TOPIC: ✨HEIRS OF HIS KINGDOM ✨
📖…Jesus came into Galilee , preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God , And saying , The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand…(Mark 1:14-15).
The Lord Jesus brought and offered the Kingdom to the Jews ; He preached to them saying , “ The kingdom of God is at hand” ( Matthew 3:2 ;Matthew 4: 17 ;Mark 1: 14 - 15 ; Luke 10:9) .
However, they rejected His message and turned down His offer of the kingdom.As a result, He declared to them , “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce it’s fruit”(Matthew 21:43 NIV).
The kingdom was offered, and all those who accepted its message received eternal life . Christians are those who have accepted the message of the kingdom , received eternal life into their spirits , and are now members- citizens and heirs of that kingdom.
No wonder the Bible tells us in Romans 8:16 -17 ( NKJV), “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God , and if children, then heirs - -heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him , that we may also be glorified together.”
Despite living in a world filled with wickedness and evil, He has granted us this extraordinary privilege to be heirs of His kingdom . We’re not of this world . We don’t belong in Satan’s realm ; we’re not under Satan’s jurisdiction or authority .
The Bible says in Colossians 1:13 that God has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His Love -son .Blessed be God! Also , He’s made us kings and priests in His glorious Kingdom to produce fruits of the Kingdom- fruits of righteousness and eternal life.
We’re the ones Peter referred to when he said , “ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people ; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who had called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for making me an heir of your glorious Kingdom.I recognize that I have received eternal life and have become a citizen and member of this Kingdom; therefore, I’m alienated from the depravities ,corruption and decadence in this present world. I’m enthroned with you , far above principalities and powers, in Jesus’Name. Amen
