Preaching the Kingdom (Part 1)

Almost everyone believes in a "god" in their own rite. Some believe in the muslim tradition of allah, some believe in a higher power with no name, some believe in many "gods", even atheists and humanists alike believe in a "god" in which is deemed themselves. So what does this have to do with the kingdom? Everything. From the outset it must be understood that God is the Ruler, Creator, and King of all. Now this was and is the God of Israel. The God that was spoken about in the ancient scriptures by the Israelites. (Psalm 103:19; Psalm 145:13, just to name some about the Kingdom). Now that we establish the Ruler of the Kingdom, we must look to the citizens, which are the Israelites, and in better understanding, those in Christ; thus Christans. We are the Kingdom people. How did we or how do we become citizens of this kingdom? Adam and Eve were the first citizens born into this Kingdom, which was a Kingdom of love and communion with God. The story told to us in Genesis 1-3, explains how God created Adam and Eve as His people, but they failed to follow the law, which was love for God and for one another. They failed to listen to God which led to their fall. And, to sum it up, now all mankind has inherited the curse from the first Adam. So, throughout the Word of God we read how God foretold that the time would come when Satans' dominion and control through the curse, that we basically asked for, would come to and end. First, God would bring His people back into communion with Him, but first they must be shown that they have fallen (thus we have the Law (Galatians 3:24). But the Law cannot produce or revive the spirit of Love that we once had, so God promised He would re-establish that (Isaiah 9:6). Thus comes Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. And if we can understand the titles of Lord and Savior, we can understand why this Christ was prophesied. Christ came and preached " The time is fulfilled: the Kingdom of God is at Hand", thus the time has arrived that God has established his communion with His people through Jesus Christ, and we are brought back into glory as Kingdom people. This is the "Gospel = Good News". (Luke 4:18-19). Now we can rest assured that Our God Reigns (Isaiah 52:7). The Gospel of the Kingdom through Jesus Christ is that our God is not "a god" afar off, or with no connection to us. Our God is King, and he rules in righteousness, he delivers His people from sin and destruction, and reveals His glory and righteousness to them. May God keep the thoughts of His Kingdom in your heart, Michael Miano

So here is my conclusion from today. The "gospel of the kingdom" was foretold in the Old Testament, preached by Jesus—brought by Jesus!—preached by the early church, and should be preached by us until all the peoples hear it. This gospel of the kingdom is the good news that, at the coming of Jesus, God moved into this world in an unprecedented way. Since Jesus has come, God is exerting his right to rule in new and powerful ways. He is attacking his enemy the devil in new ways. He has dealt with sin in a new way. He is gathering a people in a new way. He is empowering his representatives in new ways. And in all this he is reigning as king. This is the coming and the advancement of his kingdom.
And this is good news. It is the gospel of the kingdom. Therefore let every one of us turn from every other claim on our allegiance and surrender to the King of kings. Let's repent of all rebellion and treason, accept the terms of his amnesty, and let's put our trust in the King of glory
