THE VIOLENT TAKE THE KINGDOM BY FORCE
THE VIOLENT TAKE THE KINGDOM BY FORCE.
#pastorcharlestv
(By Pst Charles Eberechukwu Nwaneri)
Matthew 11:12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
The gospel is the gospel of the kingdom of heaven now amongst us. The central focus of the gospel is on Jesus Christ the saviour. The power of God is in the gospel. The power to save whoever believes the message of the gospel.
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."
[17]For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith."
GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM:
Math 4: 23) Rom1:16-18)
From the above scriptures the gospel is God's power to save
(salvation) which is DELIVERANCE, FREEDOM and VICTORY over sin, satan, sicknesses, diseases, poverty, afflictions, and all forms of devil inflicted problems and troubles etc
It is a free access to God through Christ for now and eternity. An open doors of love, peace and all round prosperity etc
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
John 10:10-11
[10]The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
[11]I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."
Jesus preached the gospel of the Kingdom:
Matthew 4:23-24
[23]And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
[24]And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them."
KNOWLEDGE OF THE KINGDOM IS FREEDOM.
Knowledge of what the gospel is, believing and recieving it in its totality is freedom and victory.
John 1:12-13
[12]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[13]Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
It is baffling how people disregard and underestimate the power of knowledge.
John 8:31-32
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
[32]And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
GOSPEL CENTRED ON CHRIST JESUS
The word of God who came in human form:
John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
KNOW + BELIEVE + RECEIVE + WORD BASED ACTIONS = FREEDOM / VICTORY
John 8:30-32
[30]As he spake these words, many believed on him.
[31]Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
[32]And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
RECEIVE THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL
In order to enjoy here on earth and hereafter the salvation fully purchase by Christ through His suffering, death and resurrection you must receive the truth of the gospel of the kingdom.
John 1:11-12
[11]He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
[12]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Mark 10:15
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."
The truth of the kingdom must be believed, received and acted upon at its face value like children do, in order to activate it's effectiveness.
The gospel and it's benefits are for people at all ages but it only works for people who believes (believers).
Romans 10:9-10
[9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[10]For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Mark 9:23
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
1 Thessalonians 2:13
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."
Luke 1:45
[45]And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord."
1 John 5:4-5
[4]For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
[5]Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
KNOWLEDGE IS NOT ENOUGH IF YOU DON'T PUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO WORK.
Wisdom is applied knowledge. For maximum profit, one must take godly actions based on the known truth of God's word. THE DOERS of the word are the violent ones who possesses their father's inheritance. There are always joy in obedience
John 13:17
If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."
Obedience to the word of God makes an individual joyful and strong as Mount Zion. (Psalm 125:1-3)
As a city built upon the Rock.
Matthew 7:24
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
The LORD grants joy to doers of His word. The same joy of the Lord remains their strength.
James 1:25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed."
To take the Kingdom by force you must take every Word of God as direct message from God to you and not from men.
1 Thessalonians 2:13
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe."
You must also acknowledge them and apply them in your life and situations.
Philemon 1:6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."
You cannot live above what you think of yourself, believe of yourself, acknowledge and speak of yourself.
Read: Philemon 1:6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus."
We are products of our thoughts, words and actions. As a man thinks, so is he.
Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee."
THOUGHTS OF CHAMPIONS
Many do not consider what they think and meditate on. One of the most powerful instruments God gave to us is the power of human thought and imagination. That is why the lord instructed us to think as champions.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
POWER OF MEDITATION
Meditating on the truth of God's word is renewing, recreative and transformative.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
1 Timothy 4:15
[15]Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all."
Psalms 1:1-3
[1]Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2]But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3]And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
PUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO WORK.
As we think right, speak right and take actions based on the truth the word of God, it brings us into the treasure house of God, where we continue to enjoy the blessings of the LORD.
John 13:17
If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."
There are always joy in doing God's biddings.
We revenge disobedience and all opposing spirits of wickedness when we obey the perfect law of liberty.
2 Corinthians 10:6
And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled."
TAKE YOUR KINGDOM BY FORCE
Matthew 11:12
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
PUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO WORK.
Think, Speak and take actions based on the truth. We are expected by God to take our heaven ordained and released (fully paid for) blessings by force, starting from the aforementioned.
We must use spiritual force because the opposing forces of wickedness are walking to and fro seeking who to destroy.
We are living in a world infected with evil and wickedness, whose aim is destruction of humanity.
Psalms 74:20
Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty."
