Why do we build a throne for God?

-
We often sing:
"Jesus, we enthrone you..
We proclaim you are king
And as we worship fill the throne
Come lord Jesus and take your place"
Don Moen — Jesus, we enthrone you
In heaven, God reigns and sits on His throne, where there is true righteousness and holiness, and where God’s reality, justice and beauty are present in a tangible, perceptible form. He is not merely a god {with certain function} amongst some group of supernatural beings. He is The God. The most exalted, supreme being. God Most High (El Elyon).
This is how He revealed Himself through Melchizedek, the Priest-King of Salem to our forefather-in-the-faith, Abraham, through whom the lineage of the Messiah began. It was with this revelation that the restoration of humanity, restoration for all people began.

Apostolic Instructions + Booklets, ebooks + The Book of the Blog   Apostolic Instructions on Prayer, and the technical meaning of "Christ". First of all, then, I urge 1 that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone 2 , for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life 3 in all godliness and dignity. This is good, and it pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For 5 there is one God and one mediator between God and humanity, Christ Jesus, Himself human, who gave Himself — a ransom for all 6 , a testimony at the proper time. ... I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument... 7 1Tim 2:1-6,8 (Holman C.S.B.) Notes 1 "I emphatically tell you.." It's not a command but a strong suggestion with apostolic authority. 2 "for...

Our Father in the Heaven

"And because you are sons [and daughters], God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”" Galatians 4:6 It is a well-known prayer even for non-Christians. However, not many people know that it is basically a prayer pattern and not a mantra that loses its meaning after a while. Many people today pray it auto­matically. Jesus the King prays it systematically . We need to rephrase some of the following expres­sions to make their meaning clearer.  We must see that Jesus Christ showed this pattern to his disciples to give them a framework for their daily prayer. It is a preference & reference too: for Jesus, the key issue is that God's names be known and His Kingdom be here on Earth in the splendour and power as it is in Heaven. In other words - that the Heaven would touch Earth and God's restoration would be at work. When Heaven touches the Earth our perspective is restored....

Peter and Paul — leadership for greater unity

Peter and Paul. Two men from radically different backgrounds. Two people whom the Lord Jesus called to the same most noble and most difficult ministry. We know their sermons. We know their martyrdoms. We know their letters, copied and re-copied for two thousand years, sitting in the same Bible, side by side, world without end. But there is a small, easily-missed sentence buried in one of those letters — a sentence that tells us something almost nobody preaches on. Paul writes, almost in passing, that three years after his conversion, three years after the beginning of his devoted services he went up to Jerusalem, and he stayed with Peter for fifteen days. Fifteen days. Two men. One place, one house, in one city, for two full weeks. And Scripture tells us almost nothing about what happened in that time... ... After Pentecost, Peter becomes the recognized voice of the Jerusalem church — preaching to the crowds (Acts 2:1...
