King Stage - 40, 50, 60 year olds
What is your kingdom? A king knows he has been entrusted with
something and someone(s).
A kingdom is your home and can be your company and your
ministry. The responsibilities are at a maximum at this
stage.
A king is a good father. I believe you. I see you.
A king launches princes and princesses into the world.
Some kings are going through difficulties in their kingdom -
divorce, loss of business. How do you handle the disappointments in
this stage?
A king’s influence is on display. The stakes are higher.
Things are compounded during the king stage. Mistakes affect more
people. Victories affect more people.
A king knows who the King of kings is and is subject to
Him.
A king needs sages and warriors. Advice from those who have
relinquished authority and then authority over those who seek
greater authority.
You can bring your sorrows to those who are under you. A king
brings his concerns to other kings or sages.
Conflict avoidance mode is not healthy for a king.
A king knows that his life is for others. He is providing an
environment for others to grow.
A king is not concerned with getting credit. A king does care
about who gets blamed.
A king looks for ways to affirm his subjects.
Whatever wounds are made in previous stages, they are carried
into later stages.
A king’s kingdom may grow or shrink depending on situations of
one’s life. Some kings need to go through a pruning season.
The story of Robert the Bruce, the king of Scotland, is a
story of redemption and conviction.
