The transcription is a radio devotion discussing the topic of Jesus as the King of Glory. It starts with a prayer and a confession from Joshua chapter 1 verse 8. The focus of the episode is on the Easter series titled "Chronicles of the Cross," specifically the subject of "Here Comes Our King." The scripture reading is from Matthew chapter 21, verses 1-12, where Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey. The devotion reflects on how Jesus's appearance may not have seemed kingly to some, but his mission as a king is different from worldly expectations. It encourages listeners to accept Jesus as the King of their lives and concludes with a prayer. Open up ancient gates, open up ancient doors, and let the King of Glory enter. Who is the King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord invisible in battle. Shalom precious one, thank you for joining us here on Radio HCI today. We are Deacon and Deaconess Kilsen from the Harvest Chapel International, Denyame Kumasi, and we counted great joy to be coming your way with today's episode of our Morning Glory Devotion. Let us kindly say a word of prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this precious time of standing under your feet. Kindly make our heart receptive of your truth. In Jesus name, Amen. Amen. Let us kindly take our confession from Joshua chapter 1 verse 8. Joshua chapter 1 verse 8. This book of the Lord shall not depart from my mouth, but I shall meditate the next day and write that I may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous, and then I will have good success. Amen. Today we present to you our Easter series titled, Chronicles of the Cross. Chronicles of the Cross. And in this first episode, we focus on the subject, Here Comes Our King. Here Comes Our King. Our scripture reading shall be taken from Matthew chapter 21 the verse 1 to 12. Matthew chapter 21 the verse 1 to 12. I will be reading from the New Living Translation. As Jesus and the disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the town of Bethage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sends two of them on ahead. Go into the village over there, he said. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey tied there with eight cows beside it. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone asks what you are doing, just say, The Lord needs them, and he will immediately let you take them. This took place to fulfill the prophecy that said, Tell the people of Jerusalem, Look, your king is coming to you. He is humble riding on a donkey, riding on a donkey's court. The two disciples did as Jesus commanded. They brought the donkey and the coals to him and filled their garments over the coals, and he sat on it. Most of the crowd spread their garments on the road ahead of him, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Jesus was in the center of the procession, and the people all around him were shouting, Praise God for the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Praise God in highest heaven! The entire city of Jerusalem was in an uproar as he entered. Who is this, they asked, and the crowds replied, It's Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee. Jesus entered the temple and began to drive out all the people buying and sending animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. The Lord add his blessings to the reading and hearing of his word. Praise be to God. Amen. Chronicles of the Cross. Here comes our King. Here comes Jesus riding triumphantly into Jerusalem. Does his appearance look anything like a king? Riding on a bold colt with no chariot. There is nothing royal about his appearance. Yes, the crowds hail him as King, but don't be deceived. Quite a number of them are not certainly sure he is whom they address him to be. Just as seen in the questions they ask of his identity in the verse then. For in a few days they call for his death. He camps in Shulmik with no pomp or pride, no entourage of elders or sub-chiefs, and no one calls out his titles or proclaims his laurels of success. He confuses them them all when he goes into the temple and causes a stir. As King, one would have expected him to be calm, and worse case, allow his battalion of soldiers to do the dirty work. But see him, all by himself, turn over tables and throw out the money changers. Maybe to some he looks like a rebel, maybe worse off than Barabbas. No wonder they preferred Barabbas to him. If really a king of the Jews, he should have directed his anger rather towards the Romans and not the priests of the temple. He should have fought for the liberty of the Israelites, delivered them from paying taxes, and made Israel the greatest of all nations. Failing to do all of these was reason enough for the people not to accept him as king. Today, Jesus may not come in such apparel, riding amongst us on a borrowed coat, for us to judge whether or not he is a befitting king. But several in our lives, there are moments where he seems not to portray what we want him to be. We pray he becomes our deliverer from suffering, but rather he gives us strength to endure. We pray he becomes our healer, but rather he calms our anxieties. We pray he gives us wealth, but rather he teaches us to be content. And many more expectations unmet. All these and more may sometimes cause us to question his claim to be king. However, Jesus, just as he answered before Pilate, declared that of a truth, he is king, but not of a kingdom of this world. As such, his priorities, plans, and purposes are completely not like those of this world. He is a king with a different mission, a mission to save man from the bondage of treacherous sin. He is on a mission to bring all who have subscribed to his kingdom into the position of the dominion we once lost. His ways are obviously not our ways. And so, he may not always meet our expectations. He is working on weightier matters in our lives. That in the fullness of time, he will deliver on his promise to all those who are of his kingdom, making them ready to be with the Father in eternity. He owes this promise to only those who accept him as Lord, Savior, and King of their lives. He invites you to subscribe to his kingdom today. He invites you to accept him as King of your life. And so, in this season of Easter, let us boldly declare to the world, here comes our King. God richly bless you. Let us kindly take our memory verse for today. Our memory verse is taken from Matthew chapter 21 the verse 5. Matthew chapter 21 the verse 5. Please, I will be reading from the New Living Translation. Tell the people of Jerusalem, look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, riding on a donkey, riding on a donkey's colt. Tell the people of Jerusalem, look, your King is coming to you. He's riding on a donkey, riding on a donkey's colt. Amen. Let us kindly end on a note of prayer. Our Heavenly Father, we are grateful for this revelation of your son's identity as King of a higher kingdom. Even though you may not always come in ways we expect, we receive grace to continually subscribe to your kingdom and to accept your rulership over our lives as King in Jesus's name. Amen. Precious one, just as we've learned today, our Lord and King may not come in ways we expect. Nonetheless, he still remains King. Let us do all we can to accept his rulership as King over our lives. God richly bless you. Happy Easter. Shalom. you
