The Kingdom of God in the Teaching and Ministry of Jesus

 

" An introduction

 

The central message of Jesus Christ was the message of " the Kingdom

of God " or " the Kingdom of Heaven " . This message, when understood,

is the most relevant message for the needs of humanity. It is a

highly attractive message, and will produce the greatest results of

any message one could give. This message must once again become the

central theme of preachers and teachers in these last days.

 

When the message of the Kingdom of God is given correctly, the

results will be dramatic, just as they were for our Lord and for the

apostles of our Lord. For with the proclamation of the Kingdom comes

the power of the Kingdom. Paul declared in 1 Corinthians 4:20 " for

the Kingdom of God is not in word but in power " . Anyone who dares to

produce theological tones on the subject of the Kingdom of God

without demonstrating something of the reality the power of the

Kingdom has missed the mark and does not know as they ought to know.

The Kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

 

John the Baptist Preached the Message of the Kingdom

 

" In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of

Judea, and saying, " Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. "

(Matthew 3:1,2).

 

Jesus Preached the Message of the Kingdom

 

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, " Repent, for the

kingdom of heaven is at hand. " (Matthew 4:17).

 

" And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues,

preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of

sicknesses and all kinds of diseases among the people. Then His fame

went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people

who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who

were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed

them. " (Matthew 4:23,24).

 

Many other references could be given from the gospels demonstrating

that this was in fact the principal message of Jesus Christ. Many of

Jesus' parables were about the Kingdom. He gave the secrets of the

Kingdom to his apostles.

 

Paul preached the Kingdom

 

" And indeed, now I know that you all, among whom I have gone

preaching the kingdom of God, will see my face no more. " (Acts

20:25).

 

Jesus called Men to preach the kingdom

 

" Jesus said to him, 'Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go

and preach the kingdom of God.' " (Luke 9:60)

 

Jesus Predicted the Continued Preaching of 'This Gospel of the

Kingdom' until His Second Coming

 

" And this gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as

a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come. " (Matthew

24:14).

 

Not only do we have Jesus and Paul as examples in this matter of

preaching the Kingdom. We have the assurance from Jesus' own lips

that this message of the kingdom should be preached 'as a witness'

or 'with demonstration' to all the world. This is the main task we

the church have.

 

What is the Kingdom of God?

 

Some view the Kingdom of God as an alternative term for " heaven " ,

but Jesus taught that it could be in our midst on earth, and come to

us now through His ministry - for example - the ministry of casting

out demons by the Spirit of God (Matthew 12:28). When Jesus spoke of

entering the Kingdom he was not merely saying " going to heaven when

you die " . He was talking about entering into the Kingdom life here

and now. This includes heaven later on, and whatever plans God may

have for us on the new earth, but it is far more than that. The

Kingdom of Heaven is not about " pie in the sky when you die " .

 

The Kingdom of God is the place where Jesus is King. It is a

spiritual, invisible kingdom which has made its presence felt to a

degree in the affairs of this earth, but only to a limited extent.

It is not confined to a particular geographical location, nor to a

particular religious organisation. The Kingdom is truly present in a

place to the extent that Christ is honored as Lord and his will done

there.

 

There is an opposing kingdom at work. Jesus spoke of Satan's kingdom

(Matthew 12:26). The Scripture declares that " the whole world lies

under the sway of the evil one " (1 John 5:19). Satan is called " the

god of this age " (2 Corinthians 4:4), " the prince of the power of

the air " and " the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience "

(Ephesians 2:2). Satan, operating through a vast hierarchical

network of fallen angels, evil spirits or demons as they are

variously known, exercises a stupendous influence on the hearts and

lives of men, women, boys and girls. The existence of Satan's

kingdom accounts for the hatred, the wars, the stupidity and

selfishness of mankind, the existence of false religions and

philosophies and the presence of every kind of perversion and

deception on the face of the earth. Satanic influence is very

effective because it operates in the background, and is generally

not openly displayed. It is almost always covered under another name

or philosophy.

 

The kingdom of God is in perpetual conflict with the spiritual

kingdom of Satan. These are the two spiritual kingdoms which

dominate the affairs of mankind and influence the lives of

multitudes. They are totally opposite in nature. There is no third

kingdom. The kingdom of God only advances through the destruction of

the works and influence of the devil.

 

What are the results of the Kingdom?

 

Paul said, " The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but

righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. " (Romans 14:17).

That is to say, God's kingdom in someone's heart will produce a

state of righteousness before God, and the peace and joy of God will

be known by that person. If people only understood and believed

this, then they would make every effort to welcome the Kingdom of

God into their lives, instead of looking in all the wrong places for

the happiness and fulfilment they desire. This comment applies to

Christians as well as unbelievers.

 

When Philip the evangelist preached Christ in Samaria, " there was

great joy in the city " (Acts 8:8). Today we need such a

manifestation of the Kingdom of God in our cities. The message of

the Kingdom of God applies not only at the individual level, but

also at every corporate level. The key to it is the kind of faith

that recognises and esteems Jesus Christ as His presence above all

else. Such faith esteems the Word of Christ above all other

authorities, influences or suggestions. The result in every

community is the practice of justice, mercy, love, faithfulness,

favor and blessing. These are exactly the things that people in the

world long for. Because the church has largely failed to demonstrate

and to preach these things of the Kingdom people have been willing

to look for them in other directions. Satan has thus been able to

capture the hearts and minds of men with all kinds of false

movements and philosophies . . . .

