There is no doctrine more comforting, or more full of encouragement—than the doctrine of God’s Absolute Sovereignty… No opinion poll or vote was taken… God—by sovereign decree made Jesus, both Lord and Christ, King of all the earth – Ephesians 1:19-22. Christ’s Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and His dominion is forever and ever… As the King of His people—Jesus Christ makes regal provisions for us… He preserves and protects us against the spiritual battle that rages all around us.
‘Fearful Christian, how we tend to quiver when the world rattles its sabers. Its mocking alone can make us afraid. We need to lift our eyes above the battlefield (of) earth with its impotent rebellion against Jehovah and His Christ. The foundation of our world is in a quiet throne room… The appointed King is reigning in His church, on Zion’s holy hill. God’s purposes are standing fast. His plan for the world is in no jeopardy. His King is reigning and His kingdom is being built on schedule, despite the raucous rebels of the earth.’ – W. Chantry, Praises For The King Of Kings (p.29-30)
