Some Truths about God's Kingdom

-

In the heart of every believer lies a profound truth, a beacon that shines through the darkness of this world: the power of God's kingdom. This kingdom is not a realm of earthly dominion, but a spiritual fortress governed by Jesus, the King of kings. When we embrace salvation, we are not merely changing an allegiance; we are being translated into His kingdom, a transition from the shadows into the marvellous light.

Born Into the Kingdom

To enter God's kingdom, one must be born into it, not of flesh, but of spirit—born from above. This rebirth is a divine transformation that aligns us with the will of the Father and appoints us as representatives of Jesus on earth. Just as Jesus was sent by God, we too are sent forth, carrying the mantle of His love and authority.

The Riches of His Kingdom

The kingdom of God is a treasure trove of divine gifts: wisdom, understanding, peace, joy, health, provision, and protection. These are not mere concepts but tangible realities for those who believe. The Holy Spirit, dwelling within us, is the wellspring of all our needs, fulfilling them both naturally and supernaturally. As it is written in Matthew 6:25, 32–34, we need not worry about our lives, for our Heavenly Father knows our needs and Ephesians 1:3 assures us that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.

Ambassadors of the Eternal Kingdom

As ambassadors of Christ, our mission transcends the conflicts and divisions of this world. Our calling is to establish God's kingdom on earth, to dismantle the strongholds of the enemy, and to reveal the truth of a spiritual kingdom that remains unseen to the naked eye. Through our testimony and the trust we build with others, we guide them towards faith in this invisible realm.

To truly demonstrate the kingdom, we must first experience it ourselves, gaining a revelation that shifts our focus from the temporal to the eternal. It is in this revelation that we find the strength to pull down the systems of the devil and to stand firm as beacons of hope, illuminating the path to the kingdom of God for all to see.

In conclusion, the power of God's kingdom is not a distant ideal but a present reality. It is the force that propels us forward, the light that guides our steps, and the promise of an everlasting reign of peace and righteousness. Let us, therefore, walk in this power, embodying the virtues of the kingdom and spreading its influence throughout the world.

This article aims to inspire and uplift, drawing upon the rich depot of biblical teachings to illustrate the transformative power of God's kingdom. May it serve as a reminder of the hope and strength we possess as children of the Most High, called to manifest His kingdom here on earth.

God bless you abundantly!

A Replica of the First Passover

-

Acts chapter 12 tells the story of Herod's cruel acts towards the apostles. After killing James, he arrests Peter and imprisons him during the Passover festival. However, an angel of the Lord miraculously frees Peter from the prison (Acts 12:3-4). Similarly, Exodus chapter 12 recounts the first Passover, in which God liberates the Israelites from Pharaoh's harsh slavery. Peter's miraculous escape from prison is like a replica of the first Passover, where an angel delivers him. During the night, an angel of the Lord appears to Peter while he's asleep and instructs him, "Gird yourself and bind on your sandals" (Acts 12:8). Similarly, God gives the same instructions to the Israelites on the night they eat the Passover lamb: "Thus you shall eat it with your belt girded around, and your sandals on your feet" (Exodus 12:11). These powerful instructions bring about the miraculous and urgent liberation of the Israelites and Peter from bondage. It's truly

The Power of the Tongue

In the quest for a life filled with joy and the treasure of good days, one biblical wisdom implores us to master the art of speech.  “For he who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.” (1 Peter 3:10-11). The tongue, though small, wields a force mightier than any weapon of mass destruction. It can ignite a wildfire of destruction or breathe life into the ashen fields of despair.  “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity.” (James 3:5-6). We are all architects of our destiny, crafting the   of our lives one word at a time. Our words can be the balm that heals or the arrow that wounds the hearts of friends, neighbours, colleagues, and loved ones. We must recognize that a ‘slip of the tongue’ is not merely a misstep but a call to mindfu

Habits Vs Needs: Why Habits are not Needs.

-
Image
Human behaviour is a complex subject that can be broken down into habits and needs. Habits are actions that we perform regularly and easily, and they can result from repeated actions or routines. These habits can be either positive or negative but are not essential to our survival. On the other hand, needs are the essential requirements for our well-being and survival. These include physiological needs like food and water, safety needs such as shelter and security, and emotional needs like love and belonging. Sometimes, we confuse habits with needs and justify indulging in bad habits as a necessity. This is a common defence mechanism that allows us to avoid responsibility and claim powerlessness in the face of change. However, we can distinguish between habits and needs by observing others who thrive without the habits we consider indispensable. This realization can be both freeing and challenging, as it invites us to reassess our behaviours and the control we believe they have over us
