Rev. 19:16 (NIV)  
    On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
king of kings and lord of lords.

Peter T. Forsythe was right when he said, "The first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom but its Master".
(Warren W. Wiersbe, The Integrity Crisis, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1991, p. 22.)

We fail to realize who we worship, the king of kings and lord of lords. Most of the time we want to be king and lord, we need to be reminded that Jesus is our master.  We would not want God to act as though He really was God. Our desire for God is that He act the way we want Him to. He is supposed to meet our needs, answer our prayers and bless our life. Just turn on the TV and you will see preacher after preacher telling their congregation what God is going to give them. The trouble with Christians is that they have the wrong view of God. He is not an order taker. The problem is that we really don’t see God for who He is.  So long as He stays in our little controlled environment we will acknowledge Him. If He will conform to our stipulations and answer our requests, we will give Him our attendance at church and some service for His church. We have a lot to learn.

People want a God that makes them happy, they don’t care how God feels. God is here to help us and bless us and help to enrich our lives, has anyone been reading the Bible lately? The problem with our thinking is that we have the wrong outlook on the God we claim to love, do we not know that we worship a God who will bring us to our knees and make us struggle. You may be worshipping a god but not the true God. You worship a golden calf created according to what is comfortable. He is a very tough God. If you have not discovered God to be tough, you may want to question who you are really serving. We want a God that will give us tranquility and harmony. No, the god that we serve is king of kings and lord of lords.

Well I agree with He is the king of kings and Lord of Lords!  :)

God lovingly works in many mysterious ways to communicate His great  message of love and forgiveness to people of all nations, tribes, languages and cultures, and in ways they can best understand.

There was a man from India who was a devout member of a Hindu sect and who had a profound sense of reverence for life. He would not kill an ant, a cow, or even a cobra, because to him, due to his belief in
reincarnation, he might be killing some past relative.  
During his visit to America, he had been confronted with the claims of Christ, yet he could not grasp the biblical truth that God actually visited this planet in the flesh in the person of Jesus Christ.  He could not comprehend how the Great Creator God of the Universe could become a man, or why.  
One day as he was walking in the field meditating upon this new truth about Jesus the Christ being God, he was wondering how this could possibly be.  He ran across a large anthill with thousands of little ants scurrying around in their busy like manner. He was standing there observing with wonder the activity of these ants, and what amazing creatures they are, when suddenly, he heard a tremendous and threatening noise. It was the noise of a large tractor plowing the fields.  As he looked up he discovered that the tractor would soon be plowing through that ant hill and thousands of ants would probably be killed and their home destroyed. Gripped with the same concern you and I would feel for hundreds of people trapped in a burning building, he became frantic.
He wanted to warn them of their impending destruction.
He thought to himself, "How can I warn them?  If I could write in the sand, they wouldn't be able to read it.  If I shouted to them, they wouldn't understand me. The only possible way I could communicate with them would be by becoming an ant, if I had that ability."
Then suddenly he had a revelation from the Spirit of God.  He saw why God, the Creator of the universe, chose to become one of us by becoming a man, in the Person of the man, Jesus of Nazareth.  
Through his experience with the ant hill, the light suddenly came on in the heart of that Hindu man, and now he understood the words of Paul:
"Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form" (Philippians 2:6-7, NLT).

Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
