When we receive Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior, we became children of God (John 1:12), and God delivers us from the power of darkness and translates us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ; sanctifies us and gives us the inheritance reserved for the saints(Acts 20:32, 26:18, Colossians 1:13). Ultimately, Jesus Christ will deliver His kingdom to God, the Father, so that God will be all in all. (1 Corinthians 15:24).We are given the gospel of the kingdom to preach to the world as our assignment here on earth especially for them that God hath ordained from the foundation of the world.(Matthew 4:23, 9:35, and 24:14).
Jesus Christ is the King of kings and the High Priest in the kingdom. Believers are kings and priests to the glory of the Father (Revelation 1:5-6)
The blessings of believers are located in the kingdom. It is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the kingdom (Luke 12:32).The Lord Jesus told us in Matthew 6:33, that as we seek the kingdom of God and its righteousness first and formost, all we need are added to us. The scriptures tell us in Romans 14:17, that the kingdom of God is not meat and drinks, but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.
So as we seek righteousness: Jesus is our Righteousness in the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 1:30, 2 Corinthians 5:21); as we seek peace: Jesus is our peace in the Holy Ghost(Isaiah 9:6, Ephesians 2:14); as we seek joy: Jesus is our joy in the Holy Ghost(Jeremiah 16:15,John 1:1,14), all our needs for this life and for godliness are added to us.
Therefore Jesus Christ is the totality of kingdom of God. HE IS ALL OUR NEED . Him only we should seek always for all our needs to be met. When we come to Him, our soul and spirit will not hunger, and when we believe in Him, our soul and spirit will not thirst (John 6:35). And all our physical needs are added to us .
Will you seek Him only today to receive the bread of life (the Word of God) to satisfy your hungry soul and spirit, and to receive the rivers of living water-the Holy Spirit to satisfy the thirst of your soul and spirit. Remember yesterday’s bread and water are not enough for today. Get new bread and water every day for the nourishment of your soul and spirit.
God bless you as you do so.
