The Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of God. How many of you have
-
heard the Kingdom of God before? You have had the Kingdom of God.
-
You've heard it before, the Kingdom of God. Now when we talk about
-
the Kingdom of God, what comes to mind? All of you, those
-
who have heard it before? When you hear the Kingdom of God, what
-
comes to mind? He said? She said, Heaven? Heaven? Comes
-
to mind? Any other? Any other? When here the Kingdom of God?
-
What comes to mind? She said, Heaven? Any other? Uh?
-
Huh? The way to Christ any other? Uh huh. God's ruling.
-
Wow, God's ruling, God's ruling. I mean, every body and
-
every answer that has been given is correct, is correct. In church,
-
there's no wrong answer because the thread of God talks to us in different ways.
-
He gives us revelation based on how you want us to see things and
-
how you want us to move. Amen. So all answers are correct when
-
we come to the House of God. Amen, the Kingdom of God.
-
We have heard the Kingdom of God, and we keep hearing the Kingdom of
-
God at the time we come to church, we keep hearing the Kingdom of
-
God. Any time we meet as believers. But what is the Kingdom of
-
God. Over the last few weeks, I believe that Reverence, Ron,
-
mister Zena, pastor Baddy have all been talking about the Kingdom of God.
-
I believe that what I'm going to talk about some of them have even spoken
-
about it already. But it's just an emphasis to let you understand where we
-
are coming from, who we are, and where we are going. Amen,
-
now hear me, you can write this thing down. God's desire is
-
to fluence and control as seen world as en from an unseen world through a
-
seine man. Ye should I start again? Okay? So that desire of
-
God or God's desire is to influence and control as seen world from a non
-
seeing world. So as seeing world, which is the Earth, from a
-
nonsen world into bracket heaven through a nonseen man, which is the spirit of
-
man, through a nounseeen man in a seine man, which is the man
-
living, which is the flesh the body of man in a see world which
-
is Earth. I'm playing with English. So God's desire is to influence and
-
control a sein weld which is Earth, from a nonsen world which is Heaven
-
through a non seen man which is the spirit of man in a seine man,
-
which is the body of man in a sein world, which is earth.
-
All. What I'm trying to say is that God wants to rule and
-
control the earth. But how can God rule and control the earth. God
-
can only rule and control the earth through a man, through a man,
-
through a man. Now, when we talk about a kingdom, the moment
-
you hear the word kingdom, it should tell you of a territory or a
-
domain that is being controlled by a king. So a kingdom is a domain
-
or a territory that is being controlled or ruled by a king. Anytime he
-
had a kingdom, it means the king's domain. So kingdom is two worst
-
put together, which is a king and his domain. So king domain,
-
kings domain, kingdom kingdom. So kingdom is two west put together, which
-
is the king and his domain. So anytime you have kingdom, usually informula
-
of a territory or a domain that is being controlled or ruled or influenced by
-
a king. So in other words, when we're talking about the Kingdom of
-
God, we are talking about a territory or a domain that is being influenced
-
or controlled by God by God. Lawyer halle lawyer. Amen, I will
-
learn you something. We're just taking it gradually, and I pray at the
-
time will help me to do what I'm coming to do. Amen. So
-
God's kingdom or the kingdom of God is simply the domain within which God rules.
-
And that's why I like what you said, God's rulership or God's ruling.
