-
Amen. And so the Kingdom, the subject of the Kingdom of God,
-
is a very important subject in our Christian work and in our Christian faith,
-
all right. It's, if not one of the most important, it is
-
the most important, because the Kingdom of God. When you understand the Kingdom
-
of God, it reveals to us who we truly are as children of God,
-
all right. And so it is not enough just to be called a
-
Christian. How many of you are Christians here? Can you give the Lord
-
away? Amen? Everybody is a Christian here. It is not enough just
-
to be called a Christian. It is not enough just to be a member
-
of the Youth Church in Action Chapel International. It is not enough, all
-
right. But as children of God who are bought by the precious blood of
-
the Lord Jesus Christ, you need to understand your placement in the Kingdom of
-
God, all right. So the Church is part of the Kingdom of God
-
on earth. And so Jesus came to reveal the Kingdom of God to us.
-
And so today join me. Let's go on a short journey to have
-
some information about the Kingdom of God. Amen. And so let's take our
-
foundation scripture this morning from Matthew, chapter six, verse nine to thirteen.
-
Matthew Chapter six, verse nine to thirteen. And this is Jesus and his
-
disciples. At one point the disciples came to Jesus and said to him,
-
teach us how to pray. And you see, if you have a Bible
-
and you read your bible, you have a quiet time, and you read
-
every word that Jesus spoke, you have to treasure everywhere that Jesus spoke,
-
because everywhere that Jesus spoke there's a mystery behind everywhere that Jesus has spoken in
-
the world of God, which is beneficial to us, all right. And
-
so Jesus said to them, when you are praying, pray in this manner.
-
He gave them a pattern. He said, pray our Father in Heaven,
-
hallowed be your name. So he talks about your reverence to God.
-
Jo understand, there's some people when they get food and they're about to eat,
-
thank you Jesus for this is Jesus name. Amen. Someone of you
-
said you will pray before you put the food in your mouth, and after
-
you've children the thing is going there and say, oh, I forgot to
-
pray, Father, thank you for the food. On my plate and the
-
one inside my throat. There's some you do it, you get it by
-
Jesus gave a pattern. He talk he's talking about reverence. So you need
-
to reverence God. In the Book of Problems, a writer says that acknowledge
-
God in all your way. So he says that our father in heaven.
-
And so Jesus revealed to us that, children of God, we have a
-
father in heaven. We have a father in heaven, Johanna San apart from
-
your earthly father on earth, we have another father in heaven. And so
-
Jesus revealed our father in heaven to us in this prayer. He said,
-
halloweed be your name. Next verse. Then he said something very amazing.
-
He said, your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it
-
is in heaven. Is that your kingdom come, your Kingdom. So Jesus
-
introduced the Kingdom of God to us while he was teaching his disciples the pattern
-
of prayer. All right, and so the Kingdom of God is very real.
-
The Kingdom of God is very important. And as a child of God,
-
you need to know the Kingdom of God. Amen. You need to
-
know how the kingdom operates. You need to know the principles of the Kingdom.
-
You need to know the government of the Kingdom. You need to know
-
how the Kingdom of God is. And so although the Kingdom of God we
-
can attribute it to the physical Church on earth, the Kingdom of God in
-
itself is not so physical. But the Kingdom of God is very spiritual.
-
I hope you understand. Amen. Oh Amen, are you in charge or
-
you've closed? You are here? Amen. And so Jesus taught the vital
-
details about the Kingdom of God and reveal the Kingdom of God and how the
-
Kingdom of God operates and all with what Jesus was saying is that the Kingdom
-
of God is everywhere that God reigns, everywhere that God rules, and everywhere
-
that the will of God is done. Amen. Everywhere God reigns, everywhere,
-
God rules everywhere the king the will of God is done. So if
-
God reigns in the youth church, if the will of God is done in
-
the youth church, the Kingdom of God will be manifest in the youth church.
-
And so every benefits that is in the Kingdom of God that we can
-
potentially as children who God tap into, is made available to us. Amen.
