The Kingdom Is His
If a monarch like Queen Elizabeth II in our modern day is remembered and respected in such a manner, how much more our God who is the King of all kings?
/ 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer... 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts.
They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.

/ I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”---
Ps 122:1/

I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.
If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.---

/ I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know ... *his incomparably great power for us who believe*.
That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, *far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.*
--- Eph 1:18-21/

--- Exo 33:19/
/ The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.

IV.
Now And Forever, Amen
Are we truly able to say an emphatic AMEN when we pray according to the Lord’s prayer?
Do we truly commit ourselves to agree with what is prayed, and wholeheartedly acknowledge the truths behind each petition we are making?
1.
When you pray “our Father in heaven”, do you believe that Jesus Christ is your personal Saviour, and that God is your loving Father through Jesus, and that every Christian is your brother and sister in God’s family?
2. When you pray “Hallowed be Your name,” is fear and reverence to God your controlling purpose in life, regardless of the cost or outcome?
Do you trust God completely, and obey Him unreservedly?
3. When you pray “Your kingdom, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven,” are you obeying God’s will and command to love God and to love others wholeheartedly?
Are you wearing your faith on your sleeve and living it out consistently in the world?
4. When we pray “Give us this day our daily bread,” will you acknowledge your daily dependence on God in your life?
5.
When we pray “Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us,” have you asked God to forgive you of the sins you have committed?
Have you extended forgiving mercy to others who have offended you, and to not bear grudges or cherish bitterness in your heart towards them?
6.
When we pray “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil”, have you put on the full armour of God to stand against the devil’s schemes to tempt you away from God? Are you leaning on the Lord for strength to overcome temptation?
