Mark 12:34 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” “The ‘Kingdom of God’ is not a Christian cliché; it is the lifestyle of a child of God.” Kingdom lifestyle is not just knowing about the King but “knowing the King” as our Lord and our Saviour. Those who know about Jesus are not far from the kingdom but they are not yet in the kingdom. The Kingdom of God is the victorious way of life. Jesus had an interesting conversation with one of the teachers of the Law. This unnamed lecturer came to...

1 Corinthians 4:20 “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.” “The ‘Kingdom of God’ is not a Christian cliché; it is the lifestyle of a child of God.” Kingdom Lifestyle is empowered and energized by “Kingdom Power”. Kingdom Power is the power of the Almighty God, exercised through His children on earth. Kingdom Power establishes God’s authority or His rulership on earth. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons (Matthew 10:8). Kingdom Power heals chronic disorders, wasting disease and terminal illness. Raising the dead and healing the...

Luke 17:21b “You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” “The ‘Kingdom of God’ is not a Christian cliché; it is the lifestyle of a child of God.” Kingdom lifestyle is a “mindset” that is “fearless”, “limitless” and “boundless”. Smith Wigglesworth, a British Evangelist who was known as “the Apostle of faith” said, “I am a thousand times bigger on the inside than I am on the outside”. Our perspective will shape our belief system and influence our lifestyle. Kingdom of God is not our local church, convention or...

Romans 14:17 “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” “The ‘Kingdom of God’ is not a Christian cliché; it is the lifestyle of a child of God.” There is fullness of joy in the “Kingdom of God”. Kingdom lifestyle is joyful and peaceful at all times. The joy of the Lord is contagious. It will overflow from our thoughts to our words and into our actions. Joy in the Kingdom of God is not erratic but static; it is not a feeling but a choice. “Happiness depends on happenings, but joy on Jesus”. The joy sparked...

Romans 14:17 “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of (1) righteousness and (2) peace and (3) joy in the Holy Spirit.” “The ‘Kingdom of God’ is not a Christian cliché; it is the lifestyle of a child of God.” The “Kingdom of God” is a way of life for those who believe that Jesus is Lord. This is not only a (1) “lifestyle of righteousness” with access to the divine riches but it is also a lifestyle of (2) peace and (3) joy. Peace is the stillness of the soul in the storm. It is a serenity that surpasses human understanding in the tornado...

Romans 14:17 “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” The ‘Kingdom of God’ is not a Christian cliché; it is the lifestyle of a child of God. While the Kingdom of Heaven is a physical location (Revelation 21:16), the kingdom of God is a royal, kingly and victorious way of living. The Kingdom of God is not tangible – it is not eating and drinking but a lifestyle of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Living in the kingdom lifestyle is a paradigm shift to our carnal mindset. It...

Proverbs 25:28 Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control. Indiscipline will spoil the produce, productivity and progress. Discipline is crucial to achieve goals and build character. A man and mind without disciple is described as a city whose walls are broken and have no protection. Anyone can enter, plunder and ruin the person who has no walls or boundaries. Discipline builds walls around the thinking patterns and habits not only to defend, but also protect the mind from temptation, perversion and insinuation. Indiscipline is a little fox that spoils the mind and the...

Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Achievements, growth and success can make people proud. Insecurity, control and entitlement mentality are acidic. Pride is inflated self-importance and superiority that often leads to boasting, stubbornness and blame shifting. Proud people refuse to admit that they are wrong and struggle to apologize. Pride is a little fox that will spoil the vine of marriage, ministry and money. Pride destroys purpose and vision. King Uzziah became king when he was a teenager, at the age of 16. God blessed him and he prospered in artillery, military, technology,...

Philippians 2:14-15: – “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.” Psychologists say that “grumbling” is an expression of negativity, doubt and fear. It is the way some people vent their feelings and express their dissatisfaction. However, complaining can become an ugly habit over time and unconsciously such people would become pessimistic, touchy and moody. They will not be able to appreciate or enjoy the goodness around them. God’s Word is crystal...

Colossians 3:9 Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds. People lie for various reasons. Most common reasons would be to avoid negative consequences, punishments, to impress others or to obtain rewards, favour or approval of people. Lies that are trivial and cause no harm to others are categorized as “white lies”. Lies with manipulative motives are dark deceptions. “White Lie” or “Black Lie” – lie is a lie and it is an “evil little fox” that will spoil happy homes and hearty relationships. Lying is a sin and liars do...
