Kingdom Take-Over
Daniel 2:34-35 (CEV), Daniel 2:44(GNB)
…a stone was out from a mountain—but not by human hands. The stone stuck the feet, completely shattering the iron and clay. Then the iron , the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed and blown away without a trace, like husks of wheat at threshing time. But the stone became a tremendous mountain that covered the entire earth. *At the time of those rulers the God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never end. It will never be conquered, but will completely destroy all those empires and then last for forever;
God revealed His divine plan through King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream. God’s divine plan is that His Kingdom will come, dominate, take over from every other kingdom and then fill the earth. Now, do you know that this is why Jesus came? Jesus came to establish the kingdom of God on the earth. In Mark 1:14-15, the Bible declares , “Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee , preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand : repent ye, and believe the gospel.”
The kingdom of God is the rule and reign of God and His will. It is the realm in which God operates. Wherever the will of God is prevailing, the kingdom of God is there . God’s kingdom comes as His will is been done on earth as it is in Heaven (Matt6:10).
The way God has chosen for His kingdom to come , dominate and fill the earth is through you and me. God’s kingdom dominates in our lives and through us God’s kingdom dominates and fills the earth.
By our faith in Jesus , we have received the kingdom of God into our lives. The kingdom of God is in us (Luke 17:21). Our realities have changed. We are empowered to experience the rule and reign of God and His will in every area of our lives. We now live and function in the realm that God operates. God’s kingdom is filling and taking over our lives. God is at work in us by His Spirit, making us willing and able to do His will (Philippians 2:13). God is also making all things both in and around us to conform to His will (Ephesians 1:11). Our duty is to believe in what God is doing doing in our lives and yield ourselves to Him. This is why Jesus said we must receive the kingdom of God like a little child ( Mark 10:15 ).
Faith Declaration:
The kingdom of God is dominating and taking over my life . Through me , the kingdom of God is dominating and filling the earth.
