My view of the kingdom of God: It’s about a new government or sovereign kingdom where God rules; a self-contained kingdom first established on Earth in people’s heart (Luke 17:21). It operates by superior principles from a superior position, and is a new order of living by faith.
In the kingdom, you don’t need to look to other governments or anything else in this world to take care of you. You don’t even have to try to meet your own needs. Jesus said, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33)
So the gospel of the kingdom of God is not only a message about salvation and “Going to heaven when you die,” but also about heaven brought to earth. We’re to bring the culture of heaven and spread it throughout the earth.
Under the orders of the King of kings, who is sovereign, we have been given the authority and responsibility to advance, possess and occupy the earth, and to bear fruit for the kingdom of God.
“The coming of the kingdom of God in not something that can be observed, nor will people say, “Here it is,” or “There it is,” because the kingdom of God is in your midst.” Luke 17:20-21
May we no longer settle for crumbs that fall to the floor, when we have been invited to sit at the Master’s table!
