Title: Ruling on a Foreign Land

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

 (Rom 8:19 KJV)

The plan of God is to fill the whole earth with His Glory, His Will, His Purpose and His Intent. He wants to achieve this through His sons (Born Again Believers who are led by the Spirit of God). The main purpose of Salvation is not just for us to die and make Heaven. However, there is a work that the Lord expects us to accomplish on this earth, and that’s why the Lord didn’t call us to Heaven the moment we gave our lives to Christ (Eph 2:10).

In order to clearly understand this, it is very important for us to see God as a King and Christianity as a Kingdom and not a Religion, a Republic or a Democracy. The Word “Kingdom” is made up of two words: “King” and “Domain”. The Domain refers to the territory where the King exerts His influence and Authority.

God is the first and the oldest King who had His Kingdom in Heaven and that’s why He is called the ancient King and the King of Glory (Psalm 24). Because every Kingdom wants to expand, the Lord also wanted to extend His Domain and that’s why He created the Earth. The Plan of God is to make His Children Kings on this earth so He can rule the earth through us, and that’s why He is the King of Kings (Rev 1:6, 1 Tim 6:15, Rev 17:14).

“A kingdom is not a Religion, a Republic or a Democracy. A Kingdom is a governing influence of a King over His territory, impacting it with His Will, His Purpose and His Intent, producing a citizenry of people who expressed His culture and reflects His nature.”- Dr. Myles Munroe

In a Kingdom, everything belongs to the King: Government of the King, by the King and for the King. I have realized that, studying the Bible with Kingdom-consciousness brings more clarity and helps one to better understand his/her purpose. We call things exactly as the King calls them and not whatever we like. Therefore, if the King says racism, jealousy, adultery, fornication, homosexuality etc. are bad and sinful, we cannot say otherwise. The problem is that most people see Christianity as a Democracy, and they start to question the Lord and His Word. This results in disobedience and rebellion, and that’s the current situation of the world.

Beloved in the Lord, God plans to put many Christians at higher places of influence so we can easily impact His Will, Purpose and Intent on this earth. However, we are living in a world whose Systems are very hostile to Christians. Therefore, this seems not to be possible in the sight of man, but we know that with God all things are possible (Matt 19:26). He has done it before in ancient past and He will surely do it again!

Prayer Point:

Let’s thank God for His Word today. Let’s ask God to fill the minds of all Believers in this world with the consciousness of His Kingdom. Let’s also ask Him to put Christians at higher places of influence.
