Introduction:
During this series of the Kingdom Agenda, I hope you understand how the Individual must be rooted in God, because the individual impacts the family, and the family impacts the Church.
But the Church exists to impact the Nations.
You see in government there is the entity of the Embassy.
The Embassy of any government is located on the foreign soil of another government.
The Embassy represents a little taste of home to those who are Ambassadors to the foreign country.
The visible Church is to represent the invisible Kingdom of God on Earth for the purpose of advancing the the Will of God.
There is the the competing system of Satan.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places ().”
This other Kingdom is physically and spiritually represented.
Satan is the ruler of this physical realm (; ).
And he has implemented systems satiate your temporal desires, to help you find pride in your person and look on temporal things.
This Philosophy is a lie from Satan set to try and keep the Gospel at bay, to prevent mankind from turning to God.
God is the creator of Government
Government was never to operate outside of Him
Define Religion: An institutionalized system of religious beliefs and practice
Define Politics: from the Greek word politikos meaning affairs of the people.
A person’s political allegiances or opinions.
The Christian life can not be compartmentalized.
You either belong to one Nation or the other.
A house divided will not stand
“He who comes to a fork in the road and goes both directions splits his pants.”
Define Nation: Nation is does not mean
There are to Kingdoms that exist The Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan
What Nation do you belong to?
Background (Philippians):
Originally a Greek colony
named after Philip of Macedon
Rome defeated the Greeks and made it a Roman colony.
in 42 BC, Brutus and Cassius (Killed Julius Caesar) were defeated by Mark Antony and Octavian (Emperor Augustus).
You had Roman citizenship, property rights and legal rights.
No poll or land tax
In return they pledged allegiance to the Roman Emperor’s authority in both government and religion.
Citizens of Phillipi were at the same time citizens of the city of Rome.
Those in control of this region were emphatically Roman and spoke Latin (aristocracy)
While the majority of the population (Thracians and Greeks) were farmers, skilled trades, slaves and merchants who spoke Greek.
The Thracians were and native to these land and there names were not listed anywhere in any public or funerary inscriptions.
The Thracian people were reduced to villages and mountainous regions.
They were the underclass and could only obtain citizenship if they had the money to purchase it.
Roman citizenship, language, culture and pagan religion were dominant when Paul wrote this letter.
Two Nations/Kingdoms
It is important to recognize that there are two Kingdoms
Gen 11:1-
Kingdom means:
a ruler and his reign
his activity
realm
benefits
It is a reign or dominion of God, Satan, or human leaders.
History of the two Kingdoms: Satan, Adam, and the rest of humanity.
The Kingdom of Sin (Ruler is Satan)
John 8:
grounded in Pride (Satan looked at himself and man looked at himself)
The Kingdom of Salvation (Ruled by God)
God’s ultimate reign of the Universe; Present spiritual reign of His people; Future messianic reign on earth.
purpose is to save a people for himself and renew the world for that people.
His rule implies saving and redeeming on behalf of the people.
The coming of this Kingdom is called good news.
This Kingdom of Satan is rooted in sin
“Nation” has nothing to do with physical boundaries but with the people .“Ethnos”
In Adam we all were united in death
But if you be a Christian, God changed your nationality by calling a people to himself.
Genesis 12
This morning I want to discuss your Nationality!
What nation or what people do you belong to?
Paul provides the marks of a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven.
A New Walk
Genesis 11:
Sinful man has a propensity to turn his back on G
Philippians 3:17
Don Schulas: Lemon, towel and water
Adam hid in the Garden ()
Paul stated follow me as I follow Christ ()
Paul could be imitated based on whom he followed.
Paul is saying follow me as long as my life corresponds with Christ.
The People called by God wanted a King
Look at others who walk like Christ and emulate
1 Samuel 1:8
1 Samuel 8:4-5
Walking refers to living a life that is rooted in Christ.
God would rather is vile that he would rather have another perditious man than to have a perfect God.
A New Agenda
Fast forward to today.
Philippians 3:18
There are those who are anti-God
God
They believed error and practiced it “walk” means ongoing.
enemies of the Cross.
There are physical enemies and Philosophical enemies of the Cross.
We live in a hostile world
Your faith will be challenged
My Professor use to always say that the ruler of this world Satan uses the ideas of Nietszche, Freud and Darwin.
Frued’s over sexualized view of the world, Darwin’s evolutionary change in the world, and Nietszche fatalistic view of the world.
Are we as jealous over the Cross as Paul was?
Do we do you tolerate heresy or false doctrines attributed to Christ.
Christianity is being politicized and used for any means necessary today.
Paul wept over false doctrinal matters.
He also knew that eternal destruction was the consequence
“whose god is their appetite”
Most of the views and philosophies of today are all based on personal desires (Earthly and temporary things.)
