" I am free.."

FREEDOM : " I am free "
"So if the Son (A) makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36

"I was walking down the road , when two friends were talking about their freedom. The friend says…”Here in this place we have all the freedom, I will show you. Come lets walk backwards…so they did, and nobody cares what they were doing, people just pass by onto them. So the friend says. “See? What I have told you…you will have all your freedom here…”

Freedom is what people were vying for, fighting for, voting for, and standing for. It was freedom they long for. Every people, whether young or old are wanting for their freedom. Children wants to be free from the hands of parents holding them when they’ve started to walk or run, teenage generation begging to be free to have their independency, to live a life of their own, adult works to find their freedom to choose their careers, their employments, their partners, old age want to be freedom to live to be respected by society..People were been bondage of every habits they long ,tried but fail to be free.

Freedom...Freedom...Freedom…all cries for one thing… to be free!

And yet, many were blinded of the freedom of this world, blinded to see the real freedom. For others just remain silent, numb, they just compromise, thought they will find peace when they remain in silence, but lo, we need to speak up. Come forth to be free. Free to share the key for the real freedom! Freedom to be blessed and prosperous, living without guilt, living to be free from slavery that keeps entangling us. We are not slave anymore...But we can be free. and our freedom comes to Only One…He sets us free, break the chain of slavery, free us to live a life of victory…free, yes!, we are free because of HIM…our Lord Jesus Christ! We will never be silent anymore, but will speak about HIM for real freedom comes only through HIM!

"Words of Life"

" Therefore, God set a certain day, calling it Today,...Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." Hebrew 4:7


Have you ever thought in your life as to how many words you have spoken or written in a day to voice your concern or cares? how many of those words whether spoken or unspoken that have been an encouragement to those who listen to it.., to those who have read on it, those you have been with..does our words lift their burden, or tear them apart?

Its surprisingly to know that we have spoken more than thousands of words in a day, but its sadly to realize how many of those words can touch and make a difference in our life and other`s life..The voice we have spoken, written, transmit can either break us or make us!can make them or break them...

But, there is a Word that build us up and transform us to be the best of who we are. The Word that can lift us up when we`re down, encouraged our spirit to move on, mold our character, renewed our spirit. The Word that leads us to the truth that can not only set us free from all bondages that chain us, but rather gave us the freedom to be blessed, to have a life of abundancy, to be succesful, to give us hope, not to be weary but give us the best future. Word that give us life and give us Hope..His voice...His Words...God`s words...The Holy Scripture!

In order to make our day right, we need to start our day right by pondering on this...

Today's Devotion- Life from the roots

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God. . . KJV

All good fruits become good for the roots are grounded in a good ground. . . this is the same in spiritual fruitfulness that we are enjoying as we serve Christ. . .

As we contemplate all the good things that we are and have in this life, both from the past to the present, some of us might be tempted to assume the honor and the glory for making good things to happen. But a sound minded man will always attribute everything to the roots of all this things!

The bible record it right from its first page. .. "In the beginning God" . . . not man, not, money, not genius man. but God!!!

In recognition of this the JIL church which we believed in born in the heart of God will be celebrating her 30th Founding Anniversary on October 5, 2008. Its main reason is to recognize her root which is in God!!!Though He choosed a man to make for it as He does in all the inventions, findings and discoveries that we have in our world.

As member of JIL even if we are physically absent on the venue, we should find a way to celebrate for His goodness to us as this ministry was used by God for the transformation of many particularly to Filipinos whose only hope was found and is deserving to hold on is the Lordship of Jesus in their life.

Let's find a moment of Thanksgiving; in prayer, in worship and in giving for the foundation of our faith is not in the wisdom of man but in God!!!

Lets thank Him for choosing Bishop Bro. Eddie Villanueva and his family. The millions of volunteers around the world ,who are now God's channel of blessing for the multitude of souls. And for someone you know that God used to bring you to this God given ministry!!!

Ever since we found the Lord in this Ministry, we have been guided, equiped and entrusted to serve God faithfully through all those years.

