Kingdom
Culture
Good
morning I pray the Lord has blessed you beyond measure since my last message. It
is amazing God has placed so much inside of us and given us so much responsibility.
The Lord really began to deal with me about this message last week as I
observed some things around my job about a Kingdom Culture. A culture is comprised
of the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular
nation, people, or other social group. A kingdom is a state or government
having a king or queen as its head. A kingdom is also anything conceived as a
realm or sphere of independent action or control. God desires are for us to
create a Kingdom culture. We are simply ambassadors of our King that we serve.
Everything that he desires to be in the Earth will be done by men because it’s
Gods desire that you become the church and not just go to church (Matthew
16:18). Secondly, God gives you the responsibility to influence and change
every environment around you that doesn’t reflect His government (Matthew
16:19). Yes that means your home, job, community, and the church itself should
be impacted to be transformed into the reflection of the Kingdom of God (Matthew
6:10). God never offered you religion, but he offered you a heavenly government
that pertained covenant rights and promises to its citizens. Therefore the
citizens must have the perspective of the King who established the Kingdom. The
perspective of our heavenly King is to transform regions, which is why he gave
the disciples regions to preach the message of the Kingdom (Matthew 24:14).
This means we as believers must rise to places of influence and leadership
positions on our jobs, in our communities, homes, school systems, political
arena, and government. It is important that you understand this dynamic because
it affects those you were chosen to lead and everyone around you as well (Prov.
29:2). Even in the business arena we must establish a presence so that we
wisely begin to circulate our resources back into the church instead of outside
the church (Nehemiah 11:16, Luke 16:8-9). It is amazing many do not realize how
effective the church must be in business because it must have its own
structure. There will never be a government greater than or one that can even
compare to the Kingdom of God. Every type of government man tries to instill
will fail. There is no way around it we must become the church and establish
the Kingdom of God on Earth as we were instructed. Even in light of all the
judicial cases lately where the justice system has failed is more proof that
man’s system isn’t going to work. As a citizen in the Kingdom of God we are
supposed to operate within our own judicial system that was established by our
King for his Kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:1-6). I pray that you will study,
research, and discover the truth of the Kingdom of God. I pray that you will
discover purpose and fulfill the mandate of our King.
