"Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common"
Acts 2:44 NKJV
On the 6th May, King Charles III was crowned at Westminster Abbey. It was a well planned day, with troops all in unison and dedication. In fact, everyone had worked so hard to bring about a most joyful occasion. However, one thing that could not be planned or orchestrated was the unity that was displayed. It was as this verse of scripture says, 'Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common.' There may well have been a small crowd of protestors denying Charles as their king, but, they were as I have written - a small crowd of people. The rest, gathered there and people from all over the world, were dedicated to celebrating our new Monarch. I was delighted to hear that throughout the service, the name of Jesus was uplifted and I hope and pray that many were affected by this and that the Holy Spirit will work in them.
As a nation, we have undergone many traumas - two World Wars, the crisis in Northern Island, the Falklands, Gulf, Bosnia and Afghanistan and Ukraine wars and other conflicts. We have suffered the problems of the EU, Covid, changes of prime ministers for one reason or another and the loss of our beloved Queen Elizabeth II. However, one thing is sure, as a nation, the Lord God has brought us threw everyone of them and, we are still standing.
When people stand together in unity, it is difficult for any enemy to penetrate. We become rock-solid and a people of power. When we stand together in unity with Jesus Christ, we become a super-power. We may get knocked down but, we don't stay down for long. We get up and fight the fight of faith. With God nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37).
Now we have a new Monarch - King Charles III and we need to pray as God taught us in 2 Chronicles 7:14: 'If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.' This is direct from the throne room of God and I believe that, if we turn to God and pray for King Charles III, He will then anoint him, fill him with His Holy Spirit and lead him to make godly choices and decisions and we will become a nation of believers as God wants.
However, it is down to us. We have a new Monarch; we have Jesus Christ who is willing to lead us under the mighty hand of God. We need to pray and turn to God and then watch Him work.
