Denying People The Kingdom Of God Unknowingly

In Galatians 2:20 Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit said "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." A man that makes such a statement is simply saying he does not belong to the kingdom of the world but the Kingdom of God, in which Jesus Christ is the King. He is subject to the dictates of the King and the customs of the Kingdom. This simply means, on a daily basis our lives, activities, attitudes must portray this Kingdom. If it does not then we are not part of the Kingdom, something else is living in us. But as we live our lives for Jesus Christ, we experience God working through us daily to lead others into His Kingdom.

Friend, it is not until you climb a podium before you can lead men to Christ, but on a daily basis, our lives: how we live, what we say and how we act must bring men in. Tough? No! To do this effectively, we must return to Him daily for instructions. You might say why or it is cumbersome. If you are subject to an authority you cannot do anything without having authorization from that authority, so it is with the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, by the same actions and speech we can shut the doors of the Kingdom of God to others.

Are we willing to submit to His leadership over our lives and then allow others do same? Or do we think we can get in anyway, on our own terms, just as long as we make 'some' changes and 'give' Him some control? When a man comes to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour, the Kingdom of God becomes a reality in his life. From that significant moment forward, the believer must continue to allow the Lord Jesus Christ complete rule and reign over his life.

Unfortunately, the god of this world is making endless and tireless efforts to make us ineffective for the Kingdom of God by weighing us down with unfavorable 'today' circumstances, getting into ungodly associations, pursuance of 'seemingly' urgent issues, getting very busy over so many mundane things, thus neglecting the most important thing in life - THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN US! Remember He said we must seek first His Kingdom, His way of doing things and living right life before Him daily. This we must consciously do. Without us knowing, God is using this seemingly everyday actions of us to people His Kingdom. Allow Him by submitting totally to Him!

You Are What Matters Most To Jesus Christ

 "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]" (Genesis 17:1, AMP).        A while back, I overheard a conversation between two young men; both were wondering how a person can be and remain holy in a world that daily encourages you to exhibit and enjoy every self-indulgent pleasure one desires. Of course, they knew the Scripture in Psalm 119:9-11, which describes how a young man can keep his way pure, but they feel it is increasingly becoming difficult to discern the way of the Lord from the world system. To them, many Pastors and children of God have been won over by the kingdom of darkness to subvert the principles of God as written in the Bible.           They were not wrong, in light of some of the teaching coming from the pulpits! The above ...

Finding True Love

         From the beginning of time, God Almighty has sought various means of communicating His thoughts and desires to humanity. Through the very things He has created around us, He clearly reveals His divine nature and our predestined purposes as the object of His love to those who care enough to pay attention.  His goal has always been to set men free from all that limits them from experiencing an abundant life. There is no doubt that the present life as we know it, with all its hurts, pains and heartbreak was never meant to be this way; indeed the enemy has done this.         Friends, if He created the earth with hidden and precious treasures, then how much more you? The enemy, on the other hand, has worked overtime to create things that bind, blind, limit, and ultimately stop us from fulfilling our God-given destinies. His most successful strategies are those which are subtle and appeal to our fleshly desires, just as...

The Perverted Love Of St Valentine's Day

         We live in a world where those who suppress the truth have the loudest voices. They are more persuasive in their arguments because their arguments sound logical and well-reasoned. However, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not necessarily mean it is the truth. At the same time, the fact that an argument is loud and logical does not mean it is of God. So many claim they do not care where it originates from, but they agree with and have bought into its message. If that is your stance, then you need to hear this because what you believe and have bought into is a lie. Remember, ignorance is not bliss but a dangerous position to occupy as many ‘ignorants’ abound in hell!        The argument for celebrating St. Valentine's Day is loud and sounds logical but it is not the truth, nor is it of God! It is not of God because the love that Jesus Christ portrays carries within it the responsibility of self-sacrifice whilst that o...