-
And so we can enjoy all the benefits. One of the things that
-
is very prevalent in the kingdom is testimonies in the youth church. Every week,
-
by the grace of God, we have a testimony about the goodness of
-
God. Amen. And so here God reigns, God rules, and the
-
will of God is done. Here. Can I hear an Amen? Can
-
I hear a better Amen? Oh? Let me hear an also Amen?
-
Amen? And so please let's write a feth and so in the Book of
-
Done chapter two, verse thirty one to thirty five. In Daniel, chapter
-
two, verse thirty one to thirty five, a very interesting verse thirty one
-
to thirty five. How many of you have heard about King nebukad Nasa,
-
King Nebu Nebu. King Nebu had a dream that troubled him, and he
-
didn't understand the dream. So he said to all the wise men in his
-
kingdom that I need someone to tell me the dream that I have had.
-
I'm not going to tell you. You tell me the dream that I had
-
last night, and explained to me the dream that I had. That's a
-
difficult thing there is if I come and tell you the dream I had nights,
-
tell me the dream. Are you able to tell the dream? It's
-
not possible because when he was sleeping, he was sleeping on his bed alone.
-
So how can someone come and tell you the dream that you had on
-
your own bed? Maybe your dream you d Banco, So the dream is
-
inspired by Bancoo, you edit the Alan. So nobody in the kingdom could
-
explain the dream. And he said that if nobody can, then he will
-
kill all the wise men in the country. Hey, he said, you
-
would kill everybody. So while the soldiers were going around arresting all the wise
-
men, then the information came to Daniel. How many of you have heard
-
about Daniel. The information came to Daniel. So Daniel enquired, why is
-
the king in such a hurry to kill everybody? So they found out why
-
the king. So they went to the king to ask that give us some
-
time so that we can seek the face of our God for your dream and
-
then the interpretation of it. So Daniel went to his friends and told them
-
they prayed, and guess what God revealed the dream? Amen? And God
-
revealed the interpretation of the dream. And God revealed the mystery behind the dream.
-
Amen, please preach to your neighbor and tell your neighbor, do you
-
know God knows the mystery about your life? God, he knows the mystery
-
about your life. So Daniel went to the king and said to the king,
-
Oh, King, you were watching, and behold a great image with
-
splendor was excellent, stood before you, and its form was awesome. So
-
King Nebu god NASA's dreamed that he dreamt he saw a statue, a big
-
statue that looked awesome. Next verse, this image head was of fine gold,
-
he said, the image you saw in your dream, The head was
-
made of gold. Am I lying there? Yes, you're right, You're
-
right, he said. The chest of the image you saw, and the
-
arms were made of silver, he said. The belly of the image you
-
saw was made of what bronze? Next verse he said, the legs of
-
the image the statue you saw, the legs were made of iron, and
-
its feet were partly of iron and partly of clay. Let's look at the
-
next verse. You watched. So while you saw the image in your dream,
-
you were seeing the image. You were watching the image, how beautiful
-
it was. And suddenly you saw a stone was cut out without hands,
-
which struck the image on its feet. The feet of iron and clay and
-
broke them in pieces. So the image you saw that was beautiful, superfluous,
-
fantastic. A stone hit it at the foot and broke it in pieces.
-
Next days, he said, then the iron, the clay, the
-
bronze and silver and the gold were crashed together. Imagine that the iron,
-
they go, Everything was crashed together because of that one stone, and became
-
like chaff. After I got crashed, it became like chaff from summer thraction
-
flows. And the wind carried them away. So there was no trace found
-
of them. The wind carried them away. There was no trace found of
-
them, and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and failed
-
the whole earth. Next, vess this is the dream, King Nebu.
-
Now we will tell you the interpretation of the dream. Isn't God wonderful?
-
You see the detail with which God revealed the dream to them, And he
-
didn't only reveal the dream, He gave them the interpretation of the dream,
-
the mystery behind. So he says that let's look at the interpretation of the
-
dream. Oh King, you, oh king, are king of kings.
