IN THE KINGDOM (Part 4)

OUR HERITAGE IN THE KINGDOM  (Continuation)

⭕ DIVINE HEALTH
Sound health is your portion as a believer, God wants you to enjoy it, God asked through Prophet Jeremiah, Has Gi health l‘ad exhausted its healing resin? Is no physician there?If there is, then why is the daughter of my people so slow to recover her health? Jeremiah 8:22 CJB

Every sickness is demonic, the smallest of all sicknesses has a demonic force attached to it, every sickness has a demonic root. Paul wrote “By his stripe, ye are healed” no sickness is normal for you, that small headache, that little and short pain, that rheumatism, that HIV, that toothache is not normal for you.

Command them out.

Refuse to be oppressed by the devil. You are a child of God, there was no record of Jesus being sick, Jesus was never sick, everything in Jesus is in You. Activate it. John the beloved understand the fact and said “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” - 3 John 2

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. Rom 8:11KJV

The word “quicken” means to give life. God is ready to give life to your mortal body. He is ready to nourish your body. He does not want you sick or have any infirmity on your body.

⭕FINANCIAL PROSPERITY
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, ...That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. - Gal 3:13-14.

By the virtue of your faith in Christ, you are entitled to Abrahamic blessing.
Abraham was blessed by God. _(Now the Lord had said unto Abram, …I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. - Genesis 12:1-3).

Many believe that this Abrahamic Blessing is only pertaining to Salvation, however, Salvation the entry into it.

The word salvation is Greek word “soteria” which means deliverance from sin, sickness and poverty.

Financial prosperity is your portion as a Christian, you should not be poor, don’t choose to be poor.

Christians are not to be financially poor, it is heretic to say Christians should be poor. It is God who give power to make wealth. - Deut 8:18 KJV

The power to make wealth may come as an Idea. An idea that will bring you into prosperity. God gave Isaac the idea to plant in the land of philistines, He did and God blessed the works of his hands and he reaped in multiple folds. He became rich.

“Riches and Honour are from God (Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty … Both riches and honour come of thee, 1 Chronicles 29:11-12). Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. - Prov 8:18 KJV

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. - Phil 4:19 KJV

⭕SUCCESS/EXPLOITS
Those that know their God, Academic Success is meant for Christian, when you putting after as Christian, God bless the works and it yields success.

Career success, Invention and discovery. Job discovered oil, Job 8:22
You are a solution to the problem of this generation, stop complaining, start going out.
Dan 11:32b says _…the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits._
You must know that God gives special abilities for success to His own people.

⭕ ANGELIC MINISTRATION
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Hebrew 1:14

Angels are heavenly being created by God ministering sprits to believers. They are called ministering spirits. Their functions are numerous ranging from Protection to Provision to Delivering of Divine Messages.

IN THE KINGDOM (Part 3)

OUR HERITAGE IN THE KINGDOM

Once you are part of God’s family by being born again, you are under the packaged-covenant heritage of God.
These heritage are called goodly heritage (Psalm 16:6).

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 2 Peter 1:3KJV

Unfortunately, many Christians do not know this. Many do not know that they have heritage in the Lord thereby allowing the devil to toss them to and fro. They don’t know that there are things that have been freely given to them by God.

One of the reasons many believers don’t know what they have in Christ is because they do not know who they are in God. And until you know who you are in God, you may not be able to see your heritage, let alone lay hold on them.

God has enlisted you as His son since the day you got born again and He has covenant-packaged heritage for you such as:

⭕VICTORY OVER SIN
The work of the devil is to input sin into you so that you might die, he did that to Adam and Eve and Succeeded, the devil persuaded them to sin of disobedience and they died spiritually Gen 3, but God sent Jesus to give us victory over sin 1John 3:8-9 . You are of God, you have God’s seed in you, you have victory over sin. Sin shall not have dominion over you 1Cor15:55-57.

