Matthew 6.33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Heavenly Father we invite you to help us, teach us, lead us, speak to us, guide us, touch us and transform us by the Power of Your Presence and Glory in Jesus name.
Holy Spirit, have your way, speak expressly and move mightily in this place.

Grant your ministers Utterance.
Open the Eyes of Understanding of all who diligently seek you and those who come to learn of you.

Show Yourself merciful to whom you will be merciful and compassionate to whom you will be compassionate.

Heal us and do the Miraculous according to your Will and Pleasure in this place.
Supply our Needs according to your riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

For this is a Faithful thing, that where two or three are gathered in your name, you are present in our midst.
And if two of us shall agree on a thing it will be done.
Thank you Heavenly Father for I know you have heard our heart cry and you have answered our prayers.
This is for your Glory and Praise. That your testimonies will fill our lips and our lives will be for your glory in the Mighty and Matchless name of Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior.

Amen.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Ps.119.73 - Your hands have made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

It is with a great burden and sense of responsibility and humility and fear of God's manifest presence and glory that I speak on this topic.

This is a topic way beyond my capacity, way above my learning, way above my human and spiritual faculties.
I trust God in His Mercy and for the sake of His glory and his mercy on creation that we have found favor in His sight.

This much I know that when the Holy Spirit grants Utterenace, even the Minister is but a learner and simply a vessel for divine encounter and transmission of Godliness.

What is the Kingdom Of God?
A Kingdom is a domain and realm of reign and Authority of a King.
God is the name ascribed to a divine being.

The Kingdom of God is the domain of reign of The Divine King.

Gen.1.1 - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

He created every thing in it.
Then created Man to have dominion over all that is on the earth.

This man he created to become his Physical expression- in His image and according to His Likeness.
He made Man King over the Earth. Adam named every thing on earth and it was Exactly what was on God's Mind.
Adam was at Oneness with God so much so that His Mind was in Sync with God.

Adam means Man/Humanity. It is also the name of the first man.
Eve means life giver. It is also the name of the first woman.

God gives man the Instructions to govern the earth together- Adam and his Woman.

Gen 1.28 - Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
God did not give Adam dominion over the heavens but the earth.

Ps.115.16 - The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's; But the earth He has given to the children of men.

Satan, also called the Serpent having been banished from heaven, brings a great wrath against Adam (Humanity).

Rev.12.12 - Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

Everything he wanted to become, God had freely given Man simply because God decided and willed it so- He is the King of all kings.

God had also given man a strict instruction not to disobey.

Gen.2.16 -17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."

Satan had been banished to earth for His Selfish Ambition and Rebellion.
He was the Arch Angel Lucifer, he had wanted to be like God and to be King of the heavens outside, God's will.

Isa.14.12-14 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
Isa.14.13 - For you have said in your heart: "I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;
Isa.14.14 - I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.'

He has been reduced from Arch Angel to a mere serpent living on past and lost glory. Hating any one who tries to be like God- who tries to rise where he failed. Fighting against Godliness with every thing he has.

He deceived Adam and Eve whom God already created with Godliness- the Glory of God by causing them to do the one thing God had instructed them not to do.
He knew the tree of knowledge of good and evil would create the virus of evil in man because man and every thing God created was Good.
He deceived Eve that the tree would make her to become like God- when she was already like God.

This is instructive.
Adam and Eve were like God and Knew No Evil.
Evil came into Man through the Serpent. It is The State of Being Self-Centered, Disobedient and Rebellious towards God.

Gen.3.4 - Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.
Gen.3.5 - For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
Gen.3.6 - So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
Gen.3.7 - Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

With this singular act of Disobedience, Mankind died as God warned.
Death here is a state of ungodliness. It is a spiritual death.

.It is disconnection from God. Adam and Eve were also physically banished from the Garden of Eden. Just as Satan was banished from Heaven. It is the pattern.

But God created the Heavens and the Earth for a Purpose. And He created Man for a Purpose.
And that Purpose MUST be fulfilled regardless of how long it takes. His Word is Settled Forever in Heaven only waits to manifest on Earth.

For this Cause even in the midst of Man's disobedience and death God had pronounced His Salvation plan.

Gen.3.15 - And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel."

God had placed the Salvation of Mankind inside the womb of the woman.

It is instructive to note also that Adam originally named his wife Woman before their death.
But renamed her Eve after their death.
Ironically Eve means life or life-giving or mother of life.

Adam had lost his connection from God and now calls things the opposite of what they are.
This is why the confession of our Faith is seeing life through the Word of God and not our Sight.

Romans 10:17
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Adam and Eve desperately longed for the Seed as God promised will be their salvation from their death.

Satan also was fearfully waiting for that seed and immediately murdered any sign of godliness in a seed.
He murdered Abel after his sacrifice made God to respect him. Through Cain his brother, Satan murdered him. Cain therefore inherited the curse of becoming a wanderer across the world.
Then Seth was born. However sin multiplied instead of Godliness.

The Lineage of Seth would eventually lead to Noah.
God destroys the world because evil had continued to multiply beyond control but preserves the family of Noah because of his covenant and Plan.

Noah still carrying the seed of sin inside him also multiplied sin and ungodliness.
However Abraham would find favor before God. God calls him out of his pagan family.

Gen.12.1 - Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you.
Gen.12.2 - I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
Gen.12.3 - I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed."

God makes an everlasting promise with Abraham because He believed Him and did the unthinkable.
He trusted God enough to willingly sacrifice his only beloved son- Isaac and for this God sealed his covenant to make him the Father of Many Nations, that through Him all the nations of the earth will be blessed.