-
Babylon in those days was the reigning kingdom. He had conquered so many territories
-
on earth. So Babylon was the civilization in those days, and King Nebuchadneza
-
was the king over those civilizations. So the reason why it caused him,
-
oh, King, you are king of kings, is that Nebuchadneza had conquered
-
so many kings. So he was a class prefect of kings, you understand.
-
So you see the way in school we have so many class prefects,
-
but then there's a head boy or a head girl who is class perspect over
-
those ones. King Nebka was class prefect over all the other kings. He
-
says, for the God of Heaven has given you a kingdom. So in
-
this vision that King Nebuchadneza had, God was revealing the concept of kingdom to
-
him. I hope you understand. I'm laying a foundation so that when we
-
come back to the Kingdom of God, you have a better understanding of it.
-
And he says, he has given you a kingdom, power, strength,
-
and glory. Next vest and wherever the children or men dwell, and
-
the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, he has given
-
them into your hands and has made you ruler over them. So you see
-
a kingdom speaks of rulership. So a king rules over a kingdom. And
-
it says you are the head of gold. So it says the Kingdom of
-
Babylon, it is the head. The image you saw. The head is
-
the Kingdom of Babylon. Next verse. But after you shall arise another kingdom
-
which is inferior to you, Another kingdom will come after you. Though you
-
have conquered many kingdoms, another kingdom that is less inferior will come and conquer
-
you, and they will rule over you. Joanna san. And it says
-
that then another, a third kingdom of bronze, shall rule over all the
-
earth. It shall rule over all the earth. Next verse. And a
-
fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron. In as much as iron breaks
-
in peace said, shatters everything. And like ion that crashes, that kingdom
-
will break in pieces and crash others. So the fourth kingdom was made of
-
iron, and it was a strong kingdom that was going around, crashing and
-
conquering people, conquering nations. Next verse. Whereas you saw the feet and
-
toes partly of porters, clay and ion. The kingdom shall be divided,
-
Yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw
-
the iron mixed with the ceramic clay verse forty two. And the toes of
-
the feet were partly of ion and partly of clay. So the kingdom shall
-
be partly strong and partly fragile. And you saw the ion mixed with ceramic
-
clay, and they mingled with the seed of men, but they did not
-
adhere to one another, just as ion does not mix with clay. So
-
is re feeling in that kingdom. There will be a mixture of things.
-
There will be an intermingling of things with the children of God, with the
-
children of men. Amen. How many of you know here that demons exist?
-
How many of you know also that demons want to make you their residents,
-
They want to make you their home address. How many of you know
-
that because demons are disembodied spirits, they need a human being in order to
-
live and to operate and work through. So if we talk about people like
-
Adolf Hitler, how many of you have heard Adolf Hitler. You know he's
-
a wicked guy. I think he has the record of the most wicked person
-
on earth who has ever lived. I don't know if there's anybody else.
-
You get it. But the natural man does not have the propensity to be
-
that wicked if he doesn't have demons who are operating in him. You understand.
-
Yes, So as as Noble is standing here, sitting here, all
-
noble like his name, he can't just get up and go and slap daisy.
-
Jo understand unless there is something that is propelling him to go and do
-
it. You understand. And so he says that the Fourth Kingdom will come
-
such that there are things in that kingdom that will mingle with other things with
-
human beings. So we are in an age and in a season, in
-
a kingdom where demons are making their board in human beings. And because of
-
that, the people are behaving in bad ways. They are liking boys very
-
much. At thirteen years, their body count is ten. Do you understand
-
the English? And I'm speaking. At fourteen years, their body count is
-
twenty. And they are doing things that even grown ups don't know. They
-
know things because of the intermingling of demons. JO understand. And So,
-
because you are created in the image and likeness of God, Satan is very
-
envious of you. Satan doesn't want you to be anything God has said you
-
to be, and so because of that, they will put demons inside of
-
you so that you go far away from what God has called you to be.
