THE NATURE OF
KINGDOM WE BELONGS TO!
MATTHEW 4:17
There
are two main kingdom reigning in the universe; the kingdom of darkness (Satan’s’
kingdom Matthew 12:26 and the kingdom of God (Col. 1:13). A person can either
belongs to God’s kingdom or the devil’s kingdom. There is no neutral ground!
Sometimes
it is very important to know where you belong to, because it is only when you
know where you belongs that you can confess to possess.
Kingdom
is a king and his domain, without a domain there can be no domain, and the
glory of every king is his domain.
It
is highly time for the Christian kingdom to arise and take their position as
members.
Knowing
the nature of the kingdom will help you live for the kingdom.

Eternal kingdom – Daniel 2:44, Luke 1:33
The word “eternal”
means existing through all time, lasting for all time, without beginning or
end. There is no kingdom on earth that
can claim eternity because they all started from somewhere and it will end
eventually. But our kingdom is “I AM THAT I AM” kingdom, and the “Ancients of
Days” kingdom.
Many kingdoms
have changed in the process of time, in orders words time has affected most
kingdom on earth.
We have the
Babylonian Kingdom which gave way to Medo-Persia, it also gave way to Greece –
Roman empire - Soviet Union – Germany – Brittan – U. S. A. they were all
affected by the passage of time but the kingdom of God has still not change.
Some of the
world most famous leaders never thought that their kingdom will never come to
an end.
Lets
consider the testimony of one of the most powerful king ever lived on earth,
his statement he made at God’s kingdom in Daniel 4:2,3,34, 6:26 by Darius

UNSHAKABLE KINGDOM – Hebrews 12:28
When we talk
about shakable, I mean something that is not firm and certain, but our kingdom
is firm and forever established because we are serving a God who liveth
forever. One reason why every kingdom apart from the kingdom of God is shakable
is because they are limited in every aspect. But there is no power that can shake
the kingdom of God, sickness, and diseases cannot shake.
3.
EXPANSIVE KINGDOM – MATTHEW 13:31
Expansive
means extensive, covering a wide area or broad in scope, with outstretched
arms. Let’s look at how even the branch of God’s kingdom (the Church) was
started on earth. It started as insignificant to the world, about 120 people.
But eventually spread throughout the world and has now become the most
powerful, populated kingdom on earth, no matter what Islamic terrorist and
Bokom Haram will do the Church will still expand it boarders and territory. In
fact the more they persecute the church the more it expands.

POWERFUL KINGDOM – MARK 9:1, 2
CORITH. 10:3-6
Every
kingdom is established and expanded by power, the more the domain the powerful the
kingdom becomes. Power means capacity to do something, strength, control and
influence. There is power in the kingdom of God, Alexander the great was
described as a leopard with wings of an eagle which is a symbol of strength and
swiftness, he used four years to conquer the whole world but where is Greek
kingdom today.
5.
NOT OF THIS WORLD – JOHN 18:36
Jesus agrees
that He has a kingdom but asserts that it is not the kind of kingdom that has
soldiers to fight for it, it was not built nor is it maintain by military might.
Most kingdoms in the world are maintained by military power. Jesus said His
kingdom does not follow that pattern, it is heavenly ordained kingdom, He
doesn’t need 50 plus 1 to bring him into power.
