The Promise of Kingdom Rediscovery

The Old Testament is earth’s file of heaven’s record of the promise of the coming of the King and the Kingdom. All the prophecies were about His arrival and what He would bring; the laws given to Moses foreshadowed the laws and principles of the Kingdom. There are thousands of references to this specific announcement and a few are worth reviewing:
·         Moses predicted it:
The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to Him (Deuteronomy 18:15).

·         David spoke of the Kingdom:
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations (Psalm 145:13).

·         Isaiah saw the coming of the King and the Kingdom in detail:
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this (Isaiah 9:6-7).

·         Daniel saw the King and the Kingdom in graphic detail:
In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed (Daniel 7:13-14).
 So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things: “The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will rise from the earth. But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever – yes, for ever and ever” (Daniel 7:21-22).
 But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey Him. This is the end of  the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself (Daniel 7:26-28)
It is incredible to read few Scriptures and see, without a doubt, that the message of the Bible is about the coming of a kingdom, not a religion. However, the announcement of the Old Testament was about the coming of a prophet who would prepare the way and introduce the Messiah King to the world personally. This was referring to John the Baptist. Let’s read the prophecy from Malachi:  
Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel. See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes, He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse (Malachi 4:4-6).
So we see that the restoration plan of God was in motion from its earliest announcement to the adversary in Genesis, chapter 3. The prophecy stated that He would come and prepare the people for the entrance of the King and the Kingdom.

The Message, Mission and Mandate of Jesus Christ!

“The most dangerous thing is illusion” ·          Ralp Waldo Emerson Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth. It is an illusion to think you know when you don’t really know. I was in the church for almost 40years not really known what the message of Jesus Christ is. I didn’t know what He came to do, I thought I knew but I wasn’t. I could see you already laughing or making jest of me please wait I tell you the truth you don’t know either. I am not a baby believer. I have been in the faith for years. I attended Bible believing church where God’s undiluted words are being preached. I went to church regularly. I have been to Bible College your so called theological school for years but not a course on what Jesus came do. I was trained as disciple and pastor not known the message, mission and mandate of Jesus. I wonder what messages we preach or what is going-on on our pulpits today or what our Bible Colleges teach? I am trying ...

Misunderstanding the Message and the Method

“The greatest danger in life is the misconstruing of a concept”. -           Dr. Myles Munroe There was not a single prophet before Abraham, please check your Bible and why this? A careful study of the promise will show that the promise was made “to” the nations “through” Abraham. This promise was the material for the introduction of prophets to the world. All the prophets of the Old Testament were raised up primarily to continually proclaim this promise of the coming messianic king, who would restore the Kingdom our father, Adam lost. Abraham had a son of promised, Isaac, who had two sons named Jacob and Esau. Jacob was chosen by God to be the line for the seed of the Messiah King and his name was changed by God Himself to Israel, which means “prince with God.” Perhaps this was to confirm the royal line of descendants. Israel had 12 sons who became known as the 12 tribes or clans of Israel and collectively as the Israelites. The He...