Our life was transformed both in personhood and attitude as well as in our well being! I could say it's not by might, nor by power ofan but by God!!!

This is our ministry, this is our church!! A ministry whose roots we cannot ignore! In the beginning God and He will be the center of everything we have in this life and in the life to come!!!

What a good place to be. .As JIL we can simply say, . "rooted in God"! All people Worship God!!

Rooted in God,

Today's Devotion- Walking in the Spirit

Gal 5:24-2624 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. NKJV

In the heart of God is the good of man! Man was created in the image of God with the breath of God who is His spirit. A man can only live to his best as he lives according to his making. To live otherwise is to lived less and worse not to lived at all!

Evidences of he who walks in the Spirit;

1. Sin is overcome- though we will be tempeted in all areas,God provided a help our of it. First of course is the conviction of the sin and the spirit of righteousness given to us. That's why when we sin we an't find peace until we confess it to Him. 1Jn 1:9

2. Joy is overflowing- We might not have all that we need, but we can still be grateful and satisfied for our soul rejoices in the Lord our God our saviour! Ps 100:1

3. Peace with men- No matter what we hear or feel, peace is realized in Christ who lives in us by His pirit. Jn 14:27

4. Hope in God- As we walk in the Spirit we can just believed all things are possible and will lead for ourgood! Rom 8:28

5. Praise and Worship- ultimately, the life in the spirit will be a life so connected to our Creator that will just bring us to an attitude of worship, regardless of the day, the time, the situation.

6. Prayerful- As we allow His Spirit to lead us, We will always long to commune with Him. Our source of life and blessing. Talking to God will be a great previledge to enjoy by those tho knows Him. Jer 33:3

7. Meditates His word- So many thought, somany opinions and so much news in this world, but only one consumes the heart and mind of him who walks with Him, and affects him and that is His word! Ps 1:1-3

Its a true blessing to walk in the Spirit, which is only possible if we have Christ in our hearts by accepting Him as our Lord and Savior! Jn 3:16.

We can all walk this way, a better way, a life giving Spirit walking with us, while we live in this cruel world!

Today's Devotion- Forgiveness sets you free!!!

Matt 18:21-22
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?"
22 Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.NIV

250. Practicing Forgiveness Spurgeon advised, "Cultivate forbearance until your heart yields a fine crop of it. Pray for a short memory as to all unkindness." That is how the truly wise man acts.
(from Illustrations of Bible Truths Copyright © 1995, 1998 by AMG International, Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission.)

A common situation to a person who is sorrounded by other people is to be offended, either intentionally or not. Its not actually a question of why but of how to deal with every situation like that. Some might retaliate, some would just be silent and keep the offense to their heart. Though their is a better option in which is the most difficult; and that is what Christ is asking us to do; Forgive!!!

As we forgive these great things happen;

1. We will be release from ill feeling that affects our behavior
2. Peace both inside and with God
3. Freedom from all evil thought that will infest you after you norture that offense
4. Answer to prayer
5. Being forgiven also in return.

We might not know it but forgiveness is an essential part to live free of many hurt aches and trouble.

Doing it is only possible if Christ love dwells in us! Let His shed blood covers all wrongs done by others as he covers your own wrong doing!

God bless and please forgive who ever and no matter what!

Today's Devotion- "Come to me"

Matt 11:28
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.KJV

An invitation of Christ to those who would accept their true situation in this life. Some might think that this is only for the poor and the homeless, but if only man will admit that life without Christ is nothing better to a pouper inspite of education and riches. The truth is, their are more record of suicide and depression to the middle class and the upper. They are only good in hiding and covering it. But to those who would come openly to Hm who invites us all, we will find the rest we are longing to enjoy. So, what hinders us from coming to a generous invitation?

1. Pride
2. Self righteousness
3. Religiousity
4. Wrong priority
5. Lack of knowledge of the truth

Whatever our reson is, He is still waiting for us to come to Him, not for His good for for those who would come!

Rest is a state not after this life is over, but when we let Him live over this life!
2 Cor 5:17-18Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! NIV

If you have not done so, Come to Him. He is just a prayer away!

