Proverbs chapter 25 this morning, I got my questions asked at the 2nd verse of this chapter. 

Proverbs 25:2 ~ It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. 

God had conceal the mystery of the Gospel and it takes a king to search out this matter. When God preached the Gospel story to Abraham, he believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. The mystery is in the Gospel. The key word is believing the Gospel. This believing system led this righteous Abraham to be a king. 

On the other hand, Moses wrote about the righteousness that is by the law saying: "Whoever does these things will live by them." Therefore, in Moses point of view, performance is the key word and consequently, this leads to a life of a servant.

What the Lord had done at the cross had set us free for the Spirit we received does not make us slaves, so that we live in fear again; rather, the Spirit we received brought about our adoption to sonship and by Him we cry, "Abba, Father." To reign like a king in our life, we must continue to receive God's abundant provision of grace and the gift of His righteousness.

No wonder there are so much differences between those who are righteous by faith and those who are righteous by work. According to the Word of God, only those who are righteous by faith are addressed as kings like father Abraham. Those who are righteous by work are addressed as servants like Moses. No wonder kings see things differently from servants. No wonder kings speaks differently from servants. No wonder there are so much disagreements because they all see things from a different platforms... i.e. the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.

So, if you see like a king and talk like a king, do not be "downhearted" by the reactions shown by servants because they just cannot comprehend what a king like you, see and talk! God has concealed the mystery of the Gospel for kings and only kings not servants, are given the wisdom to search out this matter.

‎Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness (Jesus' righteousness or righteous by fauth, not righteous by work)  like the stars forever and ever. (Danial 12:3 NASB)

I did not notice that today is 25th of February. .. meaning 25:2 or Proverbs 25:2... until just now, before I decided to note down this revelation as a post in this blog...

Wow... What a wonderful revelation from the Lord from the right chapter @ the right time... It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.
