Every day in the God's Word

 EVERYDAY IN THE WORD!

TUESDAY MARCH 10, 2026.

SUBJECT: UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF KINGDOM OF GOD!

Memory verse: "Then He said, "What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?" (Luke 13 vs 18.)

READ: Luke 17 vs 20 - 21:

17:20: Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation;

17:21: nor will they say, ' See here!' or 'See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you." 

INTIMATION:

The Pharisees asked Jesus when God's kingdom would come, not knowing that it had already arrived with the arrival of Jesus on earth. The kingdom of God is not like an earthly kingdom with geographical boundaries. Indeed, it begins with the work of God's Spirit in people's lives and in relationships. Jesus from the beginning came with the message of the kingdom of God, and preached the same concept all through His earthly walk. 

Most people hear the kingdom and simply think it is heaven one goes to when one dies, or an abstract spiritual realm. But if you don't understand what a kingdom is, you will never understand what Jesus is actually offering us. The kingdom is not a feeling, nor a weekly church service, nor a future dream. It's a present reality, a government, a nation. It's a divine system ruled by a righteous King, Jesus Christ, who came not to fit into the world, but to transform it. 

The kingdom is a government, not a religion. The Scriptures in Isaiah 9 vs 6 - 7, say, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulder, and His name will be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." 

In a time of great darkness in the world, God promised to send a light who would shine on everyone living in the shadow of death. He is both "Counselor" and "Mighty God." This message of hope was fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His eternal kingdom. He came to deliver all people from their slavery to sin. 

A kingdom is a sovereign rulership over a territory governed by a King who establishes his laws, culture, economy, citizenship, and purpose for the benefit of his citizens. He ensures its order, its authority, its structure, and it's completely different from the world's government such as democracy. 

A kingdom has a King, he is the ruler by right, he is born into power, his word is final; no voting, no negotiating, no campaigning, no questioning, but only obedience to his rules. Jesus is the King. He is not running for an office, He is not asking for your opinion, He is inviting you for submission. The Scriptures, in Revelation 19 vs 16, say, "And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS." You don't only accept Him as Savior, you bow to Him as Sovereign. In His kingdom loyalty is not optional, rather it is an evidence that you belong. 

A kingdom has citizens, not members. In a church culture you become a member, you serve and you participate. But in a kingdom you are a citizen, and citizenship comes with rights and responsibilities. The Scriptures, in Philippians 3 vs 20, say, "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,"

In the kingdom you have protection from the King, you have access to His economy, you live by His culture, and under His laws. You also carry His authority. As a child of God, you don't just believe in God, you belong to His kingdom. 

Jesus didn't come to take sides, He came to take over. So today the question is not do you go to church, do you believe in God, do you know the Bible. The real question is; are you living under the rules of the King, are you part of His government, His citizenship, His mission, because when you understand what a kingdom is and who your King is, you stop playing church, and start walking in kingdom authority, you stop surviving and start reigning, and that is exactly what you are here for. The Scriptures in Revelation 5 vs 10, say, "And have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth."

To be continued tomorrow. 

Prayer: Abba Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son to the world through Him we are redeemed from slacery of sin and death, and the privilege of sonship in Your kingdom. You have made us to reign on the earth as kings and priests, and will eternally live with You in Your kingdom, in Jesus’ Name I have  prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
