Inner Kingship of 1 Kings 14:31
1 Kings 14:31 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 1 Kings 14 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Rehoboam dies and is buried in the city of David, and his son Abijam succeeds him. The mention of his mother Naamah hints at lineage and influence.
Neville's Inner Vision
Behold, the text speaks in outward terms—death, burial, succession, and lineage. Yet in Neville's key, these are the imagery of your inner life: the old belief-identity (Rehoboam) dies and is buried in the city of David—the throne of your true self. The line of succession, Abijam, is the rising state of consciousness that now governs your inner world. The mother Naamah, an Ammonitess, signals the blending of inherited, possibly foreign, contraries into your current self; in your Kingdom of God, these are the old habitual triggers, memories, and doubts that still color your sense of self. As Abijam takes the throne in his stead, you are invited to revise and enthrone a new ruling idea: I AM consciousness, reigning in place of fear, lack, or limitation. The Kingdom expands as you identify with the I AM as king, not the outward persona. This is not history but a demonstration of your inner sovereignty, where awareness itself rules and names the terms of your life.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and picture the old self like Rehoboam stepping off the throne and dissolving into light. Then see a fresh king Abijam rising within your chest, and feel I AM reigning now.