-
Jo understand. There was a woman called Mary Magdalene. She was infested
-
by seven demons, not one, not two, not three, seven Why
-
because of the papers of God in her life. The demons were there to
-
trouble her and make sure she doesn't fulfill God's purpose. She ended up being
-
a prostitute. Jannacon there's a mad man of Gadara who was on the other
-
side of the Sea of Galilee. He had gone mad, and he used
-
to cut himself. He used to cut himself when they change him. There
-
were six thousand demons in one human being. When they put a chain on,
-
he'll just do this like something. Then the chain is broken. Why
-
because of the papers of God. When Jesus went and delivered him and cast
-
the devils out. The Bible says that dad man, who was a mad
-
man, who used to sleep where dead people sleep, who used to eat
-
garbage, food, you get it, who used to cut himself, He
-
became a pastor and he took the gospel to ten cities, telling them about
-
goodness of God. Do you understand. And so kingdoms are very important,
-
all right, And so he revealed to him, let's go to and he
-
says that in the days of these kings, the God of Heaven will set
-
up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. So the four kingdoms were destroyed
-
by that stone, and that stone represents the kingdom of God. He says
-
that God will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. Please ask
-
your neighbor for free. You want to be part of a kingdom that has
-
been destroyed or can be destroyed, or one that can never be destroyed?
-
Oh? Please ask your neighbor. Do you want to be part of a
-
kingdom black can be destroyed or the one that cannot be destroyed? Amen?
-
What did they tell you? They want to be part of the one that
-
can be destroyed? Please? Who knows where the Babylonian king can Babylon where
-
is? It's now destroyed like chaff. We don't know where they see where?
-
If you go there, where's neighbor? Card needs their seats? It's
-
not the here, do you understand? The next one was the meadow Passian
-
Empire or the Kingdom meadow Passion Kingdom. So the arms, two kingdoms ruling
-
together, Meadow and Passion. They are not existent anymore, they are not
-
there. Do you understand? The next one was the Greek Empire. If
-
you go to Greece, now those they are buildings that they used to build
-
their castles and palaces and arrest. You see, it's all broken down.
-
It's tourist attraction. Now they are ruins. So you're going go and stand
-
by it, and you take a picture by a broken building. Do you
-
understand? The Roman Empire? Where the Roman Empire? The Roman Empire is
-
destroy do you understand? And so the Kingdom of God is a kingdom that
-
God has introduced that will never be destroyed. Are you excited about that?
-
The Kingdom of God is a kingdom that God has brought that will never be
-
destroyed. Amen. And so it's very important that we understand these things,
-
all right. And so in Matthew chapter thirteen, how many of you read
-
did the region assignment of Matthew chapter thirteen? Anybody give the Lord a way?
-
If you read Matthew chapter thirteen, nobody or those who do the region
-
assignments, they have not come to church today. Those who lo quire time
-
have not come to church a man. If you haven't read it, please
-
go and read it. Matthew Chapter thirteen, From verse one to verse fifty
-
four, Jesus talks about many parables in the Kingdom of God. He talks
-
about many parables to reveal to us what the Kingdom of God is. Okay,
-
So in Matthew Chapter thirteen, let's look at verse one, the parable
-
of the Sula. Let's look at verse two, verse three, and he
-
spoke many things to them in parables. He spoke many things to them in
-
parables. Now what is a parable? A parable is like a story that
-
makes a complex thing simple to understand. You understand. So a parable makes
-
complex things easy to understand. Because when Jesus came in, he was talking
-
about the Kingdom of God. The people they were not getting it because he
-
says, where I come from, there are many mansions. There are many
-
mansions, and after today people don't believe that there are mansions in heaven.
-
Do you understand? So Jesus used parables in order to explain the Kingdom of
-
God. Jesus spoke forty three parables. If you are interested in the Kingdom
-
of God, Gwen research, he spoke forty three parables. Thirteen of those
-
parables had to do with the Kingdom of God. So he used things like
-
agriculture a Greek to explain things about the Kingdom of God. He used things
-
like fishing to explain the Kingdom of God. So there are many parables.
-
The first one he spoke about was the parable of the Sua. The parable
-
of the Sua, And he said to them, behold, as Soa went
-
out to so who goes out to soul a farmer. So he says,
-
as Soa went out to soul. Next verse, and as he sold some
-
seed. So you see he's talking about womb as Soa and a seed a.
