You Belong to a Spiritual Kingdom in the New Life

 

   If you’re born again you belong in a spiritual Kingdom; the Kingdom of God’s dear Son: “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” Colossians1:13.  You became a part of this spiritual kingdom the moment you gave your heart to Christ. “And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever: Amen 2 timothy 4:18.

    The spiritual controls the physical. So as a Christian you can’t afford to live by the principles of this physical world. You can’t achieve meaningful success with the principles of this world, for success is spiritual. True success has nothing to do with your education, family name, or what nation you hail from. True and lasting success is spiritual and it’s based on spiritual principles. This is the reason it’s important for you to be trained in the life of the spirit so you live and control things from that realm. When you learn to function from the realm of the spirit, nothing in this physical world will be able to stop you because the Kingdom to which you belong is greater than this world.

   Some people go through unnecessary troubles in their lives because they’re ignorant of this important principle. If you need a job for example, the first thing to do isn’t to distribute your resume around, in the hope that you’ll be called for a job interview. You have to ensure you receive that job first in the realm of the spirit. That way, nothing in this physical world will be able to stop it.

 In our spiritual Kingdom, we see the unseen. We see the blessings on the inside first, and then take a hold of them with our spirits. We take our eyes away from all the limitations of this physical realm and focus only on the infallible Word of God. Hebrew 11:3 says “ it is by faith that we understand that the universe was created by God’s word, so that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen” (Good News Bible)

  If you’re born again, it means you’re born from the realm of the spirit; you are born of God’s spiritual Kingdom, so learn to function by the principles of the kingdom to which you belong.

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
