The kingdom of God is a kingdom that doesn’t change; everything from the kingdom of God has that characteristic quality and when you watch God, you will see that He works through principles. Human beings look for methods because we deal with the application side, but God communicates with us through principles, and this is what we should come to church to learn, understand and master – the principles of God’s kingdom.
When you master the principles of God’s kingdom and you take them into your life’s situation, you cannot be defeated working those principles. The bible says “whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world” (1 John 5:4). It didn’t say whosoever is born of God, it says whatsoever. Therefore, whatever comes from God, whatever is of the kingdom of God will automatically overcome the world. The bible says, “His kingdom ruleth over all” (Psa. 103:19). It doesn’t mean there will not be disobedience or resistance and things like that, but when you apply the principles of the kingdom of God in life situations, they will rule over those situations. Where God is not allowed to rule, He will overrule.
Just like you have a magistrate court, a high court, and then a supreme court, the kingdom of God is part of the Supreme Court of the universe. Nothing can set aside whatsoever God has decreed and anything that is coming from the Kingdom of God can nullify anything that has been decreed somewhere else lower than the Kingdom of God. Therefore, you must understand the principles of the Kingdom of God which are not difficult to understand as they come in the words of the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER: Lord, I pray for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. I will always know what to do and not be confused. I open to divine teachings of Your principles in Jesus’ name. Amen!