-
Soa is not a carpenter, and Soa is not a mechanic Jonathan,
-
and Soa is a farmer. And his preoccupation is to sow seed. And
-
what is the end game for every farmer? Yes, harvest the end game
-
of the purpose. Why any farmer will plant anything so they can harvest.
-
So if I come to your garden and I plant tomato seeds, and I
-
go and come back in two months, what do I expect to see.
-
I expect to see tomatoes. For those of you who say tomato, this
-
is tomatoes. Amen, if I come to your garden, I plant apples,
-
what do I see? Apples? Apples? I expect to see apples.
-
Right, If I come and plants bananas, what do I expect to
-
see? Not pop? Do you understand? So it says that saw went
-
out and sold seed, and as he was sowing the seed, some fell
-
by the wayside, So he was casting out the seed. So you see
-
in the olden days, the families they have a bag that has a lot
-
of seed inside. So as they are walking, the land is vast,
-
so they form one logo logo line and they all face this way. So
-
as they are going, then they'll be casting the seed like that until they
-
get to the end. So as they were casting the seeds, some fell
-
by the wayside, and beds came and devoured them. So the seeds that
-
fell by the wayside, the beds came and ate them quickly. Is next
-
verse. Sound fell on stony ground where they did not have much earth,
-
and they did not have much and immediately it sprang up. But because it
-
had no depth in the earth. Next verse, But when the sun was
-
up, they were scorched, and because they had no roots, they withered
-
away. Amen. How many of you have done a little a great science,
-
integrated science. There's a great in integrator science. Right, How many
-
of you have done small? How many of you have planted their seeds before?
-
You've planted their seed before? Yes, if you see, if you
-
haven't planted the sea before, and when your mother screen, when take to
-
mental seeds and go outside and plant it, you'll understand this. So the
-
seeds that fell on rocky ground because there was no good soil. When the
-
sun came out, it scorched the seed, and the seed died next verse.
-
But some fell among thorns. So while they were casting it, there
-
was a bush of thorns. Some of the seeds fell inside. It sprang
-
up, but as it was growing, the thorns stroked the seed. Next
-
verse. But others fell on good ground. Others fell on good ground.
-
Some fell on good ground, loam soil abby. He fell on loam soil,
-
not not seas And it felt not clay, yes, not. It
-
fell on load me's good ground. And he yielded a crop, and some
-
a hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirty fold. Let's go to verse eleven.
-
And so his desire post came to Jesus and said to him that,
-
why do you speak in parables. If the thing is red, just say
-
it is red. Why do you have to use the farmer and go and
-
come, and go and come. And Jesus said to them that, because
-
it is given to you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven,
-
please elbow your neighbor and tell them God has given you the knowledge of the
-
mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen, because the mysteries of the Kingdom
-
of Heaven have been given to you, but to them it has not been
-
given. So because you are born again, the mysteries of the kingdom have
-
been given to you. Let's go to the next verse. Next verse,
-
it says that for whoever has to him more shall be given, and he
-
will have abundance. But whoever does not even what he has, will be
-
taken away from him. Somebody say, ay, he that has more shall
-
be given. Imagine andre gana and then I had thousand Gandara two eight.
-
It is amen, he imagine, have one CD. That is all you
-
have, and we take the one CD away from you. He that has
-
more shall be given. He that has not even the letter that he has
-
shall be taken away from him. Amen. Next verse, therefore I speak
-
to them in parables, because seeing, they do not seek. People who
-
are who are not born again, they have eyes, but they can't really
-
see, because people who are not born again, when they come to church
-
and the presence of God is here, they will not see. They don't
-
know. They have ears, but they can't hear. You understand, they
-
have ears, but they can't hear, nor do they understand. So when
-
they hear even thinks about the Kingdom of God, they don't understand. That
-
is we're talking about. They don't understand. Next vest there's fourteen, and
-
in them the prophecy of ours eye is fulfilled. He says, hearing you
-
will hear and shall not understand, and seeing you will see and not perceive.
