Rhapsody Of Realities, December 23rd 2024. PROGENIES OF THE KINGDOM

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD

That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:15).

The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it (Luke 16:16 NKJV).

The Kingdom of God is a real Kingdom, howbeit, a spiritual one, and being born again, we’re progenies of the Kingdom. The Kingdom of God includes everything under God’s dominion, both on earth and in Heaven. But there’s also the Kingdom of Heaven, which is the earthly manifestation of the Kingdom of God, set up by Jesus.

So, when Jesus came and said, “The Kingdom of God is at hand” (Matthew 3:2, Mark 1:15), He was referring to the Kingdom of Heaven that He had come to establish or set up in the earth. This is the Kingdom that Jesus began to preach and to make known, something others couldn’t do because they hadn’t entered it themselves—it was promised to them.

But Jesus preached it and then brought us into it through the New Birth. Hallelujah! Colossians 1:12-13 says, “Giving thanks unto the Father…Who hath…translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.”

So, today, the same Kingdom that Jesus Himself preached is what He’s commissioned us to preach to the ends of the earth: “And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God…” (Luke 9:2). But one day, very soon, this Kingdom, which is in the spirit realm right now, will manifest in this world and take over this world.

Intensify your efforts and stop at nothing in ensuring the good news of the Kingdom spreads to the ends of the earth; win more souls into the Kingdom. The Lord Jesus, referring to being born again, said in John 3:5, “…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”

It’s our responsibility to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom so that every man, woman, boy and girl on the face of the earth might hear, believe and be brought into the Kingdom. Remember the words of the Master in Matthew 24:14, “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Blessed be God!

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you, because now that l’m born again, your Kingdom is in my heart. I proclaim the glorious news of your saving power to those who’re held bound by the shackles of the adversary, bringing them out of damnation into the glorious liberty of your Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I have all things that pertain to life and godliness.

I function by His power and glory today

My body is divinely programmed to put out and annihilate every disease-causing bacterium, virus, or fungus that attempts to fasten itself to my body. My words trigger the release of divine energy that creates an impenetrable force field around me, making me insusceptible to attacks in my spirit, soul, and body. Christ proved His love for me through His vicarious sacrifice on my behalf. He took my place of judgment, condemnation, and sin, and gave me the God-life and nature of righteousness that is not subject to the darkness of sin, sickness, infirmity, or pain. Therefore, I refuse to be sick or broken in life.

I am exalted by the Spirit of God and well-positioned by the Most High. I’ve been raised to a higher realm of prosperity, increase, and success. I am mightily blessed of the Lord. The blessing of the Lord has brought me into a place of excellence, success, victory, and abundance. I am excellent and full of glory; my path is as the shining light that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day! I am glad and I rejoice because the Lord has caused me to inherit the riches of the heathen. Where I did not toil and labour I am harvesting. The Lord Has granted me access to the hidden treasures of this world. My prosperity is noticeable by all men and they glorify my Father who is In Heaven. All the nations call me blessed for I am blessed with great riches and wealth in Jesus’ name. Amen. Speak in tongues.