You'll never know what great thing He can do to you, unless to come to Him, by accepting Him as your Lord and Savior!

Call to Jesus now!
He wants to give you rest while you live in this troubled world!

We don't need to change, He will changed us!

Today's Devotion-The Shield of Faith

Eph 6:16-17. . . . . . .take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. NIV

Many are so concern with the troubles in this life, that some even blame God for thier failures and frustrations they have. Well, not to those who know their God! For they always assured of the victory in every detail of their life's affair. Specially those who uses the God given resources both in defense and offense. Life is a warfare and the battleground is our very life, through every circumtances we come across to. We can always come victorious out of it all!

Shiled of Faith can never be broken, nor destroyed by any attemps of the enemy of our soul. For it is made of the faithfulness of God, formed by His and grace and strengthened by the word of God and provided for free by His begooten Son to those who believed!

We every son and daughter of the Almighty must bring it and use it every day!

No reason to worry, no time to fear The Lord our God is here! A declaration of those who hold their "shield of faith"!

Have Faith in God-Mark 11:22"Have faith in God. John 1:12
" Jesus answered.NIV
Have Faith in Jesus -John 1:12
12 To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:BBE
Have Faith in His word-Isa 55:111 so is my word that goes out from my mouth:It will not return to me empty,but will accomplish what I desireand achieve the purpose for which I sent it. NIV
Have Faith in you, that he will use you to do great things through you!-John 15:16
16 You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.BBE

God bless and let your life be shielded by the faith of the Son of God who is in you!!!

Blessed more than deserved,

Today's Devotion - Being alone with God

Matt 14:23-243 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, NIV

Every believer, no matter how busy must find a way to be alone with his Master and Lord. Not for any special reason, but the basic need of every soul is to be connected with his creator and established a solid union with Him. If we haven't spend time alone with Him, the possibility is we will become so distant from Him and even fail to listen to Him anymore. It's a critical situation when the created does not know his creator anymore, oh what a frustrating life it could be. . .We might develop;

1. The sense of being abandoned- though He haven't and wouldn't- Heb 13:5
"Never will I leave you;never will I forsake you."NIV

2. The sense of being lost-Isa 53:6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,each of us has turned to his own way;NIV

3. The sense of being on our own-
1 Cor 6:19-20You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. NIV

Being with God alone is priceless! You will be in the right mind, right heart, right direction and right walk. Everything with Him will be Alright!

You will walk this life, with His comfort, peace, presence and provision as you spend time with Him always!!!

It is a pride not to spend time with Him!!! Oh we are not really busy unless we're with Him!

26:8 God, I love living with you;your house glows with your glory. (from THE MESSAGE: The Bible in Contemporary Language © 2002 by Eugene H. Peterson. All rights reserved.)

God bless and meet you in His presence!!!

Ottawa Leaders- God's People pleasing to be with!!!

Prov 18:24. . .there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. NIV

Last night was my meeting with JIL Ottawa CMT. You can sense the excitement in thier facing though you know they are trying to hide thie fatigue and tiredness from the whole work they 've been. Yet being together as brethren inspired us to forget what we feel in the flesh just to encourage others in the Lord.

Its so amazing to know how God is fatihfully leading our church here, proven by the status and updates we have reviewed. We are close to the goals to some, and over reached others. Its a sign of God's grace and man's case.

One time meeting is not sufficient to discuss it all, but we adjorn to give them time to rest and prepare to the coming day. I prayed with them and for them as if I was alone with God to tell Him how this brethren has blessed us; personally and ministerially. I know God heared it as He usually does.

Today I will be meeting them again with all the Cell Leaders so that we can encourage and bless each other in Christ our Lord.

We will inquire in the presence of the Lord as we behold His glory!

Ps 27:4
4 One thing I ask of the Lord,this is what I seek:that I may dwell in the house of the Lordall the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the Lordand to seek him in his temple. NIV

Being blessed to be with my Brethren,

My experience- Just for my friends!!!

