Who are We
Who are We
We were both created and made
Children of God
I made a statement that grabbed a lot of controversy, that we are all his creation but that we are not all his children
see we are all created by him, in his image, but the fact remains that all of us are not his children
not all of us accept him as our lord and savior
CHILDREN
We recieve something special by being His children
We are adopted into a royal family and we have a royal inheritance
An inheritance that was ours at createion
the moment that you became a child
THE KINGDOM
that is our inheritance
religion or christianity went through a point in life where pastors were teaching that Jesus was our inheritance
but i want to throw something out there. An inheritance is given usually when the person or inherit-ant dies.
and in my recollection no one had died yet worthy to forgive man for the injustices committed
many will say what about John
For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
and though john appears in the nt he was an ot prophet
and the holy spirit was not with john
john talked about the holy spirit but had not yet resided in man
thus as inheritors of the kingdom we inherit the embodiment of the kingdom
and to be an inherit-ant of something, you have to belong or be a part of something
see you you belong to two worlds.
you are a resident of this world, but your allegiance belongs to the kingdom of God
that everything that is the essence of the kingdom you now possess
see the kingdom is the essence of the the king
and you can’t be a king without a domain
and that within that domain is stuff
and to be a king there is rule
see the thing is that as a king you have to rule over something
But there is a huge difference between the earthly kingdom and the kingdom of God
see in the earthly kingdom there is an upper, a middle and a lower class
but in the kingdom of God there is ONE class
and in this class we are all equivalent
we are children of the one true king
we need each other
and as the bible says, we are one body with many members
It is through this spiritual family that we are sons and daughters
that is who we are before anything else
I have had a few conversations with people recently that the topic of this conversation is that they are sons
so i always ask them, what does that mean
- I have had a few converstations with people recently that they are sons,
I have had a few converstations with people recently that the
do you really know what a son is or what it means to be a son
well the definition of a son is a boy or man that is related to their parents
and you were adopted into this royal family
you were adopted into Gods family
as sons and daughters
illustration/roman adoption
See this adoption placed you in relation to the king
and by my calculation that makes you family and everything that is his is yours
that by being a kings kid means that you are entitled to everything that makes the king, king
See this adoption placed you in relation to the king
maybe i should say that again,
but by being a kings kid that means that you are entitled to everything that makes the king, king
And the thing about your king is that he is:
And the thing about your king is that he is:
omnipotent
omnicient
omnipresent
He is everything
ASSIGNMENT
But the thing is that you cannot be bought into the family without an assignment
i mean even my kids have assignments.
but that the moment they were born that they were sealed with an assignment
and the same is with your father, but the moment that you were born your sealed with an assignment
but what is that assignment?
what is your assignment
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
matt 28:18-20
this verse spelled it out
see it was in 18 that all power was given to Jesus
both heaven and earth
He was given ALL power in both kingdoms
thats huge, did you catch it
see here is were the ultimate validation of Jesus’ divine authority takes place
and then something even bigger happened here and when we read it most people miss it
And then in 19 is where he SENT each of them
he sent man on their assignment
and it wasn’t a random assignment at all
because God had a plan and Jesus was reseting that plan
See he sent his disciples to teach all the nations and then baptize them all in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
See it is also in this scripture that that same authority and power is extended to his disciples
And two the process, the action of reproduction was put into play
And then 20 kind of emphasizes the assignment
so do you understand what your assignment really is?
See Jesus then spent 3 long years training the disciples to step into their assignment
He taught them what His father taught him
I believe that he said that he never did anything that he didn’t see his Father do
and what was his command to us
to teach, equip, apply and mentor
ie. apostolic centers and training centers rising up in this era
we are to spend time with the Father
Learning from the HS
And doing what we see our father do
And doing so we are to train the next generation so that the good news can be spread, because we cannot do it alone
and the best thing about it is that he has equipped us with everything that we need to complete the assignment
see as the ambassador to a government really has nothing to worry about
the government that that ambassador represents takes care of them
they give them a car, they give them an house, they basically give them everything that they need so that they can be successful to complete the assignment
and the same is with you
the government will give you and has given you everything that you need to complete the assignment that is before you
See gods intention for the creation of mans was to create a family to share in his governmental authority
See it was in Genesis in which He gave man dominion
He created man with a dominion mandate
and it was the first adam that surrendered that authority and dominion to another king
and within the years he sent a second adam to reset his plan in motion
see one thing that we have to understand is that Jesus initial plan was not to just forgive the world of its sins, or to forgive man for their sins
yes that was one of the benefits of the plan that God had
But his assignment was to reset his fathers plan
to reintroduce the kingdom of God to the earth
his first message was repent for the kingdom of heaven is here
see we have got it twisted and we began to believe that Jesus’ purpose was specifically for us
and we began to believe that Jesus was the inheritance that we were waiting for
see somewhere we got it wrong
but that his purpose or assignment was that of a greater plan
see it was when Jesus hit the scene that the kingdom was established on earth
it had physically hit the earth
and when the kingdom hit the earth, Jesus took 3 years to teach the disciples to be business owners
He taught them how to run the business successfully
He gave them an assignment to follow in his foot steps as he didn’t do anything that he didn’t see his father do
see his purpose for this was to teach us how to run the family business
how to do the cost sheets and analyze the data sheets
so that when he was gone that we could take over and run a successful business
see Jesus was always about business
better put, his fathers business
And now it is out turn
it is our job
to be about our fathers business
to teach, equip, apply and mentor
we teach so another is able to do the same
to teach another so that the good news is spread
so that the kingdom of heaven can spread upon the earth
And we cannot do it alone
We are a body with many members
so in , Jesus’ validation of authority took place
and then he extended that authority to US
see it was when He did all the acquisitions to get us prepared to run the business
illustration/example of businesses and their preparing a successor
and it was when he died on the cross that he handed over the keys to the family business
see it was at this point that his assignment became ours
Our assignment became to reintroduce the kingdom of heaven to earth
and that is what we are supposed to be doing
as ambassadors of the kingdom our one and only job is to make sure that the king is happy
and the kings intention is always to extend his rule into other territories
the kingdom of heaven is the same, and Gods intention was/is to extend his heavenly authority onto earth
and today that is our job
we have been intrusted with the health and welfare of the family business
we are ti make sure that all know and follow the mighty name of Jesus
Our job it to reintroduce the kingdom of heaven to earth
this responsibility does fall on one alone
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
we all play a part and are equally responsible for the reintroduction of the kingdom
The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
