The Good-news of the Kingdom is the Word of God\u2019s grace \u2013 Acts. 20:32, Heb. 12:28.<\/p>\n
And it will be presented on both individual and group basis, as our dearest Jesus did mainly to the Jews in His \u2018three and half year\u2019 ministry.<\/p>\n
But, this time around, because of the all-embracing reach of the Spirit of grace, whom the Lord Jesus sent to us for His \u2018kingdomization\u2019 agenda, the Kingdom would be directed to \u201call nations\u201d as well.<\/p>\n
It is for them all to witness or taste the great powers of the Kingdom-age to come \u2013 Heb. 6:5. You need to understand that, nations are not just geographical land territories, but people-groups \u2013 1 Pet. 2:9; Gen. 25:23-24.<\/p>\n
The Greek word translated \u201cnations\u201d in Matt. 24:14, is the word \u2018ethnos\u2019, out of which the English word \u2018ethnic\u2019 is derived. This Greek word refers to a group of people, irrespective of geo-political boundaries, who have similar lifestyles, habits and therefore circumstances.<\/p>\n
The Gospel of the Kingdom is, therefore, to be presented on group basis also, just as our dearest Jesus did to the Jews of His time \u2013 Lk. 4:43. It is so that, it addresses the specific needs of people-groups, who have similar outlook on life, ways of doing things, or habits.<\/p>\n
This is aimed at enabling all people-groups to experience practically the rule of God or what God has ordained for them. This will be a prelude to Jesus\u2019 second coming where He comes as a Lion or a clearly manifest physical King.<\/p>\n
The treasure of every king is his kingdom. It is his glory. If you take that away from him, he has<\/p>\n
no glory. Jesus taught that the Kingdom of God was like a Treasure which a person found and hid it in a field. For the joy of the discovery, he went and sold all he had and bought the field that contained the Treasure \u2013 Matt. 13:44.<\/p>\n
He sold all he had, wow! Beloved, if you have challenges with commitment to God, then the real challenge is not seeing the Lord\u2019s Treasure. Because when you do, you will sell all you have for it.<\/p>\n
Such is how our dearest Jesus treated the Kingdom of God. He committed with His life to it. Yes, He died to buy the whole field or world which is to contain His Kingdom or the Divine Operating System of God.<\/p>\n
So, such is how to relate to the Kingdom-ways of God. When you seek it, you will find it \u2013 Lk. 12:32. And, when you find it, it is like a fish finding the original water in which it should be.<\/p>\n
You will have no problems releasing your all to it; to make it operational in you, in others and in society as a whole \u2013 Lk. 16:16.<\/p>\n
We will end this chapter with a look at how the Kingdom of God comes in a person or place. Our Lord Jesus taught that the System of God comes in many ways including these seven. The Kingdom of God comes with:<\/p>\n
