Today’s Topic: Kingdoms and Concepts of Rulership Part 2
Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28; Galatians 4:4,5
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Authority and power (grace) in the Kingdom of God is given to sons of God, not for their own personal benefit and gain. Grace is given to accomplish the Will of the one who gives it. Grace in the Kingdom of God is given to the sons of God to bring the rulership and Will of God to the Earth. In addition, grace is given to advance the culture of the Kingdom in Heaven in Earth so one sees the culture in the sons of God. So what they see on Earth is a mirror image of Heaven itself.
God put His sons in the Earth to carry out the family business. God told him to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the Earth (Genesis 1:28). God knew the earth would need managing so He tells His children to replenish to earth to build a population to manage the Earth. Now when man fell in Genesis 3 it did not terminate the intention of God for man. Now since the fall we see a decline in man. But God had a plan to redeem man and Galatians 4:4,5 states:
"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons."
Jesus came to redeem and reconcile us back to the Father and be sons. In addition to bring back the original government and culture of the Earth. Now we can serve as viceroys to the King in Heaven and bring His rulership and culture to the Earth. Do we see how important understanding rulership is.
Jesus lived, died and was resurrected to give us the dominion back in the Earth so that we can serve as viceroys or vice kings to the King of Kings. This is why the Gospel of the Kingdom os so important to understand. In addition we need to understand kingdom concepts and principals to understand the relationship and power structure we live under as Kingdom citizens. Living in a democracy makes understanding monarchies a little difficult but if you take the time to study and seek God’s wisdom, knowledge and understanding then you will come into the understanding of how the Kingdom of God and it’s concepts function in the Earth considering it is an invisible eternal kingdom.
At the Father’s Service,
