THE KINGDOM OF GOD


The word “kingdom” is gotten from two words: king and domain. A king is a ruler and domain is the place where he rules. Every kingdom is ruled by a king and a king is as big as the size of his kingdom. The kingdom of God is ruled by God Himself. The kingdom of God has been in existence before the beginning of creation. The kingdom of God has no beginning and no end. The kingdom of God is not limited to time or space. That same kingdom, is what will abide forever. God is calling you to be a part of His kingdom.
One of the misconceptions people have held about the kingdom of God is that, they believe it to be an imaginary thing or something far away. But the truth is, the kingdom of God is within you. The kingdom of God is with you; it doesn’t matter where you are. It is the life of God that has been deposited in the innermost part of our being. However, the kingdom will not come alive or be of any benefit to you unless you accept this to be true. When you have the kingdom of God working in you, all the struggles of life you experience will seize. The things that men live and die for will come to you just as additions. You begin to see things from God’s perspective and enjoy the benefit of His promises.

The two primary things you need to do to experience the kingdom of God in its entirety are: first, you must accept Jesus as the Lord and Saviour of your soul. Jesus Christ is the key that unlocks the kingdom’s vault of valuables. Until you accept him you can never know what it means to live and walk in the kingdom. The second thing you need to do is to renew your mind with the word of God. To renew your mind is to let go of the world’s values and adopt the values stated in God’s word as the standard for your everyday living. The word of God is not an ordinary word. The word of God is all powerful. It can make you what it talks about. It can remould you into a brand new person. The word of God can create in you, the mindset of the godly. But you must first accept it, believe it and act on it. By doing these, you will not only have the kingdom established in your life, but inherit the glorious inheritance of the kingdom!
