There's nothing more powerful on earth than an IDEA (Thought).
Ideas are the raw materials for creation of CONCEPTS .
Concepts are the foundation for communication and determine the success of the process .
If your concepts are wrong then your conclusions will be wrong as well. thus a MISCONCEPTION takes place.
The original concept is always in the mind of the SOURCE (GOD)
The original concept of God's plan for man was a KINGDOM inheritance.
Concept is a crystallized picture in the mind of the source, that is converted into WORDS in order for it to be meaningful.
That's why in communication, concept is the basic premise for understanding.
The Original concept in the Mind of God right from the beginning was for MANKIND to have Dominion (KINGDOM) on earth, through which He would influence Earth with Heavens Culture, Nature, Practices, Principles, Precepts, and Lifestyle.
In order words God wanted to represent Heaven on Earth and place mankind in-charge to Work it , Cultivate it and Manage it.
Everything that Man(Adam) needed to fulfill this mandate was given to him at Eden.
Adam had a CLEAR PERSPECTIVE of what to do.
Adam had FELLOWSHIP AND WAS ABLE TO COMMUNE WITH GOD at the cool of the day always.
Details of this are documented in the first two chapters of Genesis.
But this he(Adam) lost in the third chapter of Genesis.
And Adam the progenitor of all mankind fell out of God's concept and plan but thank God for His redemption plan through Our Savior and King Jesus Christ that brought everything we had lost.
That's why throughout the time Jesus was on earth, His focus was about what we lost from the beginning... That's THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
Think about this for a moment, Can you recover what you didn't loose? The answer is NO.
SO ITS VIVID THAT MANKIND LOST SOMETHING WHEN HE FELL OUT OF GOD'S PLAN IN THE GARDEN.
AND THAT IS WHAT JESUS THE MESSIAH BROUGHT TO US.
THAT'S WHAT HE ANNOUNCED IN HIS FIRST PUBLIC STATEMENT in Matthew four verses seventeen... "The arrival of THE KINGDOM OF GOD " before starting His Ministry.
HE PREACHED ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD FOR THREE AND A HALF YEARS WHEN HE WAS THIRTY.
EVEN WHEN HE RESURRECTED, HE WAS STILL PREACHING ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO HIS DISCIPLES THROUGH A PERIOD OF FORTY DAYS BEFORE RETURNING TO THE FATHER.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY HE WAS SENT TO EARTH BY THE FATHER... Luke chapter four verses forty-three.
The Gospel of THE KINGDOM OF GOD was the ONLY MESSAGE JESUS PREACHED followed by healing the sick, raising the death ,restoration of sight to the blind and many more evidence of the kingdom.
That's the same MESSAGE HE COMMENDED US TO PREACH... "THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD "
He never preached about Himself, neither the cross which was the means to which the Kingdom would be restored back to mankind.
Here's an interesting thing, Jesus Christ brought us :
*The KINGDOM OF GOD that was lost.
*The Holy Spirit, the legal adviser of the kingdom.
So that we may regain back our position in God as it were from the beginning.
In order to Understanding the concept of The Kingdom of God,lets understand what KINGDOM really means and it influence in real sense.
In Hebrew, Kingdom means BASILEIA in the Old Testament and stands for the following :
*ROYAL POWER .
*SOVEREIGNTY.
*DOMINION.
Kingdom means MALKUT in the New Testament and connotes the following :
*Kingdom .
*Reign .
*Rule: Denoting a king and his territory .
WHAT'S A KINGDOM
A kingdom is a governing influence of a KING over a territory or a domain, impacting it with his PURPOSE and his INTENT, producing a citizenry or people who reflect the King's CULTURE and manifest the King's NATURE.
The Kingdom of God is about RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT...Romance chapter fourteen verses seventeen.
Here's the explanation for that verse... RIGHTEOUSNESS means being in RIGHT STAND WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF HEAVEN in order to enjoy the benefit that comes with the citizenship and more so to EXPERIENCE PEACE AND JOY which can be fulfilled not by our own accord but BY ACCEPTING THE LEADERSHIP OF THE KINGDOMS LEGAL ADVISER WHICH IS THE HOLY SPIRIT .
Kingdom means Sovereign Royal Power on earth... As Jesus conferred on us in Luke twenty-two verses twenty-nine.
A Kingdom is a sovereign impart , influence and rulership of a king over a territory.
A Kingdom is the governing impact of a King's will, intent and purpose over his domain.
A Kingdom is a King's influence over a people and their domain.
A Kingdom is a territory over which a King and government has a structure over it.
A Kingdom is a government led by a King impacting a territory with his will.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING THAT BROUGHT THE LOST KINGDOM.
The Kingdom of God is about the Government of Heaven invading earth with the intention of colonizing earth to become just like our home country (Heaven).
The Garden of Eden was a clear demonstration of this concept before the fall of mankind.
God use Prophet Isaiah to declare the return of the Government of Heaven to Earth through a Child(JESUS) being born of a Virgin and a SON(CHRIST) was given carring upon His shoulders a GOVERNMENT.
It was always about the KINGDOM OF GOD right from the beginning and not about RELIGION with it members ,CHRISTIANS.
Religion and the kingdom are not synonymous .
The kingdom existed before the church as we know according to Mathew twenty-five verses thirty-four.
The key to the Kingdom was given to us according to Mathew sixteen verses nineteen.
The CHURCH is supposed to be heaven's diplomatic agency on earth to fulfill Kingdom assignment.
The original CHURCH is not a religious organization ,and it was mentioned only once by Jesus in a closed door meeting with His disciples during which He asked them who people perceived him to be ,and the conversation was about influence. (According to Mathew sixteen verses eighteen)
The church here was meant to be an ORGANISM through which the government of Heaven could gain influence on earth through man.
The concept and goal of all RELIGIONS including Christianity is to go to Heaven but on the contrary the KINGDOM OF GOD given to us by God is to IVADE THE EARTH WITH HEAVENS CULTURE AND NATURE.
THE KINGDOM IS ABOUT IMPACTING EARTH WITH THE PRINCIPLES,PRECEPTS ,PRACTICE, LIFESTYLE AND THE LEADERSHIP OF HEAVEN.
A typical example is in one of Jesus teachings about the Kingdom when His disciples ask him to teach them how to pray in Mathew six verses nine through thirteen.
Heaven is our Home Country not out Destination, we were sent from Heaven to accomplish an assignment on earth so let's focus on fulfilling our Kingdom assignment on earth .
IT WAS ABOUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND IT'S CITIZENS WHICH ARE HEIRS OF SALVATION THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Dare to embrace the Kingdom and gain citizenship today by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and King so that the Holy Spirit can manifest the Kingdom life in you.
I tell you, it's fun being a CITIZEN IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD TODAY AND IT RIGHTEOUSNESS AND EVERY OTHER THINGS YOU CAN EVER THINK OR IMAGINE OF, WOULD BE ADDED TO YOU.
