Gospel of The Kingdom
Part 1
God’s original plan in creation was to extend His heavenly Kingdom on earth. His purpose was to establish a family of sons, not servants. God’s purpose was to establish a Kingdom of sons, not subjects, establish a commonwealth of citizens, not Christians. His main purpose was to establish relationships, not religion.
​
From the begging of time God’s original purpose and intent was to rule the seen from the unseen through the unseen living in the seen on the scene. Human beings were created to exercise dominion over the earth and all its creatures. God gave us ruler-ship of the earth, not ownership, and He will not do anything on earth without permission or access from those on earth to whom He gave dominion. God can do anything, but because He has given us the license, He can release on the earth only what we allow.
The Gospel of the Kingdom is good news: a message sent from Daddy to all His children telling them that they can return home to the Kingdom and once again be sons and daughters in their full right.
DISCOVERING THE ORIGIN AND
PURPOSE OF MAN
THEN THE KING WILL SAY TO THOSE ON HIS RIGHT,
“COME, YOU WHO ARE BLESSED BY MY FATHER; TAKE YOUR INHERITANCE, THE KINGDOM PREPARED FOR YOU SINCE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD.” (MATTHEW 25:34)
It is not unreasonable to ask why God, the King of heaven, would want to create sons in His image and a visible universe. Was He not satisfied and pleased with an invisible realm of angels and powers to rule?
The answer to these questions lies in understanding the very nature of God Himself.
There is much about this great awesome, self-sustaining One that we do not, cannot, and may never know, but He has revealed enough of Himself to mankind to allow us to glimpse some of the magnificence of His nature and character.
​
One such characteristic is that “God is love” (see 1 John 4:8,16).…It is this inherent nature of love that motivated the King of heaven to create spirit children (called mankind) to share His Kingdom ruler ship. In other words, man was created for the purpose of ruler ship and leadership. This is why in the
message of Jesus, when He described the age of the Kingdom of God and its provision for man, His indication was that this Kingdom belonged to man before earth was created.…
It was God’s idea to share His invisible Kingdom with His offspring,which He called mankind, and give to them His nature and characteristics.
​
“Man is the crowning act of an intentional Creator.
He exists as God’s co-regent in a world created for him”
This quote is packed with meaning. Meditate on each phrase as you discern its meaning for mankind and their impact on your life.
• Crowning act
• Intentional Creator
• God’s co-regent
• World created for him

The Keys to Life
THEREFORE I TELL YOU, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE,WHAT YOU WILL EAT OR DRINK; OR ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL WEAR.IS NOT LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD, AND THE BODY MORE IMPORTANT THAN CLOTHES? (MATTHEW 6:25).
​
Every human is searching for the simple formula to a successful, fulfilled life. He or she wants to find the one key that unlocks the door to the good life and answers the questions of their heart.
So what is the key to life? Finding your true purpose and living it. Let me sum this up in four statements that all relate to purpose— four “keys”to understanding the difference between a purpose-filled life and a life with no meaning.
​
One: The greatest tragedy in life is not death, but life without a purpose. Finding our purpose in life is critically important.
​
Two: The greatest challenge in life is knowing what to do. We go about our daily activities, but are we doing what we are supposed to be doing?
Three: The greatest mistake in life is being busy, but not effective. Being busy is a common human pastime, but that doesn’t mean that what you’re doing is worth doing. We must learn how to live effectively without being busy.
Four: The greatest failure in life is being successful in the wrong assignment. Success alone is not enough. You must succeed in the right thing.Succeeding in the wrong assignment is failure.
