Kingdom Ins and Outs
If you rebel against the the King of Heaven by refusing the assignment the King has given you in life, you are rebelling against your own value, your own identity, your own purpose.
If you rebel against your true identity and purpose in life, you are rebelling against the King of Heaven. (Romans 6:17-23)
It doesn’t matter whether you are rebelling knowledgeably, as Jonah did, or ignorantly, as Saul did before He was struck down by the Light. Failure to walk in your true identity is failure to walk in the Kingdom. We should ask many times daily, “Who do you say I am right now, Lord?” and “Where is the best place to take my next step, and what is the best thought to have next?”
