“This gospel of the kingdom will be preached as a sign to every nation and then the end will come.”

The gospel of the kingdom is the joyous message of the advance of God’s rule of love to rescue man from oppression and misery and restore him to God’s care, God’s purpose God’s image and God’s blessing. It is a message of great love, great joy and great hope.

The gospel of he kingdom is the announcement of God’s historic and continuous intervention to restore us to Himself through the atoning sacrifice and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

It is firstly a gospel of forgiveness of sin – but it is much more. It is also the message of the restoration of our lost destiny and purpose. We who once were sons of darkness through the redemption become sons of light and sons of God.

We have a new identity a new destiny, a new nature, a new purpose and a new spirit. Identity- with Adam and his fallenness is replaced with identity with Christ and. His dominion. The curses of separation are replaced by the blessings of the Father’s house. Our relationship with the earth is altered, as now in union with the resurrected Jesus, we become agents of His love hope salvation healing and redemption on the earth. We are no longer waiting to escape the burden of the earth but we are agents of blessing to it.

This gospel of the kingdom proclaims not only that individuals can be restored to God’s purpose but also that ultimately the whole creation will be brought back to His dominion at the return of Messiah Jesus to Jerusalem.

And so the Gospel of the Kingdom must include the following elements:

• Forgiveness of sins,
• Emancipation from darkness including deliverance from dark spirits and their bondages
• Receiving the Holy Spirit the life of the resurrected Jesus, which transforms and empowers us to see the kingdom live in the kingdom and walk in the love and joy of the kingdom.
• Surrender to God’s purpose & to the leadership of the King of the Kingdom messiah and Good Shepherd Jesus
• Blessed rule of God over our spirit mind bodies and circumstances, bringing us kingdom wisdom, healing and sure supply
• Restoration of God’s image in us and our new identity as sons of God
  Commissioning to manifest God’s emancipating power to others.
• The eventual triumph of God’s kingdom over all earthly kingdoms

The kingdom of God includes not only the full restoration of man to fellowship with God but also the benign and blessed rule of God over our spirit soul body finances life and eventually over all nations. Jesus proclaimed the kingdom of God is at hand. God’s grace, power and mercy have come to lift us like Cinderellas from the ashes of our fallen-ness and into loving fellowship with him in His Father’s house. His kingdom covers every area of life,

#1 The area of the spirit

#2 The area of the soul – the mind

#3 The area of lifestyle and behavior.

Released from the bondage of separation from God’s provision our daily work becomes not only a channel of provision but also a means of serving others with our natural and spiritual gifts.

#4 The area of the body
