KINGDOM CULTURE

Christianity is a non- democratic system of government, a culture of heaven, introduced on earth by Jesus Christ. Democracy is the power of the people invested in individuals. In a democratic system of government like in some denominations the people decide those to serve them.

So many Churches are into this kind of government in direct oposition to God’s kingdom system of government. You can not copy someone system and expect to get him perfectly, its either you over do it or can’t get there. Moreover, any system you copy colonizes you into being answerable to the source.

Christianity is a type of a monarchy.A monarch is a system of government where the power of ruler-ship is invested in a family. God is king of the universe.
His word, put in flesh, is the ruler of the worlds. His children rule over a domain called earth, not independantly, but as an
extension of the heavely kingdom of God. Therefore Christianity is all about relationship of the believer with God his father, his brother Jesus and the Holy Spirit his comforter, teacher, sustainer, and source of inspiration.

Christianity is a culture of heaven’s kingdom on earth and Jesus is the first born that introduced the culture in a visible form. It is not a religion of the mind but a faith of the heart.

In an earthly Kingdom, the king rules over people but in the kingdom of God, the children rules over territories or domains
This is because all are equal before the father. All are kings in king lives, they cannot be kings in that domain; they can only be charge of the earth. As long as the king’s children live where the considered as princes and princesses.

Except when the king dies or the prince is removed from the father’s territory and be placed on one of the colonies of the father’s kingdom where he can rule as king of that colony for the father.

You as an individual existed on earth and chosen by God in heaven to be king of the earth.

“Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight, in love. He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ in accordance with his pleasure and will: (Eph. 1:3-5 and Jeremiah 1:4).

There in heaven you were with God, ruling over nothing though heavily blessed before the creation of the earth. God had to
prepare a place for his children so that they could legally quality to be kings, God love his children and wanted them to have a taste of what it’s like to rule a kingdom. He then started creating the galaxies, the Stars, Moon, Sun, etc. And he established the earth all because in his mind he had man to enjoy and rule it.

“When I consider the heavens, the works of the fingers, the moon and the stars which thou has created…. What is man that
thou art mindful of him… Thou made him to have dominion over the works of thy hand.”(Psa. 8:3-9).

By this, God has qualified his children to be kings. “You have made them kings and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on earth” (Rev. 5:10). From the foregoing, we are not going to reign
with God in heaven when we live this world, because it is only on earth that man is qualified to be king.

It is God’s intention that we live long on earth as kings to rule the world, that is why he provided means of healing and miracles for all his children on earth who can claim it by faith.
“The Lord watches over those who fear him, tho who realy on his unfailing love. He rescues them from death and keeps them
alive in times of famine.”(Psalm 33:17-18).

Therefore, Christianity is a return to our original position kings. It is a return of the kingdom of God on earth. It is a return to
relationship with God our Father who is king over all the earth and intended that we should rule the earth for him. Repentance literally means to return.

A change of state of one’s mind. Believing or accepting Jesus Christ as the only redeemer and Saviour-who set man free from demonic and satanic domination, and took over the kingdom that was stolen from man in Eden after the fall of man which resulted to the Spiritual death, lost of relationship with the Holy Spirit and lost of jurisdiction in God’s extended kingdom on
earth. The moment you make a U-turn (repentance) and embrace Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savoiur you would be reinstated as son of God, John 1:12; Romans 8:15-17.

In an earthly kingdom the people work for the king, but in the kingdom of God the king chooses his citizens, and supplies their needs as they live the kingdom life. He is responsible for them as his children, John 15:16.

All the messages of Jesus is about the kingdom of heaven returning to earth under man’s dominion, demolition of religion and restoration of relationship between God and man. The world is very much familier with the system of men’s earthly government, yet it is essentially ignorant of God’s kingdom government. This world is the visible expression of god’s invisible kingdom, and man is the visible container that carries the image and assignment of the invisible God in this visible world.
