Advancing the Kingdom of God

What is the Kingdom? It is the Rule or Government of God in our lives. The kingdom concept was born in the heart of man, placed there by his creator as the purpose for which he was created. Despite the fact that there were many types of kingdoms throughout history, there are certain characteristics common to all kingdoms. The Kingdom of God, according to Jesus, also possesses these components. Here are some you will need to know in order to understand the concepts of Scripture. All Kingdoms have: A King and Lord-a sovereign. • A territory—a domain.• There is a Constitution—a royal covenant; • There are Citizens—a community of subjects; Law– Acceptable principles. • Privileges– rights and benefits. • A code of Ethics-acceptable lifestyle and conduct; • An Army-security; and; • A Commonwealth-economic security; and; • A Social Culture-protocol and procedures.

Are you passive about the Kingdom of God? There is a cause for our salvation, purpose & lives. We can choose to be extraordinary or unproductive. We all as believers have a critical decision to make; either we are going to be active concerning the things of God, or not. Each of us has a critical part to play. Satan is going to do everything he can to distract us from our purpose. Instead of simply going through religious routines we should establish and value our personal relationship with God.
