 HEIRS OF HIS KINGDOM 


Jesus came into Galilee , preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God , And saying , The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand…(Mark 1:14-15).


PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME 


The Lord Jesus brought and offered the Kingdom to the Jews ; He preached to them saying , “ The kingdom of God is at hand” ( Matthew 3:2 ;Matthew 4: 17 ;Mark 1: 14 - 15 ; Luke 10:9) .


However, they rejected His message and turned down His offer of the kingdom.As a result, He declared to them , “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce it’s fruit”(Matthew 21:43 NIV).


The kingdom was offered, and all those who accepted its message received eternal life . Christians are those who have accepted the message of the kingdom , received eternal life into their spirits , and are now members- citizens and heirs of that kingdom.


No wonder the Bible tells us in Romans 8:16 -17 ( NKJV), “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God , and if children, then heirs - -heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him , that we may also be glorified together.”


Despite living in a world filled with wickedness and evil, He has granted us this extraordinary privilege to be heirs of His kingdom . We’re not of this world . We don’t belong in Satan’s realm ; we’re not under Satan’s jurisdiction or authority .


The Bible says in Colossians 1:13 that God has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His Love -son .Blessed be God! Also , He’s made us kings and priests in His glorious Kingdom to produce fruits of the Kingdom- fruits of righteousness and eternal life.


We’re the ones Peter referred to when he said , “ But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people ; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who had called you out of darkness into his marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9).Hallelujah!   


             PRAYER


Dear Father, I thank you for making me an heir of your glorious Kingdom.I recognize that I have received eternal life and have become a citizen and member of this Kingdom; therefore, I’m alienated from the depravities ,corruption and decadence in this present world. I’m enthroned with you , far above principalities and powers, in Jesus’Name. Amen 


   

 FURTHER STUDY :

Romans 8: 16-17 AMPC ; The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. 17 And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.


Ephesians 1:18-21 ; the eyes of your [a]understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality[b] and [c]power and [d]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.


Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY AUGUST 26TH 2024 EXTRICATED FROM DEATH …who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Timothy 1:10).  PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  The Bible records that in ancient times, humans lived for exceptionally long periods with lifespans exceeding 900 years. However, as sin increased, lifespans diminished. Genesis 6:3 says because of sin, man's lifespan was limited to 120 years. Moses, in his psalms, made an observation that due to sin, the typical lifespan of man was seventy years or eighty for those who were stronger. Even in old age, man’s life was filled with toil and sorrow, ultimately ending in death (Psalm 90:8-10). The Lord Jesus, however, came to address the root cause of this limitation, which is sin. Through His sacrifice, He provided salvation from sin and made eternal life possible. Eternal life includes “deathlessness.” When you were born again, you passed from death to life (John 5:24). Recall what we read in our them...

🌨️RHAPSODY OF REALITIES🌨️

👤PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc.DD. 🗒️THURSDAY,20 JANUARY 2022🗒️ ⏮️TOPIC: THE KINGDOM WAY OF LIFE  SCRIPTURE 📖 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son (Colossians 1:13) 📍THE MESSAGE📍 When you were born again, you were born into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Even though you now live and walk in His presence, you still have to learn how to live in this real Kingdom of Light, and the Scriptures will help you understand this by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul writing to Timothy said: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God…” (1 Timothy 3:15). This means there’s a way to behave oneself in the house of God. Christianity isn’t a way of life, but it has a way of life. In this Kingdom, there’s a language; we have our communication protocols. There’s a way of life; we think differently. This is something the devil doesn’t want many to know. He wants...
