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 athis 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 's
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."
