Day 364 · Wednesday, December 30
"On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords."REVELATION 19:16
Hello, my friend… so glad you're with me today. This is By God's Call — day 364, King Of Kings.
"On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." Revelation 19:16.
This scene is unlike anything we've seen before in Revelation. This is no longer the slain Lamb, silent before those who sheared him. This is the rider on the white horse, returning with absolute authority. And at the highest point of this vision, John shows us a striking detail: there is a name written on Christ's robe and thigh. Visible. Public. Impossible to miss.
KING OF KINGS. Sit with that for a moment. Every king who has ever lived, every dynasty, every empire that rose and fell throughout history — all of them, without exception, answer to this title. There is no throne, however powerful it looks today, outside the reach of this authority. Earth's empires come and go; this King remains.
And LORD OF LORDS. That is not merely a respectful political title. It is absolute lordship — over life, over death, over every detail of eternity. No boss, no authority, no person who holds power over you deserves what only Christ deserves.
But notice something: this scene, in John's vision, is still to come in its full completeness. We haven't yet seen the kingdoms of this world visibly bow before him. But the name is already written. It is already decided. The final outcome of history is not still open, waiting to see who wins. It has already been decided — Christ wins.
That changes how we live today, my friend. Because sometimes we live as though the outcome were still uncertain. As though fear, anxiety, the chaos of the world could somehow come out on top. But the name is already written on his robe. KING OF KINGS. No matter what looks like it's in control right now — He is.
So I want to ask you something, gently: is there an area of your life you're still insisting on ruling yourself? Maybe your finances. Maybe a relationship. Maybe your plans for the coming year, which you already decided your own way before you even asked Him. Christ is King — but He does not invade thrones. He waits to be crowned there, by you, freely.
Today, I invite you to say out loud — not just think it, say it — that Christ is King over that specific area. Name it. And hand the throne over to the one who truly deserves to sit on it.
Stay close to God. Pray — then act. I'll see you tomorrow, my friend.
