\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n In the New Testament, we see the kingdom of God as a position<\/em>, a lifestyle,<\/em> and an arrangement <\/em>that ensures the rule of God in a person or place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n As an \u2018arrangement\u2019,<\/em> the kingdom of God is not just for the future, but is the realm or nation of God<\/em> into which believers are spiritually translated \u2013 Col. 1:13.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In other words, like eternal life, which is not just for the future, but a present reality, so is the kingdom of God. So, you can be in God\u2019s realm now, although it is yet to be fully <\/u>expressed<\/em> on earth in future, starting from when Jesus Christ comes again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So my friend, you can be translated into this country or realm of God<\/em> at the new birth, when you receive Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Yes, you become \u2018born again\u2019 into the realm or arrangement of God \u2013 Jn. 3:3, 5. Hallelujah!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You also become a part of the universal church, which is a spiritual assembly of kingdom-citizens with a kingdom-mandate to \u2018kingdomize or Heavenize\u2019 the earth \u2013 Matt. 16:16-19; 18:18-19; Col. 3:1-4.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The kingdom<\/em> as a \u2018position\u2019<\/em> or status is placed within <\/em>you at the new birth – Lk. 17:21. So, a believer is not just in <\/em>the arrangement or realm called the kingdom of God, but the kingdom is in<\/em> him as well. All this takes place at the new birth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This positioning-within<\/em> potentially makes you an ambassador or a representative of God\u2019s nation or realm on this earth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, the kingdom is not just a status or position<\/em> you receive, but a way of life <\/em>also. It is just like the status <\/u><\/em>of righteousness<\/u> that you obtain at the new birth \u2013 Rom. 5:17, 19. As you know, this must translate into a lifestyle of righteousness<\/u><\/em> \u2013 1 Jn. 3:7.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The kingdom as a \u2018lifestyle\u2019<\/em> therefore, enjoins that, mankind experience what God has ordained on daily basis in all three main aspects of life<\/u> i.e. in ones spirit, soul and body \u2013 Matt. 13:33.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This means that, God wants mankind to experience on daily basis, His system of peace, prosperity, power, purity, preservations, possibilities, Presence of God, purpose of God, people, praises, pleasures, persecutions etc, in all three main aspects of his life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n You can be a citizen of a country and not live by your country\u2019s system, but by another country\u2019s one. So you can be a citizen of Heaven<\/em> and not have Heaven\u2019s rule<\/em> over you. But, God\u2019s royalty, rule and realm should be what every citizen of Heaven must live in and reflect everywhere.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n From today, you have mastery or power over your flesh or base desires<\/em> and the world\u2019s religious system. You will promote Heaven\u2019s products. You will seek to have on earth Heaven\u2019s brand of love, righteousness, peace, joy, worship, attitude etc. You will exalt the Person, Principles and Performance of our Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yes, you will have the practical rule or influence of Heaven <\/em>in your spiritual, intellectual, emotional, financial, mental, physical and social etc lives on earth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n by: \u00a0Rev.
