“We are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken” Hebrews 12:28
Hab 2:14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. [cf Isa 11:9]
God has JURISDICTION
Jesus has JURISDICTION
The Holy Spirit has JURISDICTION
AS CITIZENS of HEAVEN
WE DISPLAY HIS JURISDICTION on EARTH
The Kingdom of God is HERE TO STAY
God took the initiative to establish HIS KINGDOM on earth—a
Work of design and creation for which HE assumed full responsibility!
Therefore HE will finish HIS WORK—
He has promised that HIS KINGDOM will always increase
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and
His dominion endures through all generations—
The kingdom of God is the essence of the Eternal Plan of God
It is an unshakable kingdom and the kingdom is for US!
The Kingdom of God is the rule of God demonstrated!
The rule of God is NEVER in a Crisis—
AS CITIZENS of HEAVEN
WE DISPLAY HIS JURISDICTION on EARTH
The Church exists for the Kingdom and is the primary
Agent of the Kingdom’s advance in the earth—
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Mt 28:18-20
God’s Kingdom is the conclusion of history
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

The Superiority of Jesus Christ
"and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church," Ephesians 1:19-22
"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" John 8:58
Love is the driving force of Jesus
Jesus is the love of the Father
The Father is the expression of the heart of Jesus
No one surpasses Jesus
Jesus is the Name above all Names
Jesus delights in mercy and His Gospel will
Be carried to the ends of the earth
The Superiority of Jesus can never be destroyed
His purpose is found in the heart of the FATHER
He was obedient unto death but
God raised Him from the Dead
He now lives in the hearts of His people
So that they can spread the love of His FATHER
The Superiority of Jesus can never be destroyed
His purpose is found in the heart of the FATHER
He was obedient unto death but
God raised Him from the Dead
Jesus delights in mercy and His Gospel will
Be carried to the ends of the earth
"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison… who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand—with angels, authorities, and powers in submission to him." 1 Peter 3:18-19, 22

The Mirror of deception
You live in the midst of deception; in their deceit they refuse to acknowledge me," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 9:6
It is a sad fact that so many do not want Jesus around
It is a sad fact that so many are trying to overthrow the Lord Jesus Christ
The amount of anti-biblical movies that have being released has increased tremendously
In the 21st century many are trying to dethrone the Lord Jesus Christ
However, Jesus cannot be stopped and that is why
Everything is thrown against Him but we must never
Forget that Jesus was already tempted in the wilderness
He has overcome the world; He is victorious
Jesus lives on; His kingdom endures forever
Jesus will never be DETHRONED
The battle to dethrone Jesus will continue
Many critics would like him to be married so
That his status could be robbed and Jesus
Can be like all the others; Critics don’t also want
Him to be God because they figure that it is
Impossible for a man like Jesus to be God…
Many critics promote theories that Jesus is
A product of Egyptian mythology--
There number one aim is to try and dethrone JESUS
God is not MOCKED
The criticism allows us all to speak about Jesus and
This gives us an opportunity to share the love of Jesus with them
Jesus was very patient with the Pharisees and the Sadducees
Until the time came for HIM to speak out against them--
As citizens of Heaven we must also speak out against our critics
Movies like Zeitgeist and the Arrivals have only one aim in mind and
That is to try and dethrone the Lord Jesus Christ
Jesus did give us a warning,” Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew 24:4
Today many men want to deceive you and they are using any means necessary
The Kingdom of God is PEACE in this world
“Peace I leave you; My peace I give you. I do
not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts
be troubled and do not be afraid (John 14:27)
The Kingdom of God is a FEARLESS KINGDOM
The Kingdom of God has no respect for ‘trouble’
The Kingdom of God CONQUERS trouble
“Everything is possible for him who believes.” (Mark 9:23b)
Kingdom Faith OVERCOMES the world
It is a sad fact that so many do not want Jesus around
It is a sad fact that so many are trying to overthrow the Lord Jesus Christ
The amount of anti-biblical movies that have being released has increased tremendously
The Kingdom of God is VITAL for the 21st century
Jesus is the King of the Kingdom and
The Purpose of the KING STANDS FOREVER

