Lesson 467: THE KING AND HIS SCEPTRE

INTRODUCTION:
So far we have looked at the King and his Crowns, his throne and his Kingdom. Today, we want to look at something very crucial to the king; the sceptre. May the Lord bless us richly as we study in Jesus name, Amen.

1. THE SCEPTRE IS EQUIVALENT TO THE KING
The Sceptre is equivalent to the king. When you hear of the Sceptre, you are hearing of the King. Because the Sceptre is the quiet but powerful symbol of authority of the King. For us as Christian kings, ours sceptre is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Gen. 49:10; Num.24:17; Est. 4:10-11; Ph. 2:9-11; Ps.20:5,7,8 1Sam.17:45; Rev. 12:10-11; Lev. 17:11, 1John 1:7; Isa. 59:1-2; John.1:1; 14; Ps. 119:89, Isa. 40:8; Matt. 4:1-11

2. HOLINESS: THE BACKBONE OF THE SCEPTRE
Holiness is the backbone of the Christian’s sceptre because you cannot enthrone a King with fault or weakness whereas the sceptre is no effect in the hand of a backslider.
Heb. 1:8, John 14:30; Dan. 6:3-4; 20-22; Eccl.7:9; Pro.6:25-29; 1Sam. 15:10-24; Pro. 29:25; Heb. 10:29-31.