Left Behind!!!

Matt 24:39-42That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.NIV

I suppose to be in the 7:am flight going to ottawa today. Last night me and my wife was so busy doing lots of things in the house until we found out that its already 1:00am! So immediately went to bed to find sleep, but to no avail. We're still sharing good and challenging things in this life until we just fall asleep. Then as usually happened, our youngest son Elijamin, entered our room and say good morning!!!

I know something is wrong because I should not be there unless he came in that early. Finding that time is not as its suppose to be! We rush up, run to take shower with out shampooing or even soaping. (hehehehe).

Contact Ptr. Ronald to take me to the Airport. Contact the airline for help. Thank God they did. But not for free of course. (My suppose sale ticket became an expensive one. (hehehe).

While on my way to avail th new flight, I was wondering how many times my name is being aired in Toronto International Airport!!

Thank God I did'nt hear it!!!

Hopefully this will not happen in the coming of the Lord that I will be late to meet the Lord in the air!!! Or I will be left behind!

Good there is another flight. But to the rapture there's only one flight!!! BE ready!!!

Just be in time is always the better time!!!

Thank you Ptr. Ronald for coming to the rescue!!!

Today's Devotion-Tested Faith

1 Peter 1:3-9
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade — kept in heaven for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that your faith — of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire — may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.NIV Faith

A Story; Tested by TrialsFaith Tested by Trials
Have you ever seen a blacksmith work with a piece of iron? He holds it in the fire to soften it and make it pliable. That is exactly why God permits the testing of your faith by temptations and trials. He wants you to acquire patience, to acquire pliability. If you and I are constantly out of the fire of affliction, we become stiff and useless. God wants to reshape us according to His image, for in the fall of Adam we lost our divine shape, our divine image.
(from Illustrations of Bible Truths Copyright © 1995, 1998 by AMG International, Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission.)

Testing and Faith seemingly are related to each other, one gives the reason for others existence. God, in His wisdom made it that way. A person who has many trials will eventually find that He has great Faith that will make him through it all. Though sometimes we did'nt realize such power is at work with us. Any person who are in Christ are definitely destined to be tested, not to fail but to pass and promoted for greater testing. He who is faithful in little things, will be faithful in greater things. That's why Faith is tested not with little things, for he who has faith has the power to overcome everything in Christ!

4 Things we should consider when we are in Trails.

1. Its our faith that's under testing and by faith we will overcome -Mk 9:27

2. All trials are common to man, therefore its not new, it might to you but not in this world. In view of this solution is already available, it just need wisdom and patience to make it known.-! Cor 10:13

3. All trials are God given, though most of the time satan uses it to deprived us to honor God. If this the case let's trust God and keep honoring Him. Victory starts when we pursue in honoring God no matter what.

4. God's purpose for sending us to trials is clear- to make us lack nothing, and for us to be complete-James 1:3-5

Therefore, lets not complain rather face every day looking ahead, beyond the cloud of trial is our victory for we have faith in Christ that when tested will be as gold, so precious that can be offered for His glory!

Thank you Lord for trusting us with such trials,for by it our faith will bring you praise!

Today's Devotion-Faith that Works Miracle

Mark 11:22-25
22 "Have faith in God," Jesus answered. 23 "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. NIV

According to Heb 11:1-2
11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. NKJV

Faith is Now- not later! It must be applied NOW!
Faith is the substance of things we hope for- Substance means -matter, essence, material, core.Therefore it is the very reason why we hope for a thing to come.

Faith is the evidence of things not seen- It is what we are holding to believed.

Therefore Faith is power. Its active!

That's why Jesus said in book of Mark that it casn move mountain!

Every men and women who wants to see God doing His wonders and miracles must let their faith works!

The good thing is that God did not selectthe few to have faith -Rom 12:3
3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given youNIV

God is good that He give every one the potential to experience miracle in a personal level. We always wonder How God does things and the answer is there! By Faith! Book of Hebrews Explains How God exercise the power of Faith to make the thing created.