-
Amen, God's ruling in Genesis chapter one, verse one. Take me
-
to Genus chapter one. That's one the Bible said in the beginning, God
-
created the heavens and the heth, the heavens and the earth. The heavens
-
and God created the heavens and the heed. Now I just believe that the
-
heavens is where God's thrun is, the heaven is where God's thrown is,
-
and we have the heath. The earth was created by God, and God
-
put man in it. In Genesis chapter two, after God had formed the
-
guardian or created the guardian in the east of eating, God made man or
-
fold man out of the dust of the earth and put man in the garden
-
and put money in the guardian. And God said, be fruitful, multiply,
-
replenish, subdue and half dominion. In Genesis chapter one, verse twenty
-
eighth, be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. And
-
finally half dominion, half dominium. I want to make a very strong statement
-
that God did not give to Man a church. God gave to Man a
-
territory, a kingdom. God gave to Man a territory. So after God
-
had greater the head, God gave it to Man that man be fruitful in
-
this earth, multiply in this earth, subdued the heed, and have dominion
-
over the head. God gave Man a kingdom. So, in other words,
-
what man lost wit you always say, and man felt man fair man
-
saying what man lost was not a religion, what man loss was not a
-
church. What man actually lost was a kingdom, that is his dominion,
-
dominio, kingdom, kingdom. Man lost his kingdom with God gave to Man
-
to ru. Man lost that kingdom and gave it to somebody we all know
-
as Satan. Satan. Man lost that kingdom and gave it to sit arived
-
from Genesis chapter four, when Man was asked out of the garden, was
-
sat out of the garden, was moved out of the garden. God's plan
-
was to restore this authority and this dominion man lost on it, which is
-
Man's kingdom. Hallelojah. So kingdom is very important, you see, for
-
you to become a Christian. For you as a Christian, it is important
-
to understand what kingdom is all about. And over the blood of them.
-
As I lay and as I study what kingdom is all about, it tends
-
to motivate me and know that I've lost a lot of time. We are
-
having a lot of challenges as a church and as people of God, as
-
Christians, fighting so many immoralities, fighting so many things because we lack understanding
-
in kingdom matters and kingdom principles. That's why we are struggling masturbation, That's
-
why we are struggling with conication. That's why we are struggling with alcohol.
-
We are struggling with pornography, we are struggling with soccer beds. We are
-
struggling all these things because why we lack understanding in kingdom matters and kingdom principles.
-
So I thank God for the life of everyone again for saying that we
-
are dealing with kingdom, the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of God,
-
the Kingdom of God. You can write this down. What is the kingdom.
-
What is the kingdom? What is a kingdom? So a kingdom is
-
defined as the governing influence. A kingdom is defined as the governing influence and
-
authority of a king over a territory which is normally called a domain or his
-
domain, and impacts it with his purpose, his will, and his intents.
-
So a kingdom is defining us a governing influence or the governing influence and
-
authority of a king over a territory which is normally called his domain, and
-
he impacts his domain with his purpose, his will, and it's intent.
-
That is a kingdom. And that is what God seeks to do in this
-
world. That is what God seeks to do in this world. God seeks
-
to impact the world with his purpose, which is will and it's intent,
-
his purpose, his will and it's intent, his papers, he's well and
-
it's intent. Man two, Chapter six, Best thirty three. They say
-
a scrapture. We all know the Bible said back sicky. First, the
-
kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things, and all these things
-
shall be added on to you. The re isn't why this scripture came.
-
I realized that man was following, and he's seeking for so many things.
-
Man was seeking for casts, man was seeking for houses, man was seeking
-
for wives, man was seeking for money, man was seeking for properties here
-
on earth. And God was saying that, you see, all these things
-
are important to yes, But this is what he says, said, But
-
Sicky, fast, instead of seeking all these things with the gentiles one believers
-
are seeking for you. You are of a different breed, a different brand.
-
You are from a different kingdom where you are not the slave, but
-
the king and the queen. And so Jesus said, is that a seeking
-
know all these things? Siki, First, the Kingdom of God, the
-
Kingdom of God, and that is all we are fraid. The Kingdom of
-
God is the domain or the territory where God rules. So seek the domain
-
where God is really. And also his righteousness represents his principles. Every kingdom
-
has principles, every kingdom has laws, every kingdom has order which you have
-
to follow. So what Jesus was saying was that, Sicky, first,
-
my kingdom, which is the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of God.
-
And also I've that's seeking the Kingdom of God. Follow what this kingdom presents.
-
Follow what this kingdom presents, and if it's only after you have followed
-
what the kingdom prison, which is the princippos that all these things. So
-
people say that I go to church, I'm acharister, I'm an usher.
-
I clap my hands and I come to church. But God is not answering
-
my prayer. No, God is not answering a prayer because you see you
-
are sicking. The kingdom. Yes, but he righteousness. It's a problem,
-
it's a problem. But I pray that today. By the time you
-
live here, you work knowing that you're part of a kingdom which is no
-
other kingdom but the Kingdom of God. Hallelujah, the Kingdom of God.
