Kingdom of God
Kingdom of God
1. Adam was a priest when he related to God and a king when he related to the creation. Although Elohim had commissioned him to rule over planet earth, Adam lost both his kingdom and his kingship, when he committed high treason by disobeying the KING of kings who had sent him as His ambassador on earth.
2. God later chose the descendants of Abraham to be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation that was to go possess the gates of their enemies, rule over them and be a blessing to all the nations of the earth. They miserably failed to do so. (Gen. 22:17-18; Exo. 19:5-6)
3. Yeshua shed His blood to restore that authority by making us kings and priests. Each believer is commissioned a king and given a dominion to reign over, until planet earth is restored like the Garden of Eden. The church is the Kingdom of royal priests, each with his own dominion under the KING of kings. (Rev. 5:10)
4. Yeshua came to destroy the kingdom of the Devil and replace it with the Kingdom of God. The church exists to subdue the demonic kingdom and re-establish the Kingdom of God by empowering others to be kings to possess new domains. (Matt. 16:18,19; Heb. 2:14)
5. The greatest threat to the earth is not from atom bombs, AIDS or terrorism but religion. Passionate peddling of packaged religion has killed more people than all the wars. Pulpit remains the greatest heresy and a major obstacle to the expansion of the Kingdom (king + domain), robbing kings of their right to rule over their God given domains by shrinking them into mere pew potatoes.
6. Even though God is the owner of all, He gave each one of us delegated rulership as vice-regents when He said, “let them have dominion”. He will not interfere in our domain unless we specifically ask in prayer, just as He did not interfere when Eve talked to the Devil. Not fulfilling our rulership obligations will result in our city and the nation becoming a habitation of demons besides the loss of our kingship. (Psa. 115:14-16; Gen.1:26-28; 2 Chron 7:14)
7. In Christ, we are all heirs. The Father has bestowed a kingdom upon each one of us, prepared before the foundation of the earth. We should stop miniaturizing the kingdom, quit pastoring one church, adopt nations and expand the Kingdom. Dominion does not include dominating people but only the earth and the demons. (Rom. 8:14; Matt 25:34; Luke 10:19; 12:32),
8. God is interested not in religion but in kings, ambassadors and rulers, who will pray, proclaim and possess the land, installing His rule on earth. The ekklesia serves as the legal embassy of God. (John 8:31-36; Eph. 2:19; Rev. 1:6)
9. We are born to rule and not to be ruled. Unfortunately most Christians are kings without a dominion, ambassadors without a country and losers instead of conquerors. The first thing we need to make is a paradigm shift, a change of attitude from being a layman to serving as His Majesty’s royal priests. (1Pet.2:9; Rom. 6:37)
10. Remember the master punished the man whose sin was keeping his talent buried while rewarded those who multiplied their talents. Your domain may be your work site, a city or a region, which you are to transform into the Garden of Eden. God’s command to subdue the planet earth and have dominion over it, never went out of date.