-
There's fifteen, and so he these soil conditions the Lord spoke about that
-
relates to the Kingdom of God. He's talking about heart conditions, heart conditions.
-
Can we say together, heart conditions, heart conditions. Amen. So
-
when it comes to the Kingdom of God, your heart condition is important.
-
Your heart's condition is important. It's your heart's condition like the wayside where you
-
receive the seed, which is the word of God and because you don't understand,
-
because you are like an unbeliever, the devil comes to steal it out
-
of your heart. Or is your heart's condition like the rocky ground where there
-
is no depth? And so you receive the Word of God with gladness,
-
But as tribulation comes, when they start calling your proper selful mammy or selful,
-
and because of that, you can't follow your friends to do the things
-
they want you to do or you want to do. When persecution comes,
-
you lose your faith. Do you have that heart condition or do you have
-
that heart condition that has tones that you are preoccupied with chalet, This shoe
-
doesn't match with this dress, this makeup? Will you go with this one?
-
Do I do makes much blue and black, red and green? Or
-
you are preoccupied with wanting to drive and Mecedes eight twenty two Classic twenty eighteen,
-
twenty nineteen model. You are preoccupied with making money. You are preoccupied
-
with bets Niger. You are preoccupied with betting that the cares of life choke
-
the word of God out of your heart. Or you have a heart condition
-
that can receive the seed of God's word that because the seed of God's word
-
falls on good ground, a crop images that brings forth fruits in its season
-
hundred fold thirty four sixty four. Which heart's condition do you have? Because
-
in the Kingdom of God, your heart's condition matters. Amen, In the
-
Kingdom of God, your heart's condition matters. And God expects every child of
-
God to be fruitful. But how fruitful you will be is determined by your
-
heart condition. Amen, it is determined by words. It is determined by
-
words, your heart's condition. Please ask your neighbor what heart condition do you
-
have? Please ask your other neighbor, what heart condition do you have?
-
Amen? And so for today, a need for you to really examine yourself.
-
What is your heart condition? All right? Because for you to be
-
fruitful is dependent on your heart's condition. So the seed, the seed,
-
which is the Word of God. The seed is what the seed is.
-
What do you know? There are some people They don't like the word of
-
God at all. Do you know some of them? Have you met some
-
of them? You have? Let's go joined chapter eight, verse forty seven.
-
Joined Chapter eighth, verse forty seven. Can we read it together?
-
Three two one go? So he says, what please give us the message
-
translation, Let's look at something there. Let's read it three two one goal.
-
He who is on whose side? Does what? Listens to God's word?
-
Let's read on? Please, let's read it again? Hey, three
-
two one goal? Yes, please, I didn't write the Bible. This
-
is God's word all right. Anyone who is on God's side listens to God's
-
word. You are not listening to God. You don't like God's word.
-
When we start preaching all that, you tune out because you are not on
-
God's side. Johannderstand. So we can call you a pretender, can't we?
-
Yes, we can call you a lying pretender because you are. You
-
are swindling. You are pretending to like God. By chela, you don't
-
like God because anyone who is on God's side does word, listens to God's
-
word. And so a sign that you are born again is that you desire
-
the word of God. How many of us are born again? Yeah?
-
Amen, we are born again. I wish I were born again. We
-
really show do we desire the word of God? One sign that you are
-
born again is that you desire the word of God. Those days when we
-
started the youth, there are some people the moment we start preaching or then
-
they get up. There's like there's there are pins in their bathos. They
-
can't sit down. It's a sign that you're not on God sign Amen.
-
Number two reasons if you're writing, one sign of truly being born again is
-
that Christ Jesus is your life. Christ Jesus is your life. So in
-
the Kingdom of God, we are born again people whose life is based on
-
Christ Jesus life Collusions, chapter two, verse twenty. Collosians, Chapter two,
-
verse twenty. Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles
-

in the word of God. So his expression was more of the Word of
-
God that was in him. So it says that I will meditate on their
-
statutes. Amen. And so please preach your neighbor for free while we are
-
standing up. Tell your neighbor that if you want to prospine the Kingdom of
-
God, you need to meditate on the word of God. Amen.
