Words of the Ministry:
This week we would be considering the matter of the kingdom of God and God’s plan to establish his kingdom on earth through the saints. If you were asked, what is the message of the bible, what is the good news, what did God try to tell man for a period of 1600 using over 40 authors? Would you say holiness, righteousness, prayer, soul winning, faith, salvation, prosperity, making heaven or prayer? What if I told you that none of the above is the message of the bible. In this week’s lesson, I would be making a case that God’s goal and central message is the Kingdom of God on earth. To do this I would transverse the old and New Testament to show God’s eternal plan and how we can play an adequate role to see to its actualization.
What is a kingdom- A kingdom is the governing influence of a king over a territory impacting it with his will, purposes and intent and by so doing producing a citizen of people who reflect the kings culture, nature, values and morals. It is a nation where the citizens reflect the king’s lifestyle. In a kingdom, all power is in the hand of a king and to whom he delegates it to. It is not democracy, you don’t vote him in and you don’t emphasize on your right.
By invasion we mean an occasion when an army or country uses force to enter and take control of another country: the act of entering a place by force, often in large numbers.
Kingdom invasion is therefore a situation in which a certain kingdom takes over another by force and exercises its new will, intent and purposes over the citizens of the kingdom.
This week we would be considering the matter of God’s agenda for the Church’s invasion of the earth realm as an extension of his reign and a fulfilment of the above passage about Christ which states the earth would be an inheritance of Christ (Heb 1.2), Jesus ruling in righteousness as King. We see that Jesus the son would eventually rule the kingdom of Earth exercising his will and purpose through the Church. Little wonder the message of Jesus even from its inauguration was the kingdom of God is at hand (Mark 1.14-15). Join me through the week as we look at the matter of the kingdom and God’s strategy to invade the earth through you.
