About a Kingdom: You Need To Know About (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798882832154)

Scenario 1

You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.

Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a KINGDOM OF PRIESTS and a HOLY NATION.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites."

Exod.19.4-6

Scenario 2

But you are a chosen people, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 1Pet.2.9

Same purpose - different covenants
Same drive - different times

HE wanted to build a Kingdom
He decided to do it, even though it didn't succeed with many generation (or covenants), He never gave up.

He gave us a Kingdom
We turned it into a religion.
HE called us Kings and Priests.
We call ourselves members.
His agenda is different from our agenda
His perspectives are different from ours.
He sent His Son to restore the Kingdom back to us
Now we call it a religion.

Now it seems we're competing with the other religions. Not knowing they're desperately looking for what we have. And because we're blind, we're like Sheep led astray.Competing with those in need of what we have and fighting the wrong battles.

What Jesus brought back to us is different from what we're promoting.
And funnily enough, what you call something is what it is to you.

I gave you a throne, you call it a stage

I gave you a crown, you call it a turban

I gave you a scepter, you call it a stick

If you don't call what I gave you exactly what I call it, you'll abuse my gift to you.

"And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me"
Jesus of Nazareth

He gave us a Kingdom,
We call it a religion.
No wonder we can't dominate our environment, because it's only kings that dominate. Religious people rather stay in buildings (they call church) praying.

When will you get it?
Is it not written?

This Isaiah-prophesied sermon came to life in Galilee the moment Jesus started preaching. He picked up where John left off: "Change your life. God's kingdom is here." And then somewhere else too that He said, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent."
He was sent to talk about a Kingdom that we lost. We didn't lose a religion, but that's what we talk about.
We fell from glory, we got restored. Now we don't even talk about what we got
because we call what we got something else.

And I confer on you a kingdom (not a religion), just as my Father conferred one on me.

It was a Kingdom we lost not religions.

This is a tip. The iceberg is in the book.
