Yesterday we established that God wants to see His Kingdom spreading throughout this earth. God desires for the kingdoms of this earth to become the kingdom of God and Christ. We also realized that His Kingdom will surely come, but it is important for this to happen with you and me participating.\r\n\r\nWe are calling each believer to actively participate in the spreading of God\u2019s Kingdom on this earth and to hold a position of an overcomer in Christ. In order to expand God\u2019s Kingdom we need to fight and to put forth effort.\r\n
\u00abAnd from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force\u00bb\u00a0(Mathew, 11:12).<\/h6>\r\nIt is impossible to establish\u00a0God\u2019s Kingdom in our hearts, our lives, our families, and all the spheres of our influence without putting forth particular effort. In order for God\u2019s Kingdom to grow we will need to fight and to engage in warfare. So if you have made a decision to have part in the expansion of God\u2019s Kingdom on this earth, you cannot be a passive observer. Only active people who have taken a position of overcomers in Christ are able to establish the Kingdom in their lives and around them.\r\n\r\nThere is no need to overcome, if there is nothing to overcome. We must realize that we are in the midst of a terrible spiritual fight. Indifference makes a person more vulnerable to the enemy.\r\n
\u00abFor though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ…\u00bb\u00a0(2 Corinthians, 10:3-5).<\/h6>\r\nWe live or walk in the flesh, but we do not war according to the flesh. We are talking about spiritual war, not about physical wrestling. Let\u2019s look at another fragment of Scripture:\r\n
\u00abFinally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand\u00bb\u00a0(Ephesians, 6:10-13).<\/h6>\r\nThis passage of Scripture points out several important truths.\r\n\r\nFirstly,<\/strong>\u00a0we do not simply war; we war in order to expand God\u2019s Kingdom and to continue His work on this earth.\u00a0Secondly<\/strong>, we do not war against people of flesh and blood, so our weapons must be spiritual and not physical. That is because\u00a0\u00abwe do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places\u00bb.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0And so \u00ab\u00a0the weapons of our warfare are not carnal\u00bb<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em>\r\n\r\nBesides,<\/strong> it is very important to understand that we do not just war, but we war from the position of being overcomers in Christ.\r\n\r\nWe are not trying to win this war; the victory has already been won by Christ. In Him we have already overcome, and we must war from this position, having that kind of understanding. The Book of Revelation clearly states that only overcomers can inherit and expand the Kingdom of God.\r\n
\u00abHe who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son\u00bb\u00a0(Revelation, 21: 7).<\/h6>\r\nThe one who overcomes is the one who has a revelation of his victory in Christ, and, being armed with this revelation, he overcomes all\u00a0hindrances on the way to the fulfillment of his mission from God.\r\n\r\nIf you want to be one of those people who expand God\u2019s Kingdom, you must take your position as an overcomer in Christ Jesus. God has already done everything necessary for us to overcome every barrier on our way. He has done everything He needed to do to make us able to spread His Kingdom as soon as we receive this Kingdom ourselves.\r\n\r\nWe must learn the armor He has provided for this fight and be very diligent in using it. We will talk about it tomorrow.\r\n\r\nRemember that in Christ you are victors and overcomers!\r\n\r\nBe blessed!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboy","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It is impossible to establish God\u2019s Kingdom in our hearts, our lives, our families and all the spheres of our influence without putting forth particular effort.
