“In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes”.
Judges 17:6KJV

In every domain is a king ruling in his kingdom. God is the king of heaven and earth, he rules over all; His kingdom has no ends. The Psalmist says, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory”. (Psalm 24:7,8,10) Satan isn’t a king, he is just a prince of this world; a prince over the demons and his servants; he rules over anyone who loves the world and the things of it. There are laws bounding every kingdom. In the absence of a king is commotion. Within the hearts of most people even Christians are the wish that there had been no laws, king, kingdom, judgements, punishments or hell. So that they will freely live their lives in accordance with their wills.
The Bible says, “All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weights the spirits”.(Prov. 16:2) What man sees right in his own eyes can be evil in God’s sight. The Israelites refused to obey the laws of God, who is truly their King even in the absence of earthly king. They made graven and molten images to worship them and they deemed this as right in their own sight. Satan, the prince of this world was ruling over them. It’s either you’re ruled by the king — Christ Jesus or Satan, for you can’t serve two masters, either you love one and hate the other”
Know beyond the shadows of doubt that even if you think that the Lord isn’t ruling in your life, there’s a sure judgement after death; you’ll account for all the things done in your lifetime. It’s best for you to allow the king in your life and obey His commandments before that day.
“There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”(Prov. 14:12).
