A kingdom is a territory, a domain, a city, a realm controlled by a king or a ruler. Our Kingdom is ruled by the Lord Jesus.
When talking about His kingdom never ending, we are saying that his Kingship does not expire. He is not a military leader – no coup can remove him. He was not installed by democracy, the senate cannot remove him by two thirds vote. He is not a traditional king who will die as He lives forever and ever and ever! However, His kingdom and the effects of His kingdom can be weakened if his subjects and wards do not do what they should do or if they do not even understand the dynamics of the kingdom.
PRINCIPLES OF THIS KINGDOM
1. RULES AND PROTOCOL
You must have a salvation story! Repent and have faith in Christ!
Mat 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
3. CHANGE
It delivered the mad man at Gadarene in – Mark 5:1-16.
Mat 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Luk 17:14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
Hear this testimony! – Joh 9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
4. HIS KINGDOM IS DRIVEN BY POWER – THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
This kingdom has power. Thrives on power. Works on Power. The power of the kingdom is real. The Kingdom is powerless without the Holy spirit!
1Co 4:20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
We lack power because our heart is not right. Remember the man that wanted power with a heart that is not circumcised – the apostle cursed him.
Act 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Act 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
Act 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Summary
You don’t know when this phase of your life will finish! By air or grave – are you qualified to be in His Kingdom?
Luk 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Luk 17:27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luk 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Today is the day to make Peace with God! Peace with God not Peace with Church – With God!