-
What does a kingdom seek to achieve? What does a kingdom seek to achieve?
-
In? Otherwise, what does the Kingdom of God seek to achieve?
-
Take me to Genesis Chatter one vers. Twenty eight. I want to break
-
that scripture down. Amen. Yeah, kingdom, kingdom, and God blessed
-
them, and God said to them be fruitful. So every kingdom or the
-
Kingdom of God is seeking fruitfulness. Number one, The Kingdom of God seeks
-
fruitfulness. Are you writing something? The Kingdom of God seeks fruitfulness, fruitfulness
-
to be fruitful means to be beneficial, to bear fruits to increase. That's
-
what it means to be fruitful, to be beneficial, to bear fruits,
-
to increase. And every kingdom wants to bead fruits. Every kingdom wants to
-
bear fruit. Every kingdom wants to be fruitful. Every kingdom, those of
-
you who are studied social studies, history, Ghana was corninalized by which which
-
which kingdom you said the British Ghana was coroninalized by the British. Is that
-
true or correct? Ghanah was coninalized by the British, and not only Ghana,
-
there are other African countries that the British were coninalizing. Why because they
-
want that to be fruitful, They want that to be beneficial, They want
-
that to do things that will let men know that chalent they are. They
-
are then they are in charge. And the definition I said that so that
-
the king will be able to impact that kingdom with his purpose, his will
-
and his intent. So the British came to Ghana, coronalized Ghana and impact
-
that in Ghana or Gold Coast. Their purpose, their will and they are
-
intent. Whatever was happening in Britain is what they decided to bring here on
-
this land Gold Coast at the time. And that is why you and I
-
we speak English. If we're conalized by the France, of French will be
-
speaking French. If we're conalized by the Portuguese, will be speaking some Portuguese
-
and some things here by your speaking English white because your colonial masters need there
-
to impact in you how they believe, how they do, the things,
-
how they move, how they talk, even the currency they spend. They
-
needed to bring it here. So at the point in time, Ghana were
-
spending pounds, shelling pounds it. So now we're spending gand nasty, which
-
cannot be matched to the dollar, to the pounds in any way that even
-
some of you and you get dar nacity, you want to go and change
-
and get dollars and put it down. Yeah, but what am I talking
-
about? Every kingdom and especially the Kingdom of God. Six fruitfulness, fruitfulness,
-
John chapter fifteen or sixteen. So I said, when you're part of
-
the Kingdom of God and you're not being fruitful, it's a challenge, it's
-
a worry. John fifteen sixty said that you have not chosen me, but
-
I have chosen you and ordained you. In other words, I have brought
-
you into my kingdom, and I've ordained you that as half annoying to you.
-
I have impacted in your knowledge. I have impacted in your wisdom.
-
I have impacted in your gifts. Why why have I done all these things
-
so that you should go out and bring forth fruits and that your fruits will
-
remain, That your fruits will remain. What fruit are you talking about?
-
So people who have lost their kingdom of God. God desires that his kingdom
-
will be fruitful. God desires that his kingdom will thrive, his kingdom grow,
-
His kingdom will grow, and proves after fourteen Vest twenty eight professed after
-
fourteen invest twenty eight proves fourteen twenty eight Jesus he said, in the multitude
-
of people is the king's honor. So God can only receive honor where there
-
are multitudes of people. In otherwise, being fruitful must bring into the Kingdom
-
of God multitudes of people. And that's why in starting I said, God
-
wants to influence and control and seeing world. God wants to control this earth.
-
And God cannot control this earth unless God has one of people, multiple
-
of people we need to be fruitful. The Kingdom of God desires or six
-
fruitfulness number two. The Kingdom of God seeks to multiply. The Kingdom of
-
God seeks to multiply. The Kingdom of God seeks to multiply the Kingdom of
-
God six to multiply. Multiplication simply means to increase, to increase, to
-
increase, was to increase territories. So what God was telling a damn even
-
after you created man, was that increase, increase, take more dominion,
-
take more territories, take more places, increase, take more territories. And
-
that's why the Bible said, for God has not given a de spirit of
-
fear, but of love, sound my power. Why so that we can't
-
take more territories, increase, increase. Every kingdom want to increase his territory.
