The keys of the Kingdom of God

Keys are meant to open certain doors. There are keys to a car, boat, home, or office. Your car keys don’t open or start your brother’s car. Your safety deposit box key does not open Bill Gates’ safety deposit boxes. Too bad. Every key has its purpose, and every key opens something full of good or bad.

Wouldn’t you love to find a set of keys for a treasure chest full of gold and diamonds? Or to a beautiful home fully furnished just for you?

In Matthew 16, Jesus promised to give the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to Peter. Yes, that Peter. The Peter who often spoke before he thought. The one who eventually denied Christ three times. Yes, that one. If God gave Peter the keys, don’t you think He’d give them to you, too? “‘I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.’” (Matthew 16:19, NIV)

Can you imagine the contents of the Kingdom of Heaven? Don’t forget that we should be praying as Jesus taught us: “‘Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.’” (Matthew 6:10, NIV) Heaven comes to Earth through God’s ambassadors like you.

Jesus called you the light of the world. Why? Not because you are perfect or super godly all the time, but because you access kingdom resources and spread them around the world, around your world. You influence earthly kingdoms because God’s kingdom is inside of you. It’s time for you to bring heaven to Earth, but first, you must access it by faith in the power of Jesus Christ.

Be filled with heaven’s blessings so you can pour them out because you are His miracle.
