Old Testament Glimpses of the Kingdom預覽
The Unstoppable Kingdom
David’s men were constantly advancing the borders of the Kingdom through warfare. They never ceased to be a warring people and all of their attempts to expand the Kingdom were successful. They had the full backing of their king behind them in this pursuit. In Christ’s Kingdom, He forms us into a people of war with constant Kingdom expansion in our hearts. This represents a huge difference between the traditional Christian and the Kingdom man or woman.
As you read the pages of David’s story, you begin to come upon list after list of all of the people who were employed within his reign. There were many areas of service and David employed hundreds and thousands for the good of the people and the glory of God. The people were happy under David because they had a place of productivity and purpose. Today, in the Kingdom of God there is full employment in the cause. There are not a few who work while most sit on the sidelines, living for themselves, enjoying the benefits of Jesus, for all are called, employed, and empowered for the purposes of God.
Reflection Question:
- Do you know that you too have the full backing of a King?
Prayer
Father, we thank you for your guidance and partnership in the journey of advancing your Kingdom. We thank you that we were created for significant purposes so that your glory may be revealed to all of those we come across.