 

Divine Healing is a Sign of the Kingdom

 

When God made Adam and Eve, no sickness was present. Sickness is a

breakdown in the created order. When the body is no longer in divine

order, sickness is the result. However, when the Kingdom of God

manifests in a person's body, divine healing and health is the

result. Every divine healing done through the power of the Holy

Spirit is a manifestation of the Kingdom of God.

 

It is a matter of record that many, if not most, of the healings

done by Jesus were done for those who were oppressed by the devil

(Acts 10:38). In reality, most sickness is caused by demons - either

directly or indirectly. Because large portions of the church have

been ineffective in dealing with demons, there has been a

corresponding ineffectiveness in dealing with sickness in the name

of Jesus. Sickness represents the kingdom of satan in a person's

body. When sickness is driven out in the name of Jesus, the Kingdom

of God advances. These healings are done by the power of the Holy

Spirit. The Holy Spirit moves in with his power when we really

believe and operate in faith. This faith is the gift of God - it

comes through the recognition of Jesus, the reality of God's

Kingdom, and through personal relationship with the Godhead.

 

Since physical healing is something that people can see in the

natural realm, it is therefore also a sign of the Kingdom of God. It

is a biblical tool for evangelism. Divine healing accompanied Jesus

constantly as he preached and taught about the Kingdom. This was not

only done as authentication of his Messiahship (Matthew 11:4-6), but

also as a demonstration of the truth of the message of the Kingdom

of God. Divine healings were also done because of the Lord's

compassion (Matthew 8:1-4), and His desire to destroy the works of

the devil (1 John 3:8) and to do the will of God in all things. All

these considerations relate to the message of the Kingdom of God.

 

What is the Fruit of the Kingdom?

 

If the Kingdom of God means God's effective rulership in things,

then what is the fruit of the Kingdom? The fruit of God's Kingdom

includes every blessing man can enjoy. True justice in human

affairs, love in human relationships, the absence of tormenting

fear, as well as the manifestation of all of the fruit of the Holy

Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23 are just some of the fruits.

Spiritual revival is the result of a large scale penetration of the

Kingdom message and power in a society.

 

In addition to these spiritual and social blessings, the penetration

of God's Kingdom will bring prosperity and success in natural

affairs. Sin is extremely expensive to any people or nation. Just

the use of drugs alone costs America more than 100 billion dollars

per year. The cost of laziness, dishonesty in any society is beyond

the power of any man to calculate in dollar terms. The penetration

of the message of the kingdom progressively removes these factors.

To the extent that the Kingdom manifests, people begin work in

harmony with respect one for another. No one cheats or steals, or

behaves foolishly. More people apply kingdom principles such as

diligence, perseverance, faith and vision, resulting in greater

prosperity and success.

 

All this is fine as long as people remain poor in spirit, thankful

towards God and dependent upon God. The temptation to renounce the

effective Lordship of the King and get into pride when all seems to

be going well is well known in the history both of Israel and of

many Christian nations. It always has serious consequences in the

end. We are called to seek God when things are going well, as well

as in times of trial.

 

Remove sin, and God's blessing comes - even in ways that are

unusual. God wants to bless families, individuals, churches and

nations. Satan seeks to weaken all of the above, so that he can

enslave, destroy, mock and torment. The good news is that God has

not left us helpless against Satan and his powers. We have the Word

of God himself, the power of His Spirit, and the authority of the

name of Jesus. However, all of these must be understood, received

and applied in our daily lives for us to reap the benefits.

 

Through the Casting out of Demons the Kingdom of God Advances

 

The gospels reveal that Jesus spent much time casting out demons.

Some foolish theologians feel this is basically irrelevant to

Christian ministry today, but in doing so, they reveal their

spiritual ignorance. In the matter of casting out demons, God has

hidden these things from the wise and learned but revealed them to

babes (Luke 10:17-21). The things of the Kingdom are often missed by

theologians with doctorate degrees, while " unschooled and ignorant "

men, women, and even children not only know them, but also

effectively apply them. Jesus said to his disciples who wanted to

know who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven, that unless they

became as little children they would not even enter the Kingdom of

Heaven. This is a very relevant word for many present-day leaders of

Christian denominations to whom the significance of this ministry of

deliverance is hidden, just as Jesus said it would be from the " wise

and prudent " . They may have elaborate theological arguments to

defend their positions of spiritual powerlessness. However, on the

day of judgement we will see whose word will stand - theirs or the

Lords. The Kingdom belongs to the " poor in spirit " (Matthew 5:3).

 

The reality is that the church has been subjected to a demonic

invasion which has robbed it of most of the blessings of the

Kingdom. These went on for centuries, but now, in these last days

before the return of Christ, God is restoring the knowledge of the

truth as contained in the Scriptures so that he might have a bride

that is worthy of His name.

 

The Kingdom of God is not the same as the Church. There are churches

where Satan has a large measure of effective control. The will of

God is not done in these churches. This is evidenced not only by

false doctrine, but also by a lack of love and the presence of all

kinds of relational and personal sin. The Kingdom of God message

tells us to bow the knee to Jesus and get the sin out of our lives.

The presence of sickness in so many Christians is again evidence

that the message of the Kingdom of God concerning divine healing has

not been preached and demonstrated as it ought to be. Sin has opened

the door to demonic oppression, and unbelief has held the church in

bondage. The lack of true anointing in many churches is another

proof that the church and the Kingdom are not the same. "
