The Kingdom Of God Promotes
There are certain things that the kingdom of God promotes and as believers we need to know them so that we promote Gods kingdom.
The first thing that will promote Gods kingdom is by putting God first. So often we promote by the exterior. For instants to promote a business we put a add in the paper, have clothing with business name on it and may put signage on vehicles and buildings. It can be all about exterior but exteriors wear and if we are trying to show what Gods Kingdom looks like without a relationship with Jesus then we won’t last.
In Colossians 1:9-14 we read where the apostle Paul was in a Roman prison writing to the Colossae church. False teachers were coaching the Colossians to worship angles and follow special rules and ceremonies. Paul writes the letter stressing that faith in Jesus is sufficent for salvation and that nothing needs to be added to Christs sacrifice on the cross.
For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
the start of thoses verses says; We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work
We see the Kingdom of God gets established through welcoming Jesus into our life which then promotes fruitfulness.
God wants our life to be fruitful but again it’s about allowing His wisdom and understanding in.
The Kingdom of God promotes being humble which leads to being teachable.
nobody likes a know it all.
The Kingdom of God promotes hope.
Rom 5:8
The New International Version Chapter 5
8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
While we were still sinners Jesus died for us. God saw great potential before we were even born. Love speaks of value.
Love speaks of purpose
His love gives us hope
How can we promote hope?
It can be in the way we speak
The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
It pays to think before talking.
Sometimes we speak by emotion first. But that isn’t all bad. Because emotion isn’t all bad, we wouldn’t be human without it.
The New International Version Chapter 8
24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
The Kingdom of God promotes waiting.
There is so much more I want to achieve and believe God has destined me to do but it’s in His timing.
The thing we can do in the mean time is prepare ourselves for what we believe God has for us.
Dose our life promote the Kingdom of God
What i’m saying is when times are not fun is the joy of the Lord still there? I’m not saying that we pretend that everythings good, I’m saying are we still grounded in the faith that Jesus still has victory in our life.