Therefore for us to prevail, excel, prosper and fulfil God's ordained purpose which includes life in its full scale (abundance), we must resist the devil on daily basis, walk in the Spirit and remain spiritually minded. We must stand on the infallible word of God and walk in the light of God's word.
A closed mouth is a closed destiny.
We must of a necessity muster up courage and violently use all the heaven provided arsenal within our jurisdiction to launch attack on all the opposing forces of darkness to bring them into captivity to obey the word of the King of Kings and LORD of lords.
We must diligently and fervently use and exercise our God given power and authority, for dominion comes by force of power.
2 Corinthians 10:3-6
[3]For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
[4](For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
[5]Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
[6]And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled."
James 4:7
[7]Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
Luke 10:19
[19]Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
Ephesians 6:10-18
[10]Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[11]Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12]For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
[13]Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[14]Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[15]And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[16]Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[17]And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[18]Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; "
MANDATE RESPONSIBILITY
It is our mandate responsibilities to take what belongs to us by force, it is our birthright, our inheritance. God is on our side as we go for what belongs to us, heavens do rule and heaven of heavens cannot support wickedness. God shall fight for us. The word of God cannot fail.
Lamentations 3:35-37
[35]To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
[36]To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
[37]Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?"
PROSECUTORS OF GOD'S WORD
Psalms 149:5-9
[5]Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
[6]Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
[7]To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
[8]To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
[9]To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
WATCHFULNESS
Luke 21:36
[36]Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."
1 Peter 4:7
But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer."
Many people pray and after never care about their conduct afterwards. Many are not surber and vigilant as a result they create opportunities for enemies of righteousness to ravage their lives. Watch your words, actions, thoughts, company, and habits. Never open the door for the enemy to come in. Look before you leap. Acknowledge God in all you do. Ask him for directions and don't lean in your own understanding. Be spiritually minded. Pray alway and be sensitive to divine directions.
Matthew 7:8
[8]For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Proverbs 3:5-8
[5]Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
[6]In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
[7]Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
[8]It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones."
THE KINGDOM OUR FATHER'S INHERITANCE
In order to to take the Kingdom by force, in other words in order to enjoy Kingdom blessings for now and in eternity we must do the needful as was instructed.
Not heeding to instructions is suicidal. Not being spiritual violent or proactive is life threatening.
THE VIOLENT TAKE IT BY FORCE.
Our birthright is all round blessings we must possess them by force, as we were commanded.
THE MOUNTAIN ZION
The Mount Zion ( people of God) abinitio are known for taking what belongs to them through God's presence and by power with them.
Obadiah 1:17
[17]But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions."
Our father's inheritance is Love, Peace, purity, power, grace, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, good health, spiritual, physical, material and financial prosperity, sound mind, freedom from sin, satan, sicknesses, diseases, and all forms of afflictions, demonic oppressions, depression and possession.
WORLD EXPECTATIONS
To whom much is given, much is expected. God, having invested much in us through Christ our Lord is expecting us to manifest his glory on earth as we shine as light.
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
He is waiting for us to manifest the beauty of heaven and shine in darkness of this present world, continually overcoming the powers of darkness and ruling and regning with him and having life in its fullness.
Moreso creatures of God are also waiting for our manifestations, and we cannot afford to fail or disappoint our generation.
Romans 8:19
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God."
THE TIME IS NOW
Procrastination is the thief of time, now is the time of salvation. Go for it and possess the kingdom, your birthright in God.
Heaven is waiting for you to do the needful. To him that believes all things are possible. The gospel bell is ringing. It is efficacious and powerful to save whosoever shall believe and call on the name of the Lord and master Jesus. The Word of promises are true, sure and steadfast. Taste and see. Believe the gospel for open doors of positivity and possibilities. It's not late yet. A new chapter is about to be opened for you as you launch out to take God's paid and given Kingdom blessings. Chapter of great and greater glory. Just a little more steps further in God's given direction. Never give up on yourself for God has not given up on you.
Don't give up on your dreams, don't give up on your visions. Never give up on your kingdom blessings.
Never give anybody authority over your life. To talk you out of God's will and heaven ordained purpose for your life. A fulfilling life of abundance and glory is your birthright under God.
You are not a second class citizen, God created you in His image to walk, work and reign with Him on earth.
Never leave your position in God for anything, they are not worth it.
The grace of God is abundantly available for you to access.
You and God as partners makes an unbeatable team. You are now positioned to possess your kingdom by force. The time is NOW! Go For It!
