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.

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to pray… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
