The Kingdom of God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends! I thank God for each one of you and I am grateful for the opportunity to speak the Word of God to you through the “Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”.Today I want to talk about the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is a very important concept, which is often mentioned in the Bible. When we read the New Testament we see that the message about the Kingdom of God was the central message and mission of Jesus Christ. The very first sermon of Jesus Christ was a message that called people to repent and to believe the Gospel, because the Kingdom of God has come nigh.God’s Kingdom is the fulfilment of God’s will on the earth, just like it is fulfilled in heaven. God’s Kingdom is where God rules; it is the place of domination of God and His laws. God’s desire is that His Kingdom will spread throughout the whole world; but in order to do that it must first be established in the heart of every individual person.The mission of Jesus is the establishment and expansion of God’s Kingdom in this earth, until the kingdom of this world is taken over by the Kingdom of our God. All of the activities of the church of Jesus Christ on the earth must be in close connection with this mission. Establishment and spreading of God’s Kingdom in the earth is the reason why we pray, evangelize, teach and minister.God’s Kingdom has to spread throughout this earth, until it will dominate everything.
«Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, „The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever?” (Revelation, 11:15)
According to this verse, God’s unchanging desire is for the kingdoms of this earth to become the kingdoms of God and His Son. That is what Jesus said in what we know as the Lord’s Prayer; when His disciples asked Him to teach them to pray, He told them to pray this way:
 „Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Mathew, 6:10).
Only the coming of God’s Kingdom on this earth can solve all spiritual, social, psychological, economic and political problems. The whole earth and all the peoples of the earth need God’s Kingdom to come.The truth is that the kingdoms of this earth will eventually become the kingdom of God and His Christ. God has already announced it as a established fact, but you and I live at the time when the process is still on-going; everything is in progress. Jesus brought the Kingdom of God to the earth, and it is spreading through the kingdoms of the earth.God desires every believer to get involve in this process of growing God’s Kingdom on this earth. Do you want to take part in the process of spreading of Kingdom values in this earth? What will your role be? Will the Kingdom be established with your help or without it? The answers to these questions are very significant.Expansion of the Kingdom of God won’t happen automatically. In order for it to expand, the followers and disciples of Jesus must get involve. If you have made a decision to be the instrument of Kingdom expansion in all the areas of your influence, then you will have to change your approach to life and learn to overcome the hindrances in this life. In order for you to be effective in this area, you must join the team of over-comers in Christ. Establishment of God’s Kingdom will not happen without spiritual fighting, that is why you need to join those who have learned to overcome in Christ.We will continue tomorrow.Be blessed!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    God has created each of you for a certain purpose. God has a common purpose and a personal (individual) purpose for each of us. Our common goal is to glorify the Lord. However, God also has a peculiar purpose He has created every individual to fulfill. I was sent to the Earth to solve certain problems. If you are driven by such awareness you will live a strategical life. Each of you has a certain goal and a purpose set by God.

    «Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the fulfilment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.» (Romans 10:1-4).Today may people are saying they love God and believe in Him, while staying ignorant to His righteousness and living according to their own righteousness. Therefore, they blame God for being unjust to them when facing problems and distress in their life.

  • Precondition for effective prayer is prayer in practice

    Prayer must be practiced daily. We will not be able to become masters and professionals in what we do not practice every day. If we do not practice prayer, we will not know how to pray properly. Again I would like to emphasize one truth we spoke of last time. In the life for each of us, once the time comes when most of all we need prayer. But if we do not practice prayer daily, we will not be able to ask and receive the necessary assistance from God at that particular time. May this not happen with us.Prayer changes us and the things that are around us, it changes our world. Everyone can find that a prayer is power, it is a privilege for a believer from God Himself.

  • As believers in Christ we should learn to look at ourselves the way God looks at us!

    The God´s word says we are pilgrims and aliens, therefore, do your best to see your selves as such. Doing so we will take after people seeking heavenly home, those who desire not to return to the place they have exited, rather longing for something better, namely, heaven. God is not ashamed of those who are filled with hope of salvation. He is gladly calls Himself their God, for He has prepared a city for them – a shelter to stay in safety during the storm, flood or hunger. God has prepared comfort everlasting and obvious victory for their souls.

  • The law of multiplication

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    If we have seed and sow it in good ground, then we will definitely see a harvest. Seed will grow. Sown seed first gives blade, then head and then grain in the head. Multiplication and growth always imply process. It is unavoidable if we want to receive harvest. We just have to do our part. First, that we have to understand in order to receive harvest is that we need some seed. The truth is that we already have seed. If you want to see multiplication in some area of your life you should know that you already have seed from God.