Wolves and human methods
The Fruit of the Wolf
Acts 20:29-30
They made a decision to build their flock by using human methods
They were no longer Spirit led
Some of the sheep were able to see it, but most didn’t
In the 21st century sheep do not want to hear sound doctrine
There are a lot of deceivers in the world who are trying to get you to
Buy their product whether it is a politician;
A particular brand of washing powders or a religion etc
Wolves are savages— heavy or burdensome
They weigh people down with their demands rather
Than lifting people up by helping to carry their burdens
Wolves rise up— this means they put themselves above others
Acting as though they are in some way superior to those around them
Wolves want people to be dependent on them—not the Lord
They therefore work toward that aim
The church building is a battlefield for wolves
Their competition is severe—
When their pact grows too big
They start to kill each other [gossip]—
Wolves are only concerned about their popularity
Sadly, they also destroy many innocent lives
Wolves enjoy controlling women
A wolf wants his pact to be the greatest
The teaching of a wolf focuses on himself
A wolf neglects the power of Jesus—
A wolf focuses on his own power of persuasion
God gives us the strength and
The clarity to identify the wolves in the church—
The wolves in the church building should not intimate us
When we enter the territory of a wolf
We must enter with the power of Jesus Christ—
Wolves also use the name of Jesus
Therefore, it is vital that we enter the battlefield of the wolves
With the power of the Holy Spirit
The teaching of a wolf focuses on himself
A wolf neglects the power of Jesus—
A wolf focuses on his own power of persuasion
Let us continue to go against the grind… lives are at stake

Sometimes we feel that God is unfair
If there is no true love for God—then
Ceremonies have no meaning
Jesus knew moments of darkness in his life
We will have moment of darkness in our life
Darkness means ‘growth’—
In Garden of Gethsemane Jesus realised
The awful type of death that he would suffer—
He knew that the physical pain would be terrible
He would carry our ‘sins while he was on that cross’
In the Garden, he prayed to his Father. He said, ‘If it is possible, do not let me suffer this death.’ (Luke 22:41-46.)
He said, ‘My God, my God, why have you left me alone?’ (Mark 15:34.) How awful to feel that God is no longer near you—
How terrible not to know why he is leaving you alone—
Believers today, at some time will have periods of spiritual darkness
They will display clouds of doubt—
Sometime they will experience an eclipse
The Bible states, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day’ for darkness is as light to you. Psalm 139:11-12
Many saints never doubt that God is real
However many saints at times doubt HIS SOVEREIGNTY
Many at times feel that God is unfair—
They feel that God has not worked in
The way that they hoped or planned
Jeremiah in the Bible was concentrating on the people’s ‘return’ to God
However, God said to him, ‘If you return, then you can serve me’ (15:4)—
Jeremiah was full of pain and despair—
Our Heavenly FATHER reminded Jeremiah about his job
Jeremiah must help people to change—
He must not change and become like the people (15:19b)
Jeremiah’s job was going to be very hard
But God encouraged him—
Jeremiah had doubts— He was suffering very much
Sometimes we forget what God has said to us—
We then need to read it again—and believe
Our lives may be hard
But we must trust in his promises—
They do not change (Read 1 Peter 1:4; Joshua 21:45; 23:14; 1 Kings 8:56 and Numbers 23:19.)
AT times you may not be sure that prayer is worthwhile—
But you must still pray and lay it before him—[even in anger]
Even at his worst times, Jeremiah continued to pray—
Sometimes it seemed that he only complained to God
But he continued to pray—nothing stopped him
(Jeremiah 12:1-3; 15:15; 17:14 and 20:7-12)
Jeremiah prayed clearly and in an honest way

You will get 10 different answers about the kingdom message
“And he sent them to preach the Kingdom of God,
And to heal the sick” Luke 9:2
What is God asking you to preach?
Do you want to preach prosperity?
Do you want to preach healing?
Do you want to preach ‘tongues?
Do you want to preach faith?
What do you want to preach?
If you ask 10 people what does it mean to preach the Kingdom
You will get 10 different answers; everyone wants to be right
This is why we have so much deception because many
Don’t really study Scripture; they read Scripture but don’t really study it
Yet many forget that at school (high school) they had to study…
God gave us the ‘foundation’ to adjust ourselves to study ‘information’
Many citizens of countries have never studied their constitution
This has also been a major problem with the citizens of Heaven
I meet many saints who are lazy and read the Bible casually
They jump at audio messages and Gospel DVD’s because
It is much easy than reading the word for themselves
No wonder deception is so easy to achieve
Too many live their Christian life on emotions and
Get their theology through an emotional experience
Let us study the message of the Kingdom
Because Jesus sent them to preach the Kingdom of God’
