NATURE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

TOPIC: NATURE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

SCRIPTURE: For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 
For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men - Romans 14:17-18

MEMORY VERSE: Luke 11:20

DIGGING DEEEP: A kingdom is a realm which is independent and it is controlled by a king.
The kingdom is not democratic but autocratic. It means that the paramount ruler is God. The laws of the kingdom of God are righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. The currency of the kingdom is faith. You can only become a citizen of the kingdom of God by new birth. The kingdom of God has no room for dual citizenship by this i mean, if you are of the kingdom, you can't have citizenship of another kingdom. Anyone who plays this double standard life is immediately spewed out (Revelation 3:16).
The kingdom of God carries the nature of God.
The kingdom of God came when Jesus entered into space and the boundaries of this world. Now
Jesus is no longer on earth physically but sits in our hearts hence we are the carriers of the kingdom of God. The Holy Ghost is the one expressing the kingdom of God through you.
As citizens of the kingdom undestand the following character of the kingdom:
1. THE KINGDOM IS SELF SUSTAINING: It does not form allies with other kingdoms to be relevant (2 Corinthians 6:14) 
2. YOU CAN CARRY THE KINGDOM WHEREEVER YOU GO: For instance a white or black person remains so everywhere he finds himself. Thus everywhere he shows up, his identity reflects the race that individual is from. Also if you are married, you are not just a married person in your home, you are married everywhere you go. That is how it is with you. Jesus said "as long as I AM in this world, I AM the light of the world" (John 9:5).  Understand that the kingdom of God is the kingdom of light, so been in this world does not change it. The point i am raising is simple, if you know the kingdom, you won't compromise just to fit into the kingdom of this world. You are of a superior kingdom.
3.  ALL KINGDOM CITIZENS ARE KINGS AND LORDS: The only reason God is called King of kings and Lord of lords is simply because all citizens of the kingdom of God are kings and lords. Beloved, you are a king rule in every sphere you find yourself. You are a lord don't allow mammon to become your lord. Don't allow evil patterns and lawlessness to rule in your life.
4.  THE KINGDOM CAN BE EXPRESSED: Expressing the kingdom is expressing the nature and ability of God Himself. For instance God is love, when you show His love to the world, you are expressing the kingdom. The only way the impact of God's kingdom can be felt is in when it is expressed.
Remember that the kingdom of darkness remains relevant if citizens of God's kingdom do not expressed their identity.

PRAYER: O Lord help me not to compromise my stand in Your kingdom.
