Life According to Kingdom Rule
Whether we know it or not, God’s Kingdom rules over all. What does that mean, glad you asked. From heaven the Lord God has control over certain things directly and other things indirectly. There are rules on earth that God is not allowed to violate, set in motion by Himself. God gave dominion on the earth to mankind, so He has bound His own hand in helping us in some ways directly. We must apply His kingdom rules to conquer earthly principles, and laws that go against the truth. We must incorporate faith to believe through our difficulties and trails of life. The Lord always responds to His word spoken from the lips of faith. God must go around the world’s system, set up by Satan, to get us help. Living a lifestyle of faith in God, puts us on a level to live above the evil in this world. So the Lord can indirectly help us by a lifestyle which avoids unnecessary troubles, and unwanted circumstances. The other perspective of God ruling all is He keeps the cycle and stability of life consistent. All things are held together by the power of Christ (Colossians 1:17). The stars of heaven, the moon and sun in the sky are under His orders to hold fast. The sands of the sea are under His orders to not go beyond a certain point on land. He rules everything but not our individual lives. He gave us free will and that’s where trouble was introduced into the world. We are imperfect beings prone to mess up. But we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:12-13). Since we’re in the Kingdom of God through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, let’s be all we can be and aggressively pursue life in the Kingdom.