-
Every kingdom, it's like that's the prime agenda of a kingdom is that
-
take dominion of territories, do have more. And that's why I'm in British
-
or Britain came to Ghana to have more territories. Talk about territories, to
-
have more territories. The Sunta Kingdom, it's not there to be one of
-
the strong kingdoms. In Ghana to a point where the Queen of Kingland being
-
recognized that there's Ana Santi Hini in Ghana. And in those days, the
-
Sun Takingdom fought many battles. Why so that they can increase their territories increase
-
The Santi Kingdom is somewhere an Ashanti region, but they also have a territory
-
across the domy bridge. I didn't know. I went to work in a
-
customers one time twenty twelve and I found myself in an area and they were
-
speaking Ashanti. They were speaking chea. I know those areas is aware and
-
are dying and was speaking cheap propage. What's happening here? He said,
-
Oh, it's one of the territories of the Santi Kingdom. So whoa?
-
So I see kingdoms always want to expand, increase their territories and taking new
-
territories. And that is what makes the king powerful. That's what makes the
-
king powerful. That's what that's what makes the king powerful, very powerful.
-
Kingdoms taking more territories. And that's what God seeks to do that you take
-
more territories, you take more territories. How can God take territories when we
-
have folded our arms that we have decided not to move. How can God
-
take territories when we are sitting in church and warming the chairs? How can
-
God take territories when we have decided I will not do entertaining the house of
-
God. What am I am I saying that stop school and become a pastor.
-
No, become a pastor in the bank you're working in. Become an
-
agent of God in that school you are in. I'm not saying just come
-
to church and come and work in church and go women does it. But
-
God wants to influence the earth. God wants to influence people. God want
-
to use you to take more territories. The territories God wants to take.
-
It's not land, because in Psalm twenty four, the Bible says the ad
-
is the Lord's and the fullness there off. So everything on this earth is
-
for God, it's forgot. So God is not in meaning of lands.
-
If God need lands, you take it. God is not in mid of
-
houses. If God wants houses, he will take it. He said in
-
my father's house. There are many machines that don't need houses here. But
-
what God wants is that God wants to take territories. And this territory God
-
wants to take is the heart, the soul of man, the soul of
-
man, the sorule of men. The Bible said, he that win need
-
the soul, it's wise. He that we need the soul. It's wise,
-
because it's not that he that winn needs the soul will become wise a
-
lot of times when read that scripture will confuse it. And he says that
-
when you win the soul, you become wise. No, no, no,
-
he win that the soul is wise? Why wise? Because why you
-
have understood kingdom principles. You have understood kingdom matterest. You know what God
-
wants and you've taken it up. You have taken up that duty. So
-
what it means is that one qualification of wisdom, or one qualication to wisdom,
-
qualication to wisdom, is for you to understand the heart bat of God,
-
the heart beat of God, the heart beat of God. God was
-
to increase. He wants to take more territories. You see, when when
-
we talk about the soul of money is another subject for another day. The
-
soul of mane is very very difficult to handle. That's why the Bible said,
-
what a man gain if he loses his soul and gain the whole world.
-
What what what have you gained? So it means that God, all,
-
let me say, Jesus, he created the soul of man to the
-
whole world. So for you too to win a soul and to be conscious
-
about winning the soul, it means that you are after the heart beat of
-
God. And that's why I reve around and here he's happy. Do you
-
know why? Because he's fulfilling God's mandate to multiply. So he's yeah,
-
he has money and you'll be jealous of him. He's here and he's simple.
-
Have been a very beautiful wife sitting on the back. When I saw
-
her, I said, wow, child, this woman beautiful. But that's
-
how it is when you're following the principles of God and obeying what God wants
-
and pray what God desires. God, we take care of you. God,
-
what are you talking about the Kingdom of God? The Kingdom of God?
-
Multiplication? So as I'm pretty, and shou'd be asking yourself, I
-
might be fruitful my helping the Kingdom of God, I might be am I
-
multiplying and were taking more territies. What every drave are taken so far?
