Often, sons of the Kingdom defy the normal religious mould and so people, even their fathers, do not really understand God\u2019s purposes with them till later -Mal. 4:6; Matt. 1:20; Lk. 1:17;
\nGen. 37:10-11; Gen. 48:8.<\/p>\n
What creation is waiting for is the manifestation of these Kingdom sons, not even for God. This is because God has given the authority of the earth to mankind \u2013 Rom. 8:19; Jn. 5:27.<\/p>\n
The Church should integrate and reconcile them to the regular Church just as the Patriarch Jacob integrated the two Kingdom sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh. These were born outside the regular \u2018Church\u2019 system, into the Church family.<\/p>\n
Our father Jacob adopted them, put his divinely-given Kingdom-name of Israel on them and prophesied that, the whole earth will be blessed through Kingdom sons \u2013 Gen. 48:5, 16, 20.<\/p>\n
Beloved, Kingdom sons will \u2018repair\u2019 the damage to creation as a result of the fall of man in Eden and its subsequent demonic and religious activities \u2013 Is. 61:1-4.<\/p>\n
They will do this by overcoming religion and causing the earth to be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord Jesus in an overwhelming way, i.e. as the waters cover the sea \u2013 Hab. 2:13-14; Gen. 1:28; Obad. 21.<\/p>\n
Their \u2018repair\u2019 work is partly going to bring about the \u201cpeace\u201d that is needed for the second coming of Jesus \u2013 1 Thess. 5:3; Acts 3:21ff; Rev. 19:7. You know, our Jesus will come at a time His enemies are under Him, not before.<\/p>\n
Kingdom-sons will thus, set up the atmosphere of restoration for Jesus\u2019 coming as the King of kings \u2013 Ps. 110:1-3.<\/p>\n
Beloved, our Jesus prophesied that many would come from outside the mainstream religious church order. They would have different understandings and will enjoy Kingdom life with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; men noted for extra-ordinary faith.<\/p>\n
The original Kingdom sons i.e. the religious Jews would be locked out of Kingdom life, because of their lack of this Kingdom-faith. This faithless condition is created by religion or their adherence to their own tried-and -tested spiritual inclinations and understandings – Matt. 8:11-12.<\/p>\n
Unlike Kingdom sons, many people do not have the mental and physical capacity and openness to contain Heaven on earth. These are easily impressed with successes and blessings.<\/p>\n
And so like Job, they lack the attitudinal capacity or real willpower that is needed to receive more of Heaven \u2013 Job. 1:1-5, 42:12-17; Ps. 4:1; Is. 61:1-7.<\/p>\n
Their initial \u2018rejection\u2019 by people-of-the-spiritual-status quo, due to their outside-the religious understanding, drives them to link up extra-ordinarily with God.<\/p>\n
You know, there are two branches in our Lord Jesus \u2013 the religious and the Kingdom ones. The hallmark of the Kingdom-ones is continual linkage or fellowship with the Vine Tree, which is Jesus.<\/p>\n
The religious-ones are \u2018cut off \u2019 from personal linkage with the Vine Tree, although they seem to be attached to it \u2013 Jn. 15:2, 5-6.<\/p>\n
A typical Kingdom-person\u2019s blessing, just as Josephs, is fruitfulness \u2013 Gen. 49:22. You know, it was at harvest or fruit exhibiting time that the Wheat i.e. Kingdom-sons were clearly
\nseen, and thus separated from the Tares, who are the religious \u2013 Matt. 13:30, 38.<\/p>\n
Beloved, in order to bear fruit, you need to fellowship with God in prayer and Bible study to get the inspired or spoken Words of God. The Greek word translated \u2018words\u2019 in \u201c…My words abide in you\u201d – Jn. 15:7, is the \u2018rhema\u2019 or inspired\/spoken Word.<\/p>\n
In other words, it is the \u2018rhema\u2019 that brings fruitfulness or Kingdom-results. On the other hand, religious-people are led by the \u2018logos\u2019 or written Word\/Bible; but Kingdom-sons are led by the \u2018rhema\u2019 and guarded by the \u2018logos\u2019; so they get fruitful.<\/p>\n
Similarly, my friend, you should be led by the \u2018rhema\u2019 and guarded by the \u2018logos\u2019 to be fruitful in your ways. And \u2018rhema\u2019 comes to you through fellowship with God.<\/p>\n
Yes, it takes a \u2018Joshua\u2019, from the fruitful tribe of Ephraim, to lead the Church to her Promised Land. This Joshua, even when he was \u2018young and foot-loose\u2019, just loved fellowshipping with God \u2013 Ex. 33:11.<\/p>\n
Dear child of God, check out the humility of Joseph the son of Israel and the Centurion of Matt. 8:11-12. Humility is the unavoidable sign of anyone who has been rejected before, and as
\nsuch has been in fellowship with God.<\/p>\n
Yes, anyone who has been isolated by men and been touched with God\u2019s Presence will be humble. Also, note that, during the maturity or fruit-bearing time of a wheat plant, they bend under the weight or glory of their fruits. Such is the humble inner disposition of God\u2019s wheat or Kingdom-sons. They \u2018bend\u2019 in humility.<\/p>\n
These seven features of Kingdom sons also go for the Kingdom church that our dearest Jesus builds, for He builds it after Himself \u2013 Matt. 16:16-18. We should, therefore, seek and promote these qualities to birth the Kingdom practically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
