Kingdom Man - Part1

Kingdom:

Before we understand Kingdom Man,

We should understand what Kingdom means.

The Bible is about a King and His Kingdom and a royal family of children

Kingdom does not work on majority opinion.

Kingdom does not work on Democratic opinions, 

But Kingdom works on what King purposes in His heart.

In Bible, whenever heaven is referred, it is called Kingdom of Heaven.

Gods rule is referred as Kingdom of God.

Even when the Lord taught the disciples how to pray.

our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom Come.

the 1000 years rule of Lord Jesus is called Millennial Kingdom.

Lord Jesus also talks about " My Kingdom is not of this world "

Even the inheritance of the saints is also about Kingdom.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Principles of Kingdom:

1) Kingdom has One King. - and His Word is Final. 

The decisions of the kingdom does not depend on the majority vote. It does not depend on the what all other kingdoms are doing. But what King Purposes in his heart, that will be established in the kingdom.

2) Kingdom and Kingdom people have dominion.

Genesis 1:26

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 

mamlakah - kingdom rule, sovregin power, royal power.

3) Kingdom - about coming into our lives.

too many christians became religious people.

All religions - try to reach God.

But Kingdom  is about God reaching to man.

religion is about escaping the earth,  Kingdom is about impacting and influencing the earth.

Matthew 23:13

13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.

Kingdom Man.

Now to understand what it means to be a Kingdom Man.

There is no one better than our Lord Himself who personified what it means to be a kingdom man.

His Prayer, teachings, hearings, miracles, sermons, death, resurrection, - everything is about Kingdom.

Kingdom Man 

Priorities:

Matthew 6:25-27

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one [j]cubit to his [k]stature?

Mans first priority is Basic needs

1) food, water

2) Basic groceries

3) Clothes

4) house

Many of us think these are the priorities. who is the best person to explain that these priorities are not the right ones.

your wife.

Even if you bring best of the food to home, best of the groceries, best of the clothes, bought the best of the house ,  still she is not happy.

Why you think i buy everything to her, but still some issue, whats wrong.

Matthew 6

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Lord Jesus , here estalishes that our priority is not food, water, basic necessities. but it is about Kingdom.

Mans first priority is about seeking Kingdom of God.

Seek  means  pursue, study, explore, reach out, meditate, 

What Adam has lost in the garden, you seek that.

Kingdoms definition is Sovergien rule of  the King, establishing His will, His purpose, so that the people of the Kingdom will have life that reflects the Kings values.

First : not when you are free, not when all the netflix movies are done, not when friends are not hanging out, not when boring time,  not just on sunday morning.

Every moment, seeking His Kingdom and His Rigteousness.

And coming to Righteousness.

Look the most imporatant part of righteousness is that  - your seeking about Kingdom must be about Righteousness.

A kingdom mans  Right Standing before God brings him into alignment with Kingdom LifeStyle and Kingdom Authority to reflect the Kings Values in the life that he live.s

Tonight - As a Kingdom man, our first priority is about seeking first Kingdom and HIs Righteousnes

In next sessions, we will talk about How to Seek this Kingdom.

1) Psalm 128:

The Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.
6 Yes, may you see your children’s children.

Peace be upon Israel!

The Lord bless you out of Zion.

The Kingdom mans when he seeks and pursues the Kingdom, he will know that the blessing for a man and his family is always from Zion.

The Lord will not bless out of Zion, but in the Zion.

Mount Zion, and on Mount Zion is the city Jerusalem and the Temple.

So every man, the head of the household would always be connected to Zion.

That is why in jewish history,  it is impossible to see any man that is not connected to the place of Worship.

But we see in modern history, it is always women who are mostly connected to Church.

SO what is connection between Zion and Church.

Hebrews 12:2

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels

It was the Father of the house, or man of the house who would take the family to Zion in biblical times.

But today , sadly it was women who goes and asks , can we go to Church today.

Kingdom Man - First seeks Gods Kingdom and His Righteousness.

Becoming a Father -

See when you are single, you would live as you want.But when you become father you will change atleast before your family.

Your talk before , your dress, your dealing - because you are responsible.

Kingdom Man - should be a father.

Identity

How do you know a sportsman belongs to a particular team.

Character - Truth

Influence - Daniel to Shedrach, Mesach, Abednego

Not just on Sunday -  

Monday to Saturday

1 Peter 2:9

9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light

Jesus 

The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