3 Things neede to make Faith works miracles

1. Faith must have the right source- The word of God is the right source to strenghten faith, as we know all men was givern by God a measure of fasith but sad to say not all men nurture thier faith rightly.
Some just depend on other, some in supertition others in reasons. But God gave the Word to make faith able to work miracles. Faith cometh from hearing and hearing the word of GodRom 10:17 says.

2. Faith must have the right connection -meaning it must be connected to the righ person, No other than Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Heb 12:2. Only Jesus can make our faith reach the throne of God. Jn 14:6
-Another person that we must connect our faith to is with the people that possess and teasure thier relationship with Jesus- ! Cor 11:1. Being with right men will make our faith go strong and we will be influence to keep our faith in Christ. Though thier are noble and kind friend out tier, but as far as keeping a working faith is concern, we must be surrounded by men of faith.

3. Faith must be applied- As we see in the verses above fiaht to work must be used is;
prayer Mk 11:23, In ministering to others Mk 16:16-18, in Worship, Heb 11:6, In thought Phil 4:8 and in words-Mk11:23 and other records of the bible.

Well friends these things I share to you is a portion of the message I shared last Miracle service we had here in Toronto church.

God bless and always remember "God is greater than the totallity of problem in this world". God is able to make good things work in your life!

Todays Devotion-God is Faithful

Deut 7:9-109 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. NIV

Well, just a day after our successful "Miracle Service" attended by our members from our 6 Toronto Churches held at Ukrainian Community Center, God shown again His faithful ness by touching lives of the thousand who went there. God even brought 34 first timers who made it more glorious. We never doubted God will moved again. We heared testimonies of Miracle of conceptions and conversions!

This is another show of God's unchanging commitment to His word. He moved in our midst not because we are better than other, nethier because we are holier than others but simply because He is as He said He is and will be.

To each and every one of God who depend on God's goodness rest assured that God will not fail you as His promise to be Faithful is in His nature to fulfill! It dos not depend on what we did or will be doing.

Glory be to God!

But this does not mean that every servant of God will take it lightly. His Faithfulness to us must be a treasure that we can only keep as we do all His biddings and command. It's common for a man to return good for the good he recieves. Though no one can equal Gods goodness on us. It is but just to return to His goodness a faithful service and an honest living!

May we continue to enjoy His Faithfulness! and may He continue to see our labor of love and faithful service!
"What a faithful God have I"!

Today's devotion -We need Him!!!

John 15:16-1716 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit — fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. NIV

When we hear people testify how much they sacrifice in obedience to God, it mostly focus on how much they lost and the price they paid. As if God brought them in a desperate situation and they have lost a better things in exchange for a lesser things. We must be reminded that none of us is needed by God to do what he intend in His creation and plan. Every called person must realized that is placed in a status of preveledge and purpose.
Phil 3:7-11
7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ — the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. NIV.

No matter what we lost in obeying Christ, it's not a reason to count it lost but a reminder that all we have is at His disposal. He who created can call any one and place anything to His subject.

On the other hand, God is so good to be thought of loosing something in following Him. Nothing we have that should not be at His call and nothing we recieved that we should not accept as for our good! (Rom 8:28)

Let's come to this conclusion, God don't need in anything, not even in worship. We need Him in everything. And in all His word said in His word to do is for our good, so that we can enjoy His goodness and benefit from obeying Him. If you are called by Him, leaved everything behind and follow Him with joy and look ahead while we lost everything for Him it's nothing to be compared in pleasing Him.

God bless and keep Him even if we might lost all things!

Today's Devotion- Sept 11, 2008 "The Lord's guidance daily"
Ps 25:4-7
4 Show me your ways, O Lord,teach me your paths; 5 guide me in your truth and teach me,for you are God my Savior,and my hope is in you all day long. 6 Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love,for they are from of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youthand my rebellious ways;according to your love remember me,for you are good, O Lord. NIV

A daily guidance of the Lord is a sure blessing that we should not miss as His children. It will save us from failures and frustrations. Keep us safe from temptation that lures both in the dark and midst of the day. A child of the Lord take it not an offense to be interupted when the Lord changes his course of the day and intended plan. But with trust and loving confidence we will let Him guide us for a blessed and safer day. Whatever you are crossing and cruising in this day, look up for He who holds the whole creation holds you with his loving hands.

