Kingdom of God

00:01 Praise Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Brothers and sisters, the power of Christ daily. Today is 26th of June, 2015. Wonderful morning.

00:11 Mercies are new every morning. But remember, there are people rising up this morning to face a whole lot of new problems. There are people who may be dying, their bodies may be dying and they may not know Christ.

00:19 There are people whose bodies may be dying, but those who know Christ, they have a hope. That’s why Jesus says, though you die, you shall yet live. That means we are not afraid of death because our death is only our body.

00:44 We are a spirit being. I am a spirit being, so my body dies. I know I have to go to the Lord.

00:49 My hope is in Christ to take me to him. But today there are also people waking up this morning to face a lot of financial difficulties. They can’t pay their bills.

01:01 They are unable to pay their daily bills, rentals, whatever, electricity bill. Even now it happened to me. By the time I went to Jesus Christ, I was so sick and the hospital didn’t know what to do.

01:15 I was there for days and finally they sent me home. So I went home back, waiting to die. It’s only then I went to Jesus Christ.

01:25 So when people say they have surrendered, when I say I surrendered to Christ, it’s not quite true. We actually didn’t surrender. We actually went there by default.

01:34 Default means we have nowhere else to go. We never willingly surrendered. We went there when it finished.

01:40 Everything is finished. Then only we went to Christ. It would be good if all of you.

01:45 I went to Christ by default, nowhere else to go. Then I went to Jesus Christ. If all of you, those who are hearing this, can go to Christ, just surrendering by yourself, it will be wonderful.

01:56 You will have a greater, better life than us, faster, sooner you will have a great life. Brothers and sisters, don’t wait for a time that we finally cannot do anything else. And then we went to Jesus Christ, just like I did.

02:08 Finally I did. But Jesus still loves us. He loved me and gave me new life.

02:14 Now when he gave me new life. By the time I went to Jesus Christ, I had a lot of financial difficulties already. The business that I was doing already destroyed.

02:24 House even had to be sold. We had monthly bills paying, we got difficulties. I had debt collectors knocking on the door every time calling me.

02:33 And I was trying to hide from them. Before I went to the Lord, after I went to the Lord, I faced them. Because Jesus said, look, admit when you come to Jesus Christ, you have to admit, you have to take responsibility for what I’ve done.

02:43 I have to take responsibility. Now my story is in the graceoflife.com it is not important because it only may encourage others who may have suffering and difficulty to go to Christ. But my story, but more important, you need to have your own story
with Christ why I’m doing this, why God made me do.

03:02 The power of Christ is to each of you to have your own story in Christ. And you, each of you will glorify God by telling your own story. How Jesus settled it.

03:10 When we are messed up, this is why we are doing this. And this will get you and make you great servants. When you become a great servant of Christ.

03:16 When you become a servant of Christ, a humble servant, great in the world that because we say great, great is actually not great in ourselves, it’s great is we do things for others we serve. The greatest servant of them all is the greatest. So the
great thing you do means you must be great serving.

03:35 It’s not as the others do, lording over people. We When God said, who is the greatest in heaven? The greatest servant of them all here. So you want to be the servant of them all here.

03:47 God will consider you the greatest. So to be a great servant, you must be the servant of them all here. So brothers and sisters, today I’m talking about the kingdom of God.

03:57 Why when we finally. When I finally came to our Lord Jesus Christ, we had problems paying the bills, as I was telling. And there were debt collectors and all that.

04:04 And I had to face it. Accountability. I had to account to God, account to them.

04:10 But I heard this scripture preached. It says, seek the kingdom of God. Seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added.

04:19 The scripture is in Luke 12:29, 31 says, do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, or what anxious mind. And do not have an anxious mind for all these things the nations of the world seek after. Your Father knows what you need, that
you need these things.

04:38 When I heard this, that the Father, my Father, never knows that I need these things, I was very settled, very grateful. But 31 Luke 12:31 says, Seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. So I wanted to seek the kingdom of
God.