-
Being a Christian for the past twenty years, ever since we were born,
-
for the past thirteen years since we were born, for the past nineteen years,
-
eighteen years, fifteen years since we were born. You, as you
-
should be asking yourself, what ever drave are taken? For God? Who
-
are I spoken to? Who are I spoken to? What the trave I
-
taken? Because there is no time. God wants to increase his kingdom by
-
taking more territories, by taking more territories, more lands. And like I
-
said, the land God wants to take. It's not the land we see,
-
but the land is the heart of man, the soul of man.
-
No man trade replenish, to replenish. So the Kingdom of God seeks to
-
replenish, replenish Harry p l E n s h. Replenish, replenished is
-
to restall. When we said to replenish all, Lord, all I said
-
is to restore or to rebuild, To restore, to rebuild, or or
-
to bring back something that was lost, to bring back something that was lost,
-
to replenish, or to make something full or complete. To replenish or
-
replenish. So the Kingdom of God seeks to replenish. What is the Kingdom
-
of God, replenishing, replenishing to restore, replenishing what meant the Kingdom of
-
God seeks to replenish men, men who are lost, men who are we
-
love the Kingdom of God. And that's why he says Christ king. That's
-
why he says, k Jesus came to restore and reconcilement back into the kingdom.
-
So Jesus is not started church. A lot of times we confuse my
-
two sisteen eighteen and we say that on this rock I will build my church.
-
So Jesus came to start the church. No, no, no,
-
that church that represents my people, God's people, and that represents a kingdom,
-
not a religion, a kingdom, not a religion, the kingdom.
-
So Christ came to replenish, to restore, to reconsilened men back to God.
-
And I said king as a queen in God's kingdom, this should be
-
our desire. So Jesus. In Ma two, chapter nine, verse thirty
-
six, Biboy said, when we saw the multitudes, he was moved the
-
compassion on them. Why because they were filtered, that scattered abroad as sheep
-
having no shepherd. So Jesus smooth the compassion and I know something needs to
-
be done. I need to replenish saple. I need to bring them back.
-
I need to restont on to them what they have lost and what have
-
they lost. They have lost authority, they have lost their place in their
-
kingdom. They have lost it. You said, when you see your friends,
-
what's your pornography? When you see your friends play such a bed,
-
when you see your friends fornicating, you shouldn't say look at you and pass.
-
No, no, no, you should be worried. You should call
-
them and even cry and say, God, help my brother, help my
-
sister. Let them change, replenish them, reconcile them, rebuild them.
-
That should be a prayer. Don't laugh and leave them and think that me
-
I'm a Christians. Show me I don't deal with sach people don't work on
-
they say for me, I'm a Christians. So the paple are not They
-
are not my my type. No, no, no, they should they
-
should be your type. So the Bible said in my two chapter five ver
-
Sistem, he said, let your light so shine before men Matthew five sixteen,
-
that they may see your good works and glorify your father, which is
-
in heaven. Become worried. Become the lights to replenish the lives of people.
-
Become the salt. He said, for ye, the salt and light
-
of the head. The scripture before this one's fourteen six fifteen. For you
-
are the salt, for you are desault, does it? That's him here
-
the salt replenish. We are salt to replenish, to bring back. So
-
he said, where my dad cooks at home, and she takes the foodge
-
and no, no, no, something is missing A lot of times.
-
All what mother will do is going to take some salts and put it on
-
the food. The food has come. As now the food has not arrived.
-
The food does not arrived. Replenish And this was a kildom of Gossics.
-
The Kingdom of God seeks us to replenish a dying world. The dying
-
world, the dying world. You have a lot of friends. Even as
-
you're sitting here, you're chatting with some of them, and they're telling you
-
me, I'm home, where I'm waiting, I'm watching some series. They're
-
chatting to you, and also responded, why you're in churches of writing notes?
-
You see that? You have you seen that scientists, So things are
-
becoming difficult for us as Christians because we've neglected the Kingdom of God and the
-
principles phanoma fault. Subd you. The Kingdom of God expects us to sabd
-
you, to sub to you, to sub you. What does it mean
-
to subd you? To subdue is to bring under complete control, to bring
-
under complete control, complete control. So anything that that work brings to you,
-
you bring it under complete control, bringing issues under complete control. And
-
that's why I love it when the Bible says that for God, that's not
-
giving us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of
-
a sound mind. So the why we can bring issues under control, can
-
bring is under control, to control myt that's the king name of God.
