GETTING IN THE KINGDOM

Getting into the Kingdom of God

“ Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth  all that he hath and buyeth that field-Matthew 13:44”. KJV

Today, let me share with you how you could enter the Kingdom of God. Primarily, two events are connected to your getting into the Kingdom and becoming a citizen, which are entirely your responsibility. From the passage above, it’s clear what the two requirements are for you to become a citizen of the Kingdom:

• Learn of Jesus. How? By searching the Bible and learning of Him
• Sell all you own and follow Jesus. How? By leaving your sinful past life behind.

There are numerous tales of people that made money running into millions, some came into wealth from serious poverty background by luck and others through God given talents which disappeared all too quickly, and they are now living in abject poverty. Search their backgrounds and you will be amazed to find that some of them were religious people and most probably still are. They are always at the forefront of all church activities and are very well respected. Then you ask yourself. Why? The answer is very simple; most found the Kingdom of God but did not enter into it. Remember that the Kingdom of God has everything that you desire and what is required once you are in the Kingdom as a citizen is to ASK. But, some of theses people found the Kingdom, then rush to begin to enjoy the benefits which has always been the problem. They found the Kingdom, discover that the Kingdom have riches far beyond their imagination, then, they forget the second requirement; which is to sell all that they own to by the Land-the Kingdom with the treasures in it.

In John 3:5 Jesus says “Verily, Verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God”. So many people today, instead of leaving their past life behind once they found the Kingdom, become born again and would thereafter, receive the promised benefits/treasures in the field which would have been legally theirs, would rather chose to steal by remaining in sin and enjoying some of the benefits by whatever means possible. 

They have heard so many times to repent of their sins, however, blinded by their sinful lifestyle, would search and find the treasures hidden in the Kingdom, but would forget to sell their past to the cross and be born again by water and the Spirit. They would say God has blessed them. No, that is not God’s blessing, when you enjoy the treasures without been a citizen, it will soon disappear because it belongs to the legal citizens; those that have Christ in them, those that will not abide in sin, those that would not hurt their neighbor, those that would give freely to them that are in need and expect nothing in return, those that seek to serve and not to be served and worshiped as idols etc. 

Let me encourage you to join the citizens who flies on eagles wings and nothing shall by any means hurt them. Though, they may fall, they shall surely rise again with double portions like JOB of old. Their latter days shall be greater than their beginning. (Amen)

Chose to be a citizen by learning of Jesus and repenting of your sins. Talk to your local pastor today about how you could be a partaker of the joy and endless treasures in the Kingdom or email us should you need our assistance to help you get there.
