Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we lived in a place with no fear, no anxiety, feeling loved, total provision and in absolute peace. We all desire this. Is it possible many would ask? Unfortunately not in human terms but in spiritual terms a resounding yes! The kingdom of heaven. Jesus taught us to pray for “HIS kingdom to come, HIS will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” If Jesus taught us to pray that way He knew the answer was possible. WE CAN have the kingdom of heaven on earth.
We are invited by our loving creator God to seek first HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness and everything else we need WILL BE given to us. When we seek first OUR kingdom, in other words what WE want to do with our lives, the full blessings of God’s kingdom are not available to us.
When we are in God’s kingdom we love and obey the king. Have we as Christians slipped away from God’s ways and He is no longer Lord or King in our lives? Or maybe you’ve never really known your loving Heavenly Father.
I believe that this time more than any other time in my lifetime that God is allowing the world to be shaken. No He hasn’t caused this virus but there are many wrong foundations in this world that need to go, inside and outside the church. They need to be revealed, smashed and rebuilt according to HIS kingdom principles.
I’ve always loved GOOD NEWS! The good news is there are keys available to open the door to His Kingdom and the full life the King promises us.
The key to His kingdom is REPENTANCE. No short cuts! Jesus is either King of his kingdom in our lives or He’s not.
REPENTANCE – is called for throughout the Bible and we are called to surrender to God as Sovereign King – to turn from our way of running our lives and making a 180 degree change of direction towards God.
In 2 Chronicles 7:14 it is clear that God is calling His people to repent, to humble ourselves and pray and turn from our wicked way and THEN we will hear from heaven, He will forgive our sins and heal our land.
Church, you and I can bring healing to our nation. Turn the key in your life to get back to kingdom principles.
If you don’t know King Jesus, repent and ask Him to forgive you and invite Him into your life to be your Lord and Saviour.
