Luke 9:60 But Jesus told him, “Let the spiritually dead bury their own
dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.
Matthew 24:14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be
preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear
it; and then the end will come.
5. The kingdom is manifested by the power of God.
Luke 9:2 Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the
Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Luke 10:9 Heal the sick, and tell them, „The Kingdom of God is near
you now.
Jesus said to those questioning His authority and power:
Luke 11:20 But if I am casting out demons by the power of God,
then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you.
The kingdom of God is manifested by His rule and reign. Where
God rules and reigns there is righteousness, peace, and joy in the
Holy Spirit, freedom from darkness, sin and shame. So He will clean
out anything that stands in the way of His rule. So where His
kingdom is we will see the mighty manifestation of Gods hand.
6. The kingdom must have first priority.
Matthew 6:33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live
righteously, and He will give you everything you need.
It speaks of searching desperately for Gods rule in your life, for in
that place He will guide you in the correct priorities and constantly
guide you on this path of life, in that you will make wise decisions
and pick the fruit of that.
The kingdom of God is a mystery indeed, complex, yet simple if we
remain like children in our approach, and the same counts for the
church, its complex yet simple if we just remain faithful in our
contributions and calling.
