OT Promise 234: Jesus Never Fails

234. Jesus Never Fails

2 Chronicles 7:18 Then will I establish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.

The man is also God. That God-man will not fail. That man is king forever. Israel is the People of God. They also are forever in the Kingdom under Jesus’ faithful, good, wise, and beneficent rule. Forever. All other kingdoms, thrones, empires, powers and authorities will fail and come to an end. The words and promises of God never end. God’s kingly rule is world without end. The earthly, political kingdom of Israel came to an end, and a man on the throne to be ruler in Israel did fail, although sons were born to the successive kings of Israel even during the Exile and beyond until the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.

The throne of the kingdom is established forever, and a man will not fail to be ruler of the eternal, spiritual kingdom of God, after Jesus was born, lived, died, rose again, and ascended to the throne of God. This ruler, and His kingdom, will never fail or come to an end. He will not be dethroned. The kingdom will not be overthrown. The Enemy will never cease attempting to do so until he is thrown into the lake of fire. However, Satan will relentlessly continue to try  to take down the throne and the kingdom that is in each individual believer’s heart.

Jesus is on the throne of my heart, ruling His kingdom from there. We have the promise that the attempts of the Enemy to dislodge the King of the heart and destroy the kingdom within will fail. Our King Jesus will hold on to the throne of our lives, keep the kingdom in us, never give up, and never fail. We are in safe and secure hands. We do not let fears, worries, and negative emotions disrupt or disturb the kingdom reign of God in our hearts and lives. We live forever with Jesus.
