The Kingdom of God is Not Meat and Drink
By: Dr. Mike Jones
When I chat with members of the Body of Christ, I usually come away with the notion that some of us believe that God is a respecter of persons, because some of us believe that God has favorites. But what does the Word of God say about that?
1. Everyone in the Kingdom is equally adored/accepted by God
John 1:12 “All He received, gave rights to be called Sons/Daughter
2. Everyone’s talent/gifts are needed in the Kingdom.
1 Corinthians 12&14 all gifts are important … best is LOVE
3. Wisdom is available to everyone in the Kingdom.
James 1:5 Ask God … Eph 1:17 God gives spirit of wisd/revelation
4. FAITH in the spoken word is the LIFE of the Kingdom.
Luke 4 “For it is written” … Isaiah 55:11 Word will accomplish
5. Nothing just happens in the Kingdom.
Romans 8:28 All things work together for His good
6. Mercy is new every morning in the Kingdom.
Psalm 5916 I will sing aloud of your mercies in the morning
7. There are chains of authority in the Kingdom.
1 Cor 11:1 God/Christ/Man/Woman/child; then we to one another
8. You will reap what you sow in the Kingdom.
Galatians 6:7 God is not marked – You reap what you sow
9. We get what is promised to us as believers in the Kingdom.
2 Corinthians 1:20 All the Promises of God are yea and Amen!
10. The prayer of faith always gets results in the Kingdom.
In the series, I list numerous facts about the Kingdom that is sure to debunk some of the myths about a loving God and His Kingdom.