Gen.17.5 - No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
Gen.17.6 - I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.
Gen.17.7 - And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.

Isaac and Rebekah would give birth to twins- Esau and Jacob.
Jacob would inherit the blessing of the covenant God makes with Abraham because he value it more than Esau.
Esau value the physical needs over his spiritual blessing. This is instructive. This is what it means to be carnally-minded.

Through Jacob's encounter with God, His lineage becomes the chosen nation of Israel/Jews.
Hence the saying- salvation belongs to the Jews.

Various seeds would arise from time to time to fulfill the promise of God but the serpent will always prevail over them because he owned them. He was the ruler and king of this domain and realm. They would eventually be sin- disobey God and die.
Prophecies upon prophecies spoken of the Messiah that would eventually save Israel.

Isa.9.6-7 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Ezek.36.25 - Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
Ezek.36.26 - I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Ezek.36.27 - I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

Joel.2.28-30 "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
"And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

Please where in the scriptures did you found the highlighted?

Please where in the scriptures did you found the highlighted?

The Scriptures is below it and more will be shared. Kindly exercise patience.

In the appointed Time. In the fullness of Time, God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die for the sins of Man.
That through His own Complete Obedience, the seed of ungodliness- disobedience, self and death which man inherited from Satan would be taken away. And the Seed of Godliness will once again reign in man.

Rom.5.17 - For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

Jesus Christ is the Seed that was promised to Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Matt.1.21 - And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins."
Matt.1.22 - So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
Matt.1.23 - "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."

Jesus Christ fulfilled all the prophecies concerning the Messiah as required by the Law and Prpphets.
Moses and Elijah confirmed this on the Mount of Transfiguration.

It is instructive that Jesus Christ knew His Mission on Earth as a child and as a man.

Luke.2.48 - So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."
Luke.2.49 - And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?"

John.4.34 - Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

After he was baptised by John the baptist as required and He received the Holy Spirit, He was driven to the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
And when he passed the tests and temptations Satan, he rebuked him and began His ministry- His Father's work/business.

Matt.4.1 - Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Matt.4.17 - From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Jesus Christ describes the Kingdom of God in various parables.

Parables are the representation of spiritual realities with physical illustrations.
Matthew 13 gives various parables where Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ gives us indepth representations and explanations of the Kingdom of God.
I pray God in His Everlasting Mercy grants understanding to our simple and willing minds in Jesus name.
For it is the entrance of His Words that gives Light/Understanding.

Luke.17.20-21 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, "The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, "See here!' or "See there!' For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you."

Rom.14.17 - for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

The Kingdom of heaven is not for casual people to find. It demands/requires desperation.
You have to be tired of the way things are.
You have to be frustrated to desire to find a solution.
You have to desperately need God.
Because like Esau, man did not value Godliness and lost it to the Satan simply for lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and pride of life.

Now until we know the value of what we lost and the foolishness of what we traded it for, we cannot find it.

Matt.11.11 - "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Matt.11.12 - And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

The kingdom of God is here now.
John.4.23 - But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
John.4.24 - God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

After Jesus Christ fulfilled his Mission/Purpose/Calling and was crucified, died and buried. He rose on the third day and Restored the Glory of God to Man and gave man both the Authority to reign both on Earth and in Heaven through Him- to as many as believe in His name.

Matt.28.18 - And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

Are you sincerely tired and frustrated of the way life as you know it is?
Are you fed up?
Have you exhausted your options?
Are you ready to sincerely and diligently seek God and to Know Him?
Are you ready to be faithful?
What did you travel your godliness for?
What have you gotten in exchange for your soul?
Was it worth it?

Do you now want your soul to be made alive again?
Do you want to have a relationship with your Creator and Heavenly Father?
Do you want to receive and be filled with the Holy Spirit?
Are you ready to accept Jesus Christ ad your LORD and Saviour?
Are you ready to repent of your sins and walk in God's righteousness?

Here is what you MUST do.

John.3.1 - There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
John.3.2 - This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

John.3.3 - Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

John.3.4 - Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?"

John.3.5 - Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
John.3.6 - That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John.3.7 - Do not marvel that I said to you, "You must be born again.'
John.3.8 - The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

John.3.9 - Nicodemus answered and said to Him, "How can these things be?"

John.3.10 - Jesus answered and said to him, "Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?

John.3.11 - Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness.
John.3.12 - If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?
John.3.13 - No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.
John.3.14 - And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, -
John.3.15 - that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.

John.3.16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. -- null
John.3.17 - For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Romans 10:9-10
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth;

Jesus Christ, I believe in you.
I believe you are the Son of God, and you came to earth and you lived with men doing wonders.
I believe that you were tortured, crucified and died for my sins and on the third day you rose from death and you were seen by your disciples.
I believe you are alive and you now live inside me through the Holy Spirit.
Thank you Jesus for saving me.
I confess you and I submit to you as my LORD and Savior.
Amen.

Hallelujah!
There is so much rejoicing in heaven right now because you have been saved from darkness and into the everlasting Light of Christ.
You are now a child of God.

He will begin to lead you.
He will lead you through His Holy Spirit and His Word.

Pray and you will be led to a church He has prepared for you. Don't waste time at all, there's so much Our heavenly Father wants to show you.
There's so much He want to reveal to you
I am super excited for you. You are saved in the best time to be saved.

2Cor.5.16 - Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

2Cor.5.17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Please share your comments and testimonies in the comment.

2Cor.5.18-21 - Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
