KINGDOM LIFESTYLE

KINGDOM  LIFESTYLE

This topic is a topic that will make us to be a partaker of the kingdom of God while on earth. 

Because we have to experience the kingdom of God in this earth.

Without being a partaker here on earth someone cannot be in the heaven. 

Now let me give an explanation on the word 'KINGDOM' . 

Kingdom is comprises with two word king and dom. 

The king refers to the ruler, the one that have authority over everything. While dom refers to dominion.

And as you can see that the two words work together, a king have dominion over everything.

 

And we are a king from the beginning in the book of Genesis to the book of revelation. 

GENESIS 1:26

 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all b the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

The book of revelation 1:5-6

5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed a us from our sins in His own blood,

6 and has made us kings b and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Why is it that some did not have dominion over those thing again? Pride (SIN) 

When man sin in the garden of Eden they loss the the Dominion (POWER)

Now here is a solution to get the kingdom back. 

Matthew 18:1-9

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them,

3 and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me.

6 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

8 If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire.

9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.

I don't like to give a fearing message and have been trained and the Lord have give me the gift to preach the gospel. 

I don't want anyone to start daunting their salvation. 

Let have it in mind that Jesus has finished everything for us, all what we need is just to make LOVE, PRAY AND GIVE THANKS because we have been saved. 

Love is a greatest POWER that we can use to be a partaker of the kingdom of God in this earth. 

Now when is the kingdom of God? 

Luke 17:20-21

20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

21 nor will they say, `See here!` or `See there!` For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.

But how can we see the kingdom of God that is within us, because it is a realm. 

Let look how someone can be come a partaker of the kingdom of God here on earth.

 

 John 3:1-3

 1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.

2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

You see this man is a ruler of the Jews and for you to be a ruler you must understand the scripture very well. 

Let me tell you something, there is a different between believer and church member, because believers are not just people that have the faith to raise the death with the power in the name of the Lord. 

Believers are the people that believed in the resurrection and received the LIFE of God and  obey the word LOVE that Jesus gave us.

Because anyone that the LIFE/SEED is in him can never sin, how do I know? 

1john 3:8-9

8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

You see and a lot of time we sin we will say it is the work of devil, not knowing what the LIFE/SEED is not in us. 

That is why the book of 1Corinthians 6:17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

It our reasoning that have to change that we are one with God, and if we know that we are one with God then can God sin? NO. 

So what ever God is doing that is what we are also doing, but we need to be born again first like we should be born of God.  

You know I do tell people something that, we say Jesus came to put us through some things fine. 

Now by not telling us is it good to lie, commit adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness etc 

This is what the book of Hebrew 6:1-3

1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

3 And this we will do if God permits.

Let leave all the foundation doctrine of Christ and move unto perfection. How? 

Let know ourselves, is it good to do bad things, is it good to sin? NO. 

As we all know that the flesh is the enemy and is the one that makes us sin a lot. 

How can we go about it? 

 Galatians 2:19-21

19 For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God.

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.

This is when we have already received the LIFE and christ is in us, that we no longer live but christ live in us. 

Now what are the sign that we have received the LIFE and we no longer live but christ live in us. 

The LOVE is what we need first in our life 

Galatians 5:22 - 23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

The rest are secondary signs 

This are the secondary sign. 

Mark 16:17

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues.

The new tongues is also part of the primary sign, because there is a different between speak in tongues and speak in New tongues. 

The both are language that people must understand and the both are given by the spirit, but speak in tongues means been in spirit and the Lord give utterance, while speak in New tongues means when someone become born again and the worldly word are not in his or her mouth again. 

This are the perfection and the kingdom lifestyle.
