FEAR GOD AND HONOR THE KING

Today, I would like to clarify many many things because there are so many text messages we have received and they were directed at me so I’ll answer those text messages that say what is my stand today for our Leadership, for what is happening, and for the very hot issues that are coming out and you know the issues that came out

I will tell you the bottom line of how and where I stand all of these days. We always were for the government. All of these years my stand including SMNI is pro-government, pro nation-building. We are always for the nation. So my answer to those queries is “How do I stand, where do I stand?” I always stand to obey the word of God.

What the Word of God says for me is final. Because I am an Appointed Son of God. And my role is to fulfill what the Scripture says. And what the Scripture says, whatever it is, I will follow. That is where I always stand. That is the bottom line of the Appointed Son of the KJC and of SMNI, our broadcast media who are broadcasting all of my TWP, and where I also broadcast my views, opinions, and whatever about issues.

I would like to tell you that the bottom line of my decisions on every issue is based on the word of God. What the word of God says I will obey and I will follow, no matter what.

This is my stand, and I will title it, “Fear God and Honor the King.”

Brothers and sisters, regardless of our opinions or reservations, let us rally behind our leaders.

It is the Will of the Father, at the same time, our duty as Kingdom Citizens to perform for the well-being of our nation and properly submit to the governing authorities. No matter what our convictions, viewpoints or reservations, we will rally behind our leaders.

The duly elected president, President BongBong Marcos, Vice President Sara Zimmerman Duterte, Senate President Miguel Zubiri, and the speaker of the house, Martin Gomez Romualdez, and its representatives and the appointees of the cabinet because their powers are ordained by God. Where can we find that? I will read it to you.

That’s why I said, the bottom line is for me, to obey the Scriptures no matter what.

Romans 13:1-4 says,

1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

Romans 13:1-4

Hebrews 13:17 says,

17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves…

That is very clear.

17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Hebrews 13:17

Brothers and sisters, every administration, everyone who became President, and everyone that has been elected by the people is covered by these verses. No matter what color they are. When they are elected to that office, we have to honor them, respect them, and obey them.

The decisions and policies of the President whom we have elected must be respected, regardless of our opinions, reservations, or convictions, because he is the Chief Architect of our foreign and domestic policy, the Chief Executive, and the Commander-in-Chief of our country. Whether we agree with him or not, we will follow, support and obey him. We will submit to him because it is for our own good As the Scripture has sayeth.

1 Peter 2:13-17 says

[13] Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

[14] Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

[15] For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

[16] As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

[17] Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

1 Peter 2:13-17

“To Honor the King” means to promote peace and stability of his rule or administration by paving cheerful obedience to his laws.

It is our duty to affectionately interest ourselves in whatever concerns the honor, success, and security of our government.

We should also assert and defend against all attempts to endure them, and the so-called enemies who would destroy and subvert them.

Proverbs 24:21. The Bible says,

[21] My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

Proverbs 24:21

Titus 3:1-2 says,

[3] Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,

[2] To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.

Titus 3:1-2

The mandate of SMNI for nation-building, it is always for nation-building.

While there may be differing views or opinions from our journalists and broadcasters, they are entitled to freedom of expression and freedom of speech.

It does not necessarily reflect the general position of the network, however, it is the editorial policy of SMNI to uphold what is good and to protect the greater interest of our nation.

SMNI’s job is to promote what is good, especially the successes and achievements of the current administration, we are for nation-building, we are for construction, never for destruction.

We have our own opinions and reservations but when it comes to loyalty to our President which translates to loyalty to our country, we remain patriotic to whoever we have elected into office as long as they are in power we will support them, we will honor them and we will obey them.

If the President will tell me right now that whatever it is that he tells me and it is a policy that comes from him, whatever my reservations are they will be set aside, I will follow him as the President that we have elected in this country.

That is the scriptures. That is what we follow and it is scriptural.

Let us forget what we have heard about them and support them in their decisions which are for the benefit of our country.

If you accuse someone on social media or anyone for that matter or any leader of that country for that matter, it remains hearsay and gossip until it is proven in a court of law. That is my stand. Because we are a country of laws, we are a country that follows the laws.

What I care about is that they are the leaders of our country. We have to protect them. We have to honor them. We have to follow them. And, we have to support them. And, we have to pray for them.

As long as they are there, God has ordained them to be there. Let us respect them, honor them, submit to them.

Listen to this, Romans 13:5 says,

“Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience’s sake.” 

Romans 13:5

The president as the leader of our government is elected to create a just, peaceful, and orderly society. That is his own accountability. Our responsibility is be subject, obey and submit to the laws of the land being implemented by our Chief Executive, our decision maker.

Whatever decisions he makes, whether it makes us feel well or not, as long as he decided for it, we obey.

Whoever we put there, you may look at him as a devil or an angel, as long as we put him there in that election and we elected him. Respect him not because of his person but because of the office. Respect the office of the President. Respect the office of the Vice President. Respect the office of the Senate President. Respect the office of the Speaker of the House.

So the president as the leader of our government is selected to create a just, peaceful and orderly society. 

God is going to guide him in all that he decides for our country. We will obey him. Support him and uphold his decisions to respect the order of authority that comes from the Father based on Romans 13.

Let us not speak evil against rulers, Exodus 22:28 says,

do not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.

Exodus 22:28

Do not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people.

Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed chamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter

Ecclesiastes 10:20

Let us rally behind our president, let us unite for the success of this administration, and let us pray for our nation.

1 Timothy 2:1-2, this is what it says:

1, I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2, For kings,  in our country that is the president  For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3, for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God and our savior.

1 Timothy 2:1-3

Our fervent prayers should ascend to the Almighty Father for the preservation and prosperity of our nation, we pray that the Father will bless the president, protect him and his family and direct his counsels, guide his undertakings with success. And make him an instrument of promoting the interest of our country, and the well-being, safety, and security of his people. We, as a Kingdom Nation, are one in obedience to the Scriptures that I have just read and mentioned to you.

Talking about loyalty to our country, I am always for peace. But if our president will declare war against whoever is perceived to be our enemies, I will be the first one to support him. If he recruits me, I will be in his army. And whoever he deemed as our enemy, I will be there to support him, and the Kingdom Nation are one with me to fulfill what the Scripture says.

Our duty and responsibility is to honor, to obey, to submit to the governing authorities because they are ordained of God.
