We’ve Received The Kingdom – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional May 23rd

(Live In The Reality Of The Kingdom Now)

TO THE BIBLE: Luke 12:32
“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

LET’S TALK
“Young people, hear me. There’s a life in the kingdom that you ought to live now. Refuse to accept anything else,” read Josh from his notepad as he meditated on what his Pastor shared in service on “Life In The Kingdom.”

Meditating on these words moved Josh to win souls and work miracles like he had never done before; he shared the Gospel with his whole class boldly, and those who had illnesses suddenly recovered as he laid his hands on them. His consciousness of the kingdom life caused a total 180-degree change in his Christian ministry.

Hebrews 12:28 in the Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) translation tells us something similar to what we just read in our opening verse.

It says, “Therefore, since we have received an unshakeable kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may offer service that will please God, with reverence and fear.” We’ve received the kingdom, and we should live in it and express the life of the kingdom.

How can we know the true Christian life that God expects us to live today? The first thing to do is to study the Book of Acts.

The epistles also give us a lot of insight. Finally, the prophetic Word of blessings to the Jews about the millennial reign of Christ shows us an amazing picture of what the life of the Kingdom is.

That’s what He’s already given to us to live in and experience NOW! Anything less than these isn’t full Christianity or the life of the Kingdom.

This is the reason we’re raising and educating God’s people on the Kingdom-life and the Kingdom-way of doing things.

There’s a Kingdom way to think. Now that you’re in the kingdom, you must learn to live by the principles of God’s Word.

His Word is our blueprint and roadmap on how to live the ever-glorious, joyous, and transcendent life of the Kingdom.

Pray:
Righteous Father, I thank you for not only bringing me into the Kingdom, but for also giving me the Kingdom. Thank you for your Word, which educates and enlightens me on the Kingdom-life and the Kingdom-way of doing things; I live the ever-glorious, joyous and transcendent life of the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
