That is kind of a double negative. At least, it would be unless you meant why is it not appropriate for me to not say I am a king, which I do not think you meant to say, as that would not pertain to this discussion. You just basically asked why it is appropriate for you to make that statement. Double negatives render the clause (or sentence) affirmative.
Anyway, assuming you meant, why is it not okay for me to call myself king, here is your answer:
1. I really do not care if you call yourself king. I am merely pointing out the humor in you quoting that oft-repeated bible quote to someone else, despite you obviously being prideful enough to call yourself a king.
2. I assume it is a misnomer, given that you are statistically unlikely to be one of the very few male monarchs left on this planet.
3. It is hubris to call yourself a king if you are, in fact, no such thing.
Again, I do not care. I'm just pointing out how silly it is to call someone else prideful whilst calling yourself "thaking."
