Topic: AGREE TO DISAGREE (05/04/17)
Your Highness, please pay close attention

Many years past before you were made King, there was a king, he was the Pharaoh of the land

He was mighty and powerful, however not for long

It was during his reign that the unimaginable happened,

The Sovereign King, showed up and made some demands

But HIS words were however disregarded, for though he listened, he openly challenged it

And even when he couldn’t put up a challenge and had to agree to HIS demands, he never really obeyed



The Sovereign King always had HIS way, so he did obey at some point when he had no choice.

There is a bit of a controversy about this story, for though your ancestor, the Pharaoh was a stubborn man,

He was placed in a situation orchestrated by the Sovereign King Himself, where he had no choice but to agree to disagree

The Sovereign King willed that he will disagree to HIS demands and he agreed to this without even realising



Now, your highness, you are king

Enthroned by the Sovereign King, who changed your status from a slave of the overthrown king and gave you more power over him

By grace, mercy, love, forgiveness and the shedding of blood, you were enthroned

But I have to add, that your highness is following the path of his ancestor, the Pharaoh

Though he does not find himself in the same situation as his ancestor, he is willingly choosing to the path of agreeing to disagree



When you were enthroned, the Sovereign King again requested that you renounce and let go of certain attitudes, desires and passions that embodied your previous status as a slave to the past king.

Many words have been spoken and instructions given, you have also been showed the effects of holding on to these things where some aspects of your life being ruined by holding on, but you refuse to let go

You oh King, are virtually still being ruled by the overthrown king because you pay no heed to the words of the Sovereign King

You keep having this invisible debate the Sovereign King where you agree to HIS every word privately and publicly, further proclaiming it,

But go right back and do the exact opposite

You agree with HIM knowing very well that you will still hold on to your own opinions and desires and work towards them.



The Sovereign King seeks to glorify Himself through you but your stubbornness will prevent HIM from using you to the fullest.

HE is the Sovereign King and will always show off HIS glory even in your stubbornness just like HE did in the days of the Pharaoh.

It depends on which side of the glory you choose to be,

You will either rejoice with HIM or watch others rejoice and jubilate as the Sovereign King is exalted in their lives



I know you agree with HIM publicly, but your every action, thought and deed disagrees with HIM

You are still set on your old ways despite His words to you

Your highness, let those ungodly passions go

Let the ungodly desires go

Let the ungodly deeds go

You are king, you need not to be fearful of what the world will think, say, do

Or even what you will loose

Remember it you, your highness and the Sovereign King against the world

That is the only way you will reign fully and successfully and, draw many unto the Sovereign King.



If you love HIM, choose to agree with HIM publicly and privately, in word and in deed.

May you live to please HIM, your highness.

You have a very interesting concept here. Your article got me thinking that by the way a person acts, he or she can agree to disagree with what the Lord is wishing to accomplish in and through us. In other words, that by being passive, a person in a sense is only tolerating but not truly accepting the Lord...that is convicting and very powerful. A place where I see potential for improvement is in making some of the sentences more concise and the thoughts more organized ) as well as paying closer attention to punctuation. I think this will help slow down the flow a little bit and your message , which is very powerful, will come through more clearly. Thank you for sharing this with us, I enjoyed reading this. God bless you.

Like Pharaoh, people can often find themselves at odds with the Sovereign King.

At first, I wondered if this was meant to be poetic. Check punctuation and word choice and meter.

The message is good, though. Humility is necessary for putting selfishness aside.

Even though God is sovereign, He does allow us to make decisions.

The formatting made this piece difficult for me to read. Before you hit submit, change all spacing issues on the preview screen.
