THE KINGDOM OF GOD HAS COME!


Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God [`Mark 1:14}.

Jesus came preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God. He said the time is fulfilled; the Kingdom of God is here [Mark 1:15}. What is the Kingdom of God?
The Kingdom of God is not a place; it’s the reign of God, where He becomes Lord, where He becomes the Boss, and rules; where He’s in charge, and expresses Himself-His glory and His goodness. That’s why Jesus warned that when you’re told ‘’the Kingdom of God is over there or over here,’’ you shouldn’t believe it; because the Kingdom doesn’t come by observation; it’s within you {Luke 17:20-21}. God’s plan is to set up His Kingdom in the hearts of men; it’s a spiritual Kingdom.

    Recall when Jesus was brought before Pilate, in John 18:36-37; Pilate asked Him some questions to which He responded, ‘’…My Kingdom is not this world…’’ {John 18:36}. God’s Kingdom is not a physical structure; accordingly Jesus said, ‘’it has come’’-{ie.] to be set up in the hearts of men. Thus, the Gospel of the Kingdom that Jesus preached is , ‘’Hello everybody, God’s Kingdom can be set up now in your hearts; it has arrived! The time has come for God to set up His headquarters in your heart.’’ This wasn’t possible in the days of Abraham, Moses, Elijah, David, Solomon, and the patriarchs of old. However, when Jesus came, He brought the Kingdom in Him.
Being born again, the Kingdom is now in your heart: the peace, the beauty, the glory, and the life of God have been set up in your heart! God is at home in you now. What a life He’s brought to us, and brought us into! He wants it published in every village, town, city, and nation-that anyone who believes can now have the Kingdom of God set up in his heart! What a Gospel!


                                                                                        Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the Kingdom of God has been set up in my heart, thus, bringing into me, life of glory. I declare that my life is for your glory, and I show forth your virtues, excellence, perfections, and beauty, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

THE POWER OF YOUR EXPECTATIONS

It's great to be expectant! You can only live a life of celebration and grace by putting your hopes and expectations on the Word of God.

If you can get the Word into your system, there is nothing you can't achieve. That's the secret of the miraculous, the supernatural!

It is your responsibility to invest the Word of God in yourself by studying it regularly. If you can inundate your mind with it and store it in your spirit, the Word of God will produce great results in you and you will glow with the Glory of God.

 The Word of God has the creative power to transform your life. God's Word is tested and proven! It never fails.  Once you have learn t to anchor your  existence on the on the Word and you are on your way to a life of success and permanent prosperity.


The expectations of those around you modify your behavior for better, or for worse. Your own expectations can fill you with energy, or drive you into despair and despondency. Expectations narrow your choices in life, while providing drives, which energize you into achieving higher goals. Imitative learning, unique self perceptions and social boundaries mold the expectations, which intuitively focus your goals and empower your endeavors.










Your Tongue Controls Your Life

Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou are taken with the words of thy mouth.
                                   [Proverbs 6v2].


There is a spiritual language for the Christian. That's why, as a child of God, you ought to put the Word on your lips, because the supernatural life is based on your tongue. Your tongue controls your life.

The Apostle James likened the tongue as a rudder of a great ship, which the captain uses to direct the ship wherever he wants {James 3v4-5}.

In Matthew 12v36-37, Jesus said, ''But I say unto you, that every idle word men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the Day of judgement. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.'' literally, this means a man will go to heaven or hell because of what he said or didn't say, with his tongue! Read the Apostle Paul's words about salvation in Romans 10v8-10: ''...if thou shalt confession with the mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with thine heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

          Your tongue controls your life. If a man's words are confusing, his words will be confusing as well. In the same vein, if your words are wholesome, your words will be wholesome, perfect and inspiring! Proverbs 15v4 says, ''A wholesome tongue is a tree of life...''Jesus taught that what you say is what you get {Mark 11v23].

                         Watch what you say, for your confessions control your future. Proverbs 12v18 says, There is that speaketh like piercings of a sword: But the tongue of the wise is health.'' You can keep yourself in health, safety, prosperity and victory with your tongue. Talk faith, success, and increase! 1 Peter 3v10 says, ''For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.


                                                       Prayer    

Dear  Father, thank you for teaching me about the power of my words. Through your Word, and by your Spirit, I'm  training my tongue to speak only life-giving words that are consistent with your will for my life, and I declare that my future is secure, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