You are of God, you have God’s seed in you, you have victory over sin. You have victory over lie, masturbation, envy, backbiting and all works of the devil. Don’t forget that you are God’s righteousness and sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.- Rom 6:14.

⭕DIVINE POWER AND AUTHORITY:
Luke 10:19. 9:1. You have power and authority over the devil, the authority you have is called the believers authority, it is found in the name of Jesus. Check Luke 9:1 again, it says…power and authority over all devils … the devil is pluralized, this means that irrespective of their number, you have authority over them. Luke 10:19. Is it not beautiful to know who you are in Christ?

Apostle Paul at his stopover at an island called Melita demonstrate his authority. Acts 28:3-5.

Shake off every beast tormenting your life, you have the authority, put it to use.

Command every demon tormenting you out. Command them, YOU HAVE THE NAME OF JESUS.

Remember the name of the Lord is a strong tower Proverbs 18:10, Phillipians 2:9-11

⭕JOY UNSPEAKABLE
This is an unending happiness
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: - 1 Peter 1:8

⭕PEACE UNFEIGNED
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” - John 14:27KJV
Peace is a state of mind.

IN THE KINGDOM (Part 2)

THE THREE PILLARS OF THE KINGDOM

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Romans 14:17 KJV

Everyone in this kingdom must learn to rest on these pillars day and night. They are;
I. Righteousness: Pardon of sin, and holiness of heart and life.

II. peace: In the soul, from a sense of God's mercy; peace regulating, ruling, and harmonizing the heart. The peace of God.

III. Joy in the Holy Spirit: This is a Solid spiritual happiness; a joy which springs from a clear sense of God's mercy; the love of God being shed abroad in the heart by the Holy Spirit. Rom 5:5b. This is JOY without any kind of mental agony or distressing fear.

THE KINGDOM MANUAL
In this kingdom, the words of our King is Final. When He says Yes, we can’t say No. OUR responses to His instructions are “YES AND AMEN”. He has given us the scripture as the book of Law of Spirit and Life. In it we find correction, admonition, comfort, courage and instructions for living.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.2 Tim. 3:16-17NIV

IN THE KINGDOM (Part 1)

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.  Rom 14:17 KJV

WE BELONG TO A KINGDOM!

What is a kingdom?
A kingdom is a domain under the rulership of a king.
The word ‘kingdom’ simply means ‘KING’S DOMAIN’. Every kingdom has its ruler, its citizen, its peculiarity and guidelines.
As believers, we have a kingdom where peace, love and joy are not scarce. It is the kingdom of God. A kingdom where there is no slave. All citizens are kings and priests. It is the kingdom where everyone is the son of the most high-King of kings.

A kingdom where its King was never enthroned by any mortal or spirit and neither can He be dethroned, deposed or sacked by any. He was not selected or elected into office. His government is not for a while neither does his tenure expires because His reign is forever.

This kingdom is a spiritual one but expressed in the physical. It is the spiritual empire belonging to the Children of God here on earth.

Wherefore WE RECEIVING A KINGDOM which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: -Heb 12:28KJV

THE KING OF THE KINGDOM
The king of this Kingdom is God. He is the Most High. He is the Almighty. His reign is eternal because He lives forever. He is the Father of everyone in the kingdom.
When Jesus was asked by His disciples to teach them how to pray, he said;
_“After this manner therefore pray ye: OUR FATHER which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.…For Thine Is The KINGDOM, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. “ -Matt 6:9,13b KJV

Jesus called Him the Father and established that the kingdom belong to Him forever.
In this kingdom, God is both our King and our Father. We have been birthed by Him and we belong to Him.

IDENTITY OF THE CITIZENS

Wherefore WE RECEIVING A KINGDOM which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:Heb 12:28KJV.

The “We” as used in Hebrews 12:28 refers to the believers; those who have received Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Those who have been birthed by God.
This kingdom has been given to those who belong to God. Those who have been bought by the precious blood of the lamb. To those who have believed Christ as the Son of God. Those who have received His life. Those who confessed His Lordship upon themselves.
Those who have been washed by the blood, they have received the remission of their sins, they have been justified by the resurrection of Christ.

