WE DEAL IN KINGDOM WORDS
“Therefore when anyone hears the Word of the kingdom, and does not understand it ….” – Matt. 13:19a.
It is our Lord Jesus Christ who sows the ‘Word of the Kingdom’. These are the Word of God that is viewed in the light of the results of Jesus’ kingdom assignment, death, resurrection, ascension, sitting at the right hand side of the Father, and the future rule of God on earth.
In other words, Kingdom-words are truths from the Bible that fully exalts and glorifies Jesus’ Person, Principles and Performance (past and present continuous) for mankind.
Thus, any truth from the Bible that eclipses the Person, Principles and Performance of Jesus Christ fall short of God’s full Counsel for humanity, who is Jesus Himself, the perfect Word of God.
RECEIVE RULER_SHIP GRACE BY SEEING LIKE GOD
Since Jesus is man’s replacement, God views all things on earth through the lens of Jesus and His performance for mankind on the Cross and in Heaven now – 1 Jn. 4:17; 2 Cor. 5:21. This is God’s loving arrangement which now makes Him tolerate and bless humans.
So, when mankind recognizes Jesus in the way God does, this loving stance of God is reinforced to you. This is why you must see and understand all things, including every part of God’s Word, in the light of our Lord Jesus’ Person, Principles or teachings and Performance.
You know, there are various understandings and revelations that people get from the Bible, which does not exalt the Person, Principles and Performance of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. These words are religious in nature since they are derived from the Bible, but are not the words of the kingdom – Matt. 5:21, 27, 31, 33, 38, 43; 19:7-8.
RULE YOUR WORLD THROUGH KINGDOM WORDS
Beloved, wherever God wants to rule, He releases His kingdom word into it. There is no situation in your life or on earth in which God can rule if you do not receive His Word for it. Whenever God wants to change the face of something, He speaks into it. When He wants to change a life or person, He first speaks to the one.
This is what happened in the beginning. God said “Light be” in Genesis 1:3, because He wanted to rule the chaos on earth. God sent His Word Jesus Christ to the earth because He wants to practically reclaim His dominion or rule here. And this is ultimately why you are around as a believer in Jesus Christ.
