Session 15 Matthew 6:9-14 Focus vs 10
Introduction In the previous session, we concluded that understanding of the “prior” role of establishing of the kingdom and its theology will enable the practitioner (princes/princesses) of the kingdom dominion, to effectively navigate their way in the world that is hostile, indifferent about the King and His kingdom on earth. Today, we are going to evaluate the purpose of the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth. The true King was not coming to compete with other kingdoms on earth although the opposing kingdoms see it as such. But the purpose was to eliminate them since they were not useful to the total deliverance of mankind. They were or are not carrying out the will of God on earth. Hence, the necessity of establishing the perfect kingdom – Daniel 2:44 was written long before the birth of the true King of the kingdom of God “but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.”
The Purpose of the establishment of the kingdom on earth – Vs 10b, Dan. 2:44, 4:3,34,6:26, 7:14,27, Micah 4:7, Matt. 26:41, Luke1: 32 &33, Acts 21:14 It is unquestionable that the express purpose of the establishment of the kingdom was that the will of the God the Father would be carried out “done”, perpetuated, enforced, practiced or engineered for the glory of the King and benefit of humanity whom God created to enjoy Him as the Father of all on earth.
a. A commitment to do the will of the King based on understanding is a must and unalterable by the representative of the kingdom. b. Knowing or understanding, we have no choice but to be so engaged. c. The earth must experience (enjoy) the benefit of the kingdom
d. It must and will be done through the crown princes/princesses on earth.
Examination of key traits of the King revealed for us: Phil. 2:5-8, Matt. 11:29-30, John 13:12-16, 1 Peter 2:21, 1 John 2:6, Col. 1:15, Matt. 26:39, John 10:18, Heb. 5:8, 12:2
The Crown-Princes/Princesses must follow the Pattern of the King’s demonstrated life style on earth because the operation must be experienced on earth.
Assignment: Design a kingdom-centered life based on today session and compare it with what is obtainable in the world of Christianity (individuals) churches or para-church organizations today. Be critical, evaluative and focus on where you are and determine to follow the King at all cost. Be on the high and priority side of what He says.
Be prepared to publish or discuss your conclusion based on your experience in the light of the revelation.
