Kingdom law 1 (The End from the Beginning)
I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please (Isaiah 46:9b-10).
This is the simplicity of God. God’s kingdom is from everlasting to everlasting. Jesus’ mission on earth was to restore the Kingdom rulership of God on earth through mankind. His own life was an example of the Kingdom on earth in action. God’s kingdom (purpose) will stand. Despite Adam and Eve’s fall in the Garden of Eden, God’s desire never changed. He still wanted to rule the earth by manifesting His Kingdom through the Holy Spirit in the lives of people who were committed to Him and sold out to His lordship. God is not interested in having subjects in His Kingdom. He wants only children, royal heirs to the treasures of His domain. He wants relationship not religion. God’s Kingdom is founded on eternal principles that will never fade or pass away.
Kingdom law 2 (A Kingdom)
And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me… (Luke 22:29)
Kingdom refers to the governing influence of Heaven on earth. Jesus brought a Kingdom. A kingdom is the Governing influence of a King over his territory, impacting it with his personal will, purpose and intent, producing values, morals and a lifestyle that reflect the King’s desires and nature for his citizens.*
Kingdom law 3 (Power)
For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power (1 Corinthians 4:20)
The Word of the King is unchanging and unchangeable. A King and his word are the same, and when he speaks, his word becomes the constitution. The King will do what he promises. Citizens cannot change the constitution. The constitution contains the statutes of the Kingdom.* “Heaven and earth will pass away before my statutes change. I will move the heavens and the earth before I move my statutes” (Luke 16:17; 21:33). Our constitution says,” The word of the Lord stands forever” (1 Peter 1:25a).
Kingdom law 4 (Over all)
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the majesty, and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all (1 Chronicles 29:11).
The Kingdom of God is “the political, governmental, and territorial rule of the eternal Sovereignty of God in the realm of man’s soul and lives in which His character, nature, and laws are dominant thus releasing His power and establishing Him as Lord of all in the earth.”
For the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17).
Kingdom law 5 (Upholding it with justice)
He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing it and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this (Isaiah 9:6-7).
The gospel of the Kingdom is good news: a message sent from Our Father to all His children telling them that they can return home to the Kingdom and once again be sons and daughters in their full right. The Kingdom of God on earth is God’s rulership within the hearts and spirits of believers, and the Kingdom of heaven is when that rulership influences the human earthly environment. Jesus came to restore our position in God’s government—to make us righteous.
