Advancing God's Kingdom on earth pt 1

God is building His Kingdom in us.
Psalm107:20 “He sent out His word and healed them, snatching them from the door of death.” God will use the avenue of His word to heal us. God’s word heals us from insecurities, fears, our past experiences, broken hearted, ingratitude, insensitivity and so on. Let’s take time to celebrate God’s word and receive it with meekness.

We are kingdom agents. Matthew 6:9 - 13 – the Lords prayer – “Let your Kingdom come, let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” We are to advance God’s kingdom here on earth.
Psalm 103:19 “The Lord has made the heavens his throne; from there he rules everything.”
Psalm 110:1 – 3 “The Lord said to my Lord, Sit in the place of honour at my right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool under your feet. The Lord will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem, you will rule over your enemies. When you go to war, your people will serve you willingly. You are arrayed in holy garments, and your strength will be renewed each day like the morning dew.”
Heaven is the throne of God while earth is His footstool.
God uses people that avail themselves to him.

Matthew 10:12 “When you enter the home, give it your blessing.” There are some dimensions of the Kingdom that you need to press into.
Psalm 115:16 “The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to all humanity.” Adam was given dominion – authority over the earth –to keep it, to cultivate it – but, he was disobedient. If we look at the enemy trying to tempt Jesus, we see Jesus response “It is written...” and that he will not bow down to the enemy. Let’s learn from the wisdom of Jesus. Whoever owns you owns everything you’ve got. As Christians, we need to change our mentality. We cannot serve both God and mammon. Only God’s blessing can makes one rich and adds no sorrow.

God’s master plan is to redeem man back to himself. Jesus Christ came as the way back to the father. He is The way, The Truth and The Life. Man is vital in God’s master plan.
Romans 6:14 – 17
John 8:34 & 36
When the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.
