REINTRODUCTION TO THE RESTORATION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Dear Reader,  

My Scriptural Mandate is in the Book of Acts 26:17-18, “I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me”. For, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge… “ Hosea 4:6. 

THE NEED FOR THE SPIRITUAL GOVERNMENT

The number one challenge of the world today is dissatisfaction with government, particularly at this time towards the culmination of all things. Millions of citizens all over the world are rising up in protests of the governing authorities of their nations demanding transparency, fairness, honesty, equal opportunity, social justice, security, protection, and political purity. 

The level of suspicion and distrust of political leaders, local and international corporations, institutions and religious organizations add to an atmosphere of intolerance that ends in constant social unrest. Words used to describe today’s governments include corrupt, incompetent, greedy, selfish, dishonest, confused, misguided, oppressive, careless, uncompassionate, and self serving. Why? At these last days, love has continued to diminish as it was predicted by the Lord, Matthew 24:12, “And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity”. 

In recent times many governments have been the instigators of civil war among their own citizens turning the machinery of law enforcement and the military on the very people they were elected to serve and protect. The conclusion and reality of the global assessment of twenty first century governments is that the institutions that were elected to solve problems have become the problem. The result has been an ever increasing sprit of disillusionment among most citizens of nation in both developed and developing nations. In essence winning the reins of government is one thing but governing is another. 

The indisputable evidence is that people everywhere in every nation desire and search for the perfect government, one who genuinely cares for the welfare of the citizen, loves justice, protects the value of human dignity and worth, hates corruption, dedicated to protecting the spiritual values and morals and is faithful to the ideals of equality, fairness, compassion, and opportunity. This desire for the perfect government is inherent in the human spirit and is the result of the fall of mankind. 

The creation narrative in the Book of Genesis 1:26, 27, records the Creator conferring on mankind the privilege of dominion [authority, kingdom, sovereignty, rule] over earth. The word dominion - Radah, is translated as “Kingdom Governing Authority” thus giving man the first government system on the earth called THE KINGDOM OF GOD. The concept of government was created and introduced by the Creator and is defined as the institutional system that oversees the dispensing of the constitutional legal rights, privileges, protections, resources, and responsibilities of the nation in the best interest on the citizen. 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD is therefore the First heavenly Government institution of God dispensing His will and justices for mankind on earth. This is what mankind enjoyed in the Garden of Eden and lost in the fall in Genesis 3. This is the source of the unquenchable hunger and thirst in the spirit of all humans for perfect Government- a government that dispenses the standards, values, morals, nature, qualities and culture of heaven on earth expressed in the concepts of LOVE, JOY, and PEACE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. These words are the essence of The KINGDOM GOVERNMENT OF HEAVEN. 

God’s response to this loss is the restoration of The KINGDOM GOVERNMENT OF HEAVEN - “kingdom government restoring righteousness, justice and peace in the Kingdom” through the return of the Messiah King, Jesus Christ, to earth to re-establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. The following scriptures summarizes this divine program of God:

Isaiah 9:6-7… For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over His Kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of The Lord Almighty will accomplish this…

Matthew 5:3… Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is The kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:6… Blessed are those who hunger and thirst For righteousness, for they will be filled.

Romans 14:17… For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, Peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
