KINGDOM EXPLOSION
THE GOVERNMENT OF JESUS CHRIST

Ambassador
13/7/10

“How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; his dominion endures from generation to generation.”
Daniel 4:3




Our Declaration
I stand to acclaim, The King of all Glory—Christ Jesus His Name
I ask you, King Jesus, Fulfil your kingdom desire,
Ignite me and make me a chariot of Fire
Come ride on my life and I will be a chariot of Fire.



“Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus” (Acts 4:29).


“Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendour and the majesty, for everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to You. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.” (1 Chronicles 29:11)





The Emperor of the Kingdom

Jesus holds the ultimate governmental function and therefore commands not only our personal, but also our corporate loyalty. Jesus rules an Empire of both a loving, but also of a holy and fearsome God. For the apostle Paul, it is clear that the Kingdom, not just the church, is what he is called to proclaim. Paul described his ministry partners specifically not as co-workers for the church, but as “my fellow workers for the Kingdom of God” (Col 4:11).

Paul preaches the Kingdom, the rule of Jesus, and those that repent to this apostolic message are added by the father to the Kingdom, and these are exactly those with whom Jesus builds his church! “The father has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of the Son” (Col 1:13). It is God the father who gives those that are saved “the passport of the Empire”; he issues the naturalization, the official right to be legal citizens in the Empire of his son, Jesus.

Prayer 1

Pray that the EMPEROR will DECREE and expand HIS KINGDOM in the COMMUNITY.







The Storm of the Kingdom

The Kingdom of God moves without fear. As empires greatly rise above kingdoms - they are essentially an ever-expanding Kingdom of kingdoms - emperors are a different breed than kings. The expansion of the Empire of God is a dynamic process: “Of the increase of his government
will be no end” (Isa 9:7). In other words: just like a snowball can grow into an avalanche, the expansion of the empire of God will begin small and seemingly insignificant, but will be impossible to stop.The Kingdom starts with the arrival of the king. Jesus says, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness” (Mt 6:33). Rather than making faith a purely private issue, Jesus makes it a deeply political one—the Greek word dikaiosyne most Bibles translate with “righteousness” was in the original Greek language of the days of Jesus a political term meaning “state law”; described the constitution, the law that either God gave to humans, 0r later, a country gave itself. Jesus makes it abundantly clear of Moses was not only the bedrock of the Old Testament theocracy, rule of God, but is also foundational and valid in his Kingdom: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the prophets; I have not come to abolish them but fulfill them (Mt 5:17).

Paul writes it like this: “The Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking,
but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Rom 14:17). The
Greek word for righteousness is, again, dikaosyne. It is possible to translate it therefore like this: “The Kingdom of God happens where people align themselves into the state law of God, his constitution, in peace and joy”.

Prayer 2
Pray that God’s Name may be made HOLY in the COMMUNITY.


The Political Function of the Kingdom

The Empire is First—the Church is second. Jesus spoke of the Kingdom 69 times, and only twice/thrice of the church, putting the relationship between Empire and Church clearly into perspective. Without humans expressing their loyalty to their King Jesus, the Empire of God has no human members. Only after duly establishing the fact that Jesus was bringing in the Empire did he speak of his intentions “to build my ekklesia”. Rather than a religious meaning, which church history later attached to it, the Greek word ekklesia meant “legal assembly” (Acts 19:39), describing a body of people with governmental authority, equivalent to a parliament or senate.

It describes the political function of the citizens of the Empire of God, and it is its main recruitment and advancement agency. Ekklesia is the spearhead of the rule of God in the sense that the domain of his rule is now entering specifically the domain of darkness (Col 1:13), liberating humans from darkness (Mt 16:18) and transferring them into the Kingdom of Jesus.


Prayer 3

Pray that the Politics of Jesus will receive Great Prestige in the Community.







The Monarchy of the Kingdom
A king is a supreme ruler. An absolute monarchy, the undivided rule of a single person, is not a form of government familiar to most of us. Most people are more aware of the personal profiles of princes and princesses, along with exposés of their errors and excesses, than they are of the monarchy itself.
Fewer still are aware that the concept of a monarchy is to be found in the New Testament and that it has a direct connection to the future of mankind. In Matthew 6:9-13 Jesus Christ gave a model for people who wish to learn how to pray effectively. Twice in this prayer outline Jesus refers to the Kingdom of God. First is a plea for that kingdom to "come"; then follows an acknowledgment that God indeed has a kingdom. When we acknowledge that God has a kingdom, we also acknowledge that He is royalty. Jesus would not deny being Messiah King (John 18:33-37). When Pilate questioned Him about His kingship, Christ replied, "For this cause I was born" (verse 37).
Out of ten healed lepers only one came back and thanked Jesus—too many Christians Jesus is the King in theory, but not in practice. Many Christians have been taught the theory that Jesus is their King but not now, not here, not really, and not in any way that counts today! Many Christians may worship the throne, but not the King himself. This makes Jesus a King only in theory but a King in exile—Good people are often admired but seldom rule and this is how many treat Jesus

Prayer 4

Pray that the Kingship of Jesus may be REALIZED in the community and that religion may be washed out of the community.



Kingdom Night and Day

Night and Day the Kingdom of God continues to influence the earth. God will not stop because HE does not want anyone to perish.

And he said, “Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast the seed upon the earth, and should sleep and rise up night and day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth bears fruit of itself, first the blade, then an ear, then full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is produced, immediately he sends the sickle, for the harvest is come.” Mark 4:26-29

We do not understand the mysterious work of the kingdom in the hearts of men and women. “...For as heaven is higher than the earth, My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8-9)

Then those who feared the Lord spoke with each other and the Lord
listened to what they said. In His presence a scroll of remembrance was written to record the names of those who feared Him and loved to think of Him. Malachi 3:16

Prayer 5

Pray that the community may know God—the ONLY TRUE GOD