-
God expects you to speak like a king. God expects you to work up
-
and command issues like a king. Does you see in the kingdom the words
-
of a king don't just fall to the ground. The words of a king
-
are all this, they are lost. So the king that's not just up
-
in his mouth. No, No, that's why the king has a linguist
-
or I'm not charming however you call it, or a messenger. He has
-
to talk to the messenger for the messenger too, I mean extend what he
-
has said to the people. So when there's a mistake, you need a
-
messenger can easy correct that thing. So God's lets us to move in a
-
certain dimension to come true, to take control territories, territories, territories,
-
come true, come true, first bitter, For you are actusing generation first
-
bitter, Chapter two, verse nine. And this is what it means.
-
You see, when we say God is the king of kings, it's not
-
that God is somewhere and there are king somewhere. You are a king and
-
you are the queen by year seeing generation, a royal priesthood and holy nation
-
and peculiar people underlying the royal priesthood. That's what I want you to understand.
-
So the Kingdom of God is a kingdom where there are no sevants.
-
Is the only kingdom where everybody in the kingdom is a king, where everybody
-
in the kingdom is a son or a daughter to the king. There are
-
no servants. In the Kingdom of God, there are no saving that one
-
is a king. Everybody rules, everybody rules, everybody rules, everybody is
-
happen. And that's why the Bible said, for our seen an error,
-
proceeding up of the sun, that kings of queens and princes are working and
-
in seven riding horses. Our plays have been given to other people. What
-
you're supposed to do, you have given it to somebody, and you're struggling.
-
If you understand kingdom principles, learning becomes easy because when you take your
-
book, you tell yourself, I am a king, I am a queen,
-
and therefore my kingdom shall not fail. My kingdom shall not fail.
-
I will not get an F, I'll not get a D. The worst
-
I will gets does it control? Control? Essay, I am a king
-
and a queen. I will rule my world just as God wants me to
-
rule. Say in my academics, I will rule in my life. I
-
will rule. Say I will do well for the Kingdom of God. And
-
lastly, to have dominion, to have domino write it down, to have
-
domino, that's the fit point. To have dominion, to have dominion.
-
To have dominion means to have authority a place, to have authority, to
-
have power, to have authority, and to have power dominion, to have
-
authority, power control, command, So to have authority, power, control
-
and command, to have dominion, to govern or to rule, so to
-
have control, command, power, authority, governing or government, and also
-
rulership. That's to have dominion. And God expects us to have dominion.
-
The Kingdom of God is not for just anybody at all. The Kingdom of
-
God for people who have accept their Jesus Christ as their lord and personal say,
-
that is the criteria to enter. After man lost his place in the
-
kingdom. So the Bible said in John Festival, as many as received or
-
believed in him, to them, gave me power to become sons. And
-
for them my daughters of God. Is that But as many us received him
-
to them gave he powered to become the sons of God, given to them
-
that believe on his name. So for you to upbraid as a king and
-
a queen, you must first believe in Jesus. The Kingdom of God is
-
so sweet. You see. For some time now as I studied the Kingdom
-
of God, it is giving me some some serious power, is some some
-
courage, like you know, you're not afraid, And that's what And you
-
see, that was what I saw in the lives. I saw that in
-
the life of Jesus, because the guy knew who he was, No He
-
was not afraid of anything like our father, our father Sam that bishop,
-
he's not afraid of any Father, he's not afraid of any come with him
-
with Russia bomb, He's not afraid. The man would just stand and declare,
-
declare you see some of you? You see? If you understand what
-
kingdom is about, you not come to God and cry no, no,
-
no. We don't cry before God. Hey Father, I need this,
-
I need this. Then you crying no no, no, no no.
-
In the Kingdom of God, we deal with rights. What is your rights?
-
That's what Father says, the prey descripture, prayer de scriptures, that
-
is your rights, pray descriptures. We don't come for good and cry emotions.
-
God does not do with emotions, so it does not deal with emotions
-
now because your emotion, I should give you no principles, rights, the
-
right. That's it. The Kingdom of God. And for you to experience
-
this Kingdom of God, the key that opens this door is to believe in
-
His son, Jesus Christ. Rise to your faith, Rise to your feet,
-
Rise to your feet,