In this Kingdom, we are;

A. SONS OF GOD AND NOT SLAVES
We have been born by the FATHER-GOD, we are born AGAIN. God is our Father. The day you got born again, He said to you _(…the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ps 2:7KJV)_

B. PRIESTS AND KINGS
The bible says  _”The people in this kingdom are all PRIEST & KINGS, the RULER of the Kingdom made them so, that is why HE is called THE KING OF KINGS. His is the KING that rules over KINGS and PRIESTS.”_
“you made them a Kingdom, Priests for our God, PRIEST-KINGS to rule over the earth.”- Revelations 5:10 MSG.

“But ye are a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”- 1 Peter 2:9KJV.

C. SAINTS
“Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, CALLED TO BE SAINTS, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours.”- 1 Cor 1:2 KJV.

We are saints, not because the world calls us that but because that is what the RULER OF THE KINGDOM calls us.
That is part of our identity in the kingdom.

When you make the secret place your place of comfort, you will always come out as the “BY-PRODUCT” of God.

WHEN YOUR PRIVATE PART SMELLS.

Permit me to invade your privacy today, this once.

Well, I just want to point out something you never knew, or probably have been ignoring; about your "inner chambers", that place you always dread talking about, because you believe it's personal.

How healthy are you in there? Are you proud of it?

Oh, no! Not about your genitalia, far from it. I'm referring to those areas of your life that are oblivious to the public, your "behind the scenes", that is your private part.

Is it as healthy as that part you flaunt in public?

WHO REALLY ARE YOU?

💢 A godly satan.

💢 Angelic demon.

💢 Beautiful beast.

💢 Glorious wreck.

💢 Holy sinner.

💢 An online influencer, but an offline influenza.

💢 A minister on the podium, but a sinister in the house.

💢 A public angel, but a private beast.

💢 A healer in the open, but a virus on the inside.

💢 A humble lady at work, but a whirlwind at home.

💢 A gentleman in public, but a terror in your home.

💢 A noble in-law, but son of destruction to family.

💢 A spirit-led brother in church but an abusive manipulator with your wife.

💢 You worship your Daddy/Mummy GO, but have no regard for your parents/spouse.

💢 You don't get tired of commending girls for their beauty, but your woman gets no compliment after dressing.

💢 You get too busy counseling other children that you fail to notice your child's desire for your love and attention.

💢 You're benevolent to strangers, but your family and people in your inner space are subjected to penury.

💢 You attack people's children for their shortcomings, but yours are impending nemesis, waiting to happen...

Oh, dear! Your private part is faulty, sick, and decaying.

You smell. You stink. You rot.

Your stench is awful.

A thought of you is nauseating.

It is about time you fixed yourself. Get help and strive to stay healthy. Only you are responsible for your healing, no one else.

Acknowledge that you're sick in there, identify the causative factors, examine where the stench is oozing from, and make steps towards self healing.

Remind your charity that it has a home.

Let the beauty of your soul and your goodness be felt by the people in your inner space first, before strangers.

Be a father/mother to your own children first, before attempting to become Mother Theresa or Santa Claus.

Set your house in order!

Bonjour!

INFIDELITY IS A CHOICE

Out of sight isn't out of heart.

Distance relationship is not always the problem. 

The problem is INDISCIPLINE and UNFAITHFULNESS. 

If you can't hold yourself because your partner is out of sight. 

Then you have to work on your weakness. If not, even when your partner is inside you nose you will still cheat. 

You must to grow to a point where you can be entrust with distance. 

No parent allows their little children to go far distance because they can't manage their parent absence. But there's a stage where their parent can leave them to go anywhere because they have grown to a point where they are being trusted with distance. 

I don't know who need to hear this. Distance is not a barrier and distance can't make you infidel.
