... but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. - Matt. 6:33

The Kingdom:

Our main focus as believers should be the kingdom. That is what our Lord Jesus preached during his 3 year ministry. He preached the good news of the kingdom. Its amazing to know that everything we need is contained in the package called ' the kingdom '. That was why Jesus admonished us to seek first the kingdom and every other thing will be added unto us.

We must all understand that we have been called, graced, empowered and commissioned to preach the good news of the kingdom. Every other message the true preachers preach is contained in it. As Christians, our main focus should be on God and his kingdom. Our focus must not only be on prosperity or healing or discipleship or salvation or heaven or baptism or evangelism. Your focus should be on the entire package called 'the kingdom'. This is what Jesus came to establish on earth. He brought the good news of the kingdom and came to establish it here. The deal was sealed after his death, resurrection, ascension and outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Now the kingdom of God is here.

Believers must understand that the devil is not the God of the earth. Our LORD GOD is the God of the earth. The devil is only the god of the evil or Babylonian world. Adam sold his birth-right to him but our Lord Jesus (the second and last Adam) came to restore that authority.

The Church must understand that God, our father has given the earth to us. Its true we will go to heaven but we are still coming back to the earth. The earth is the LORD`s and it is also ours. Praise the LORD!. There will be a millennial reign of Christ on the earth and then long afterward, there will be a new heaven. The Church, the bride of Christ which will be referred to as the New Jerusalem will descend from the presence of the Father and from heaven and will come down to the earth and God will tabernacle with man here on earth.

Blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear. This is a mystery that has been hidden from the wise and holy prophets that came before Christ. It is now being revealed to you. Alleluia! Our Lord Jesus Christ really tried to explain the kingdom by preaching many parables and similitudes. You must understand that the main focus is the kingdom.



The Mystery of the Kingdom

... and he said unto them, unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God - Mark 4:11a

The kingdom of God has always been a mystery to people. They just don't seem to understand the kingdom but thanks be to God. It is not a mystery to us who are believers. Our Lord Jesus said in the verse above that it is given to us to know the mystery. Even though it was once a mystery to us but now we have access to know this mystery. Praise God ! To us all of us who believe and fear the Lord it is now being revealed . Jesus said - Blessed are your eyes for they see and your ears for they hear. He said wise men had longed and hoped to know and see those things that we know but to them it was not given. He said but to us it is given. Praise God !
One day, God woke me up from my sleep very early in the morning and gave me a wonderful message titled the mystery of the kingdom and I would like to share it with you. May God bless you as you read with delight. Amen

12 Similitudes of the kingdom

In the Gospels, Our Lord Jesus likened the kingdom to many things. He did that in order to reach out to the people. I would like you to check up the references attached to each similitude. May God give you understanding in Jesus name. Amen.

Matt.13:31 - Like a grain of mustard seed
Matt.13:33 - Like leaven
Matt.13:44 - Like a treasure hid in a field
Matt.13:45 - Like a merchant man seeking pearls
Matt.13:47 - Like a net that...gathered every kind of fish
Matt.18:23 - Like a certain king taking account of his servants
Matt.20:1 - Like a householder who hired more laborers
Matt.21:28 - Like two sons who were sent to go to work
Matt.22:1 - Like a certain king which made a marriage for his son
Matt.25:1 - Like ten virgins
Matt.25:14 - Like a traveling man who gave talents
Mark 4:14 - Like a sower

These 12 similitudes describes the kingdom of God. It describes God, our kingdom purpose, believers, our spiritual gifts, God`s end time plan etc.
This revelation is really exciting. Please keep reading and keep Meditating upon it and get the juice out of them.


Kingdom Authority

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name
- John 1:12


You must remind yourself and be aware of your kingdom authority. You are an offspring of God and you carry his divine power to rule, dominate, subdue, replenish and reproduce. God has made you a god on the surface on the earth. You aint a god to be worshiped but you are a god because you are an offspring of God. People should worship the God in you. You have been empowered to heal the sick and cast out demons if you believe in the name of Jesus Christ. You have more power than the devil. The kingdom of the earth is yours. God took it back from the devil and gave it back to the church. You have the keys of the kingdom of God with you to loose and to bind. You have been given the key of David. All things are yours. God has made us kings and priests and has empowered us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places.

Kingdom Power and Glory

God`s glory and power is on the surface of the earth like never before. There is a great outpouring of the Spirit on the church. The presence of the church is so powerful that the Antichrist cannot show up until we (the church) leave the earth. The anti-Christ is hiding at the moment. We must understand that we are all kings. Christ, our master is the King of kings and his awesome all-power has given us dominion and power over all the power of the enemy. I see God`s power increasing even as we move on in this end-time. The glory of God is on the increase. The glory of the Lord will fill the whole earth as the knowledge of his glory is being preached.

The Coming of Christ

The church of Christ must understand that the coming of Christ is dependent on the preaching of the gospel of the kingdom to every tongue and tribe. Until that happens, Jesus will not come. Not every gospel is the gospel of the kingdom. Be not deceived. The true gospel must be preached everywhere before he returns. May God help us. Selah.