God bless and always remember "God is greater than the totality of problem in this world". "Dont be afraid to entrust your unknown future to a known God"

Blessed in the Camp

Being in a place where you can be alone with God not because of trials is rare to find in countries where material abundance is the pursuit. Thank God He has provided us a beautiful Camp site here in Ontario where we are spending much of our days this summer in response to the privilege of being blessed by Gods trust.
In this writing, I am facing the lake where it said it has 3 springs underneath which supply this beautiful Oak Lake. It was so rich that you can catch lots of good fish. So calm that you find people swimming across it. It’s like a big swimming pool surrounded by many grown trees and residential homes as well as cottages, trailers and cabins.
The sky is so blue that you can feel the power and love of God. Fresh wind blowing that cause the small current changes in different direction. You can see fishing boats that’s has men hopeful to have a big catch.
You can also see my own children, swimming and playing on the trampoline that so confident of safelt and peace.
The nature here is so complete!
Today I just met many of our neighbors, who as we thought are really kind and friendly. To mention some, there is Dan, Barb, Steve, Scott and others.
Bob and Marianne of course is always there for us for most of times of need.
I am so privilege to understand the blessing of God by visual.
Four Important Lessons I learn as I contemplate His presence in this lake!
1. God created this world wonderfully and with beauty.
2. Man is responsible to keep its wonder and beauty.
3. Nature speaks of the creator in a very vivid way.
4. There is life in every creation of God
We will be closing the Camp site this End of August 2008 and we will be visiting it every week to keep it clean and well maintained as we are looking forward to improve its facilities.
Join us in praying for it as you approach God’s presence!
See you again next summer!!!

Gods Kingdom Come!!!

Luke 12:32-34
32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. 34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
NIV
Kingdom according to the Thesaurus is synonyms to realm, empire, monarchy, sovereignty and territory.
This all speaks of the rule of one!
Therefore, when we speak of God’s Kingdom Dominion, we are talking about Gods rule here on earth in all dimensions and sphere.
But how can it be realized? Will Gods rule make life and things better? Or it will be another form of slavery and difficulty in life?
Well, to answer this question, we must refer to where the idea of Gods Kingdom Come came from. The Bible!
The description of Gods Kingdom:
1. A place of freedom from sin and satans work –that means no more war in any form. No death no sickness and diseases. Luke 11:20-22
20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
21 "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.
NIV
2 A place of prosperity and sufficiency-John 14:1-4
1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going."
NIV
3. A place of peace, love and harmony -John 14:27
7 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. NIV
Rev 21:1-5 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
NIV
Many biblical study shows that the Kingdom of God comes in 3 realizations;
1. Spiritual realization- which is received by the person who entrust their lives to God through His son Jesus Christ.- John 1:10-13 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God- 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
NIV
2. Literal realization- which is the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to establish His millennial Kingdom here on earth based in Jerusalem- Rev 21:1-5
3. Physical realization- which refers to the status of life of all who has been privilege to experience heaven here on earth. A Kingdom mindset that makes God’s Kingdom a physical manifestation and advancing His Kingdom until He comes!
Matt 6:9-13

9 "This, then, is how you should pray:

"'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
NIV
Today we are looking and believing in the manifestation of Gods Kingdom in our generation.
Where those who believe in Him will enjoy;
A. Abundance of His provision
1. Long satisfied life
Health
2. Peace
3. Joy
4. Prosperity
5. Presence of God
6. Righteousness
Therefore, Gods Kingdom is far better than any kingdom this world could ever experience!
Lets all pray for His Kingdom to come upon our lives and upon this world!!!
Let Gods Kingdom takeover your life by inviting His Son Jesus to your heart, making Him your Lord and Savior!
The Kingdom of this world will be the Kingdom of our Lord!!!