04:54 So I started asking around, what is the kingdom of God? Where is it I want to seek? But people couldn’t answer. Then much later, I came across this. Luke 11:20 21 by Mercy of God, somebody was teaching that or preaching that or bulpit or something.

05:11 And suddenly it struck me. The kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is actually righteousness.

05:20 Peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. It’s a condition of my soul. It’s not a place.

05:24 It’s not a place because Romans 14:17 says, for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. It’s the condition of my soul.

05:40 So I must seek that the condition of my soul must have. Righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Righteousness clothes us with righteousness.

05:47 I run to Jesus every morning. Get to Jesus. Get to Jesus.

05:51 Mercy is on you. Every morning and throughout the day. Think of Jesus, and his righteousness will be on you because you want to do the right thing.

05:58 Righteousness. If his righteousness is upon me, I must want to do the right thing every day. When I do end up doing the wrong thing, even immediately, the Holy Spirit will convict me and he will.

06:10 Sorry, Lord. Sorry, Lord. Sorry, Lord.

06:12 Mercy, Lord. Mercy, Lord. And he forgives me, washes my sins and sets my path right again.

06:18 Peace. His name, many names. He got one name.

06:22 It’s called Prince of Peace. His peace will flow into you. And joy in the Holy Spirit is worshipping Jesus Christ.

06:29 Worshipping Jesus Christ and praying in the Spirit. Joy will flow back. So when you have righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, you are in the kingdom of God.

06:39 Now, where is the kingdom? In Luke 17:20 21 it says, oh, they will say this. The kingdom of God is here. See there.

06:51 See here. Luke 17:20 21 says, no, no. For indeed the kingdom of God is within you.

06:59 The kingdom of God is within us. And we have righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God is inside us.

07:07 Inside me. Inside you. Brothers and sisters, today.

07:10 Today you have the kingdom of God. Today, inside you. Now, how do I get this? How? Righteousness, peace and joy.

07:18 In addition, in Matthew 12:28, Jesus said, if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. I didn’t know the scripture at
that time, but all I knew is when Jesus set me free, I knew the evil spirit spirits have taken control of me and Jesus set me free.

07:42 I must now go and cast out evil spirits first of all from within me. Worry. Worry is a spirit.

07:49 Spirit of worry, Spirit of anger, Spirit of anxiety, anxiousness, Spirit of self, seeking all that I will cast out every day out of me in Jesus name. Get out. And I’ll Cast out all my family.

08:00 I’ll cast out whoever calls me. I’ll go and cast out. Maybe under the tree.

08:04 They’ll call me on the phone. I used to put small ads in the paper that Jesus Christ set me free. Demonic attack.

08:08 Jesus Christ set me free and he will set you free. So people will call. I just run, talk to them on the tree and under the tree or whatever, just cut it out.

08:20 There will be students or whatever, somebody, some business fellow, and they will have peace. They will have peace first, but after that they will go. Because I am not a pastor at the time, so I don’t know what’s going on.

08:30 And so people go back. I tell them, go, go, go worship God. Go worship God.

08:34 But we don’t know whether they finally followed God properly or not. I do not know. Only Jesus knows.

08:39 The Holy Spirit will follow them. We do what we are supposed to do. Now remember this today.

08:45 The Father knows. Holy Spirit has made you understand through the word of God, the Father. God, your Father.

08:53 God loves you and knows that you need all these things. 2. The Kingdom of God is within you.

09:00 No need to go running all over the place. No need to go big time pilgrimages. People collect a lot of money, end up in debts.

09:07 Going for pilgrimage to Christians. I’m talking about going on pilgrimage. God said in the Bible, we are already pilgrims on earth.

09:16 We are actually pilgrims on earth because our home is heaven. We are in a pilgrimage here on earth. So we don’t have to run to any other place for any pilgrimage.

09:26 If you want to go, good for you brother and sister. You have money, God leads you to go. You have.

09:30 But don’t borrow, don’t get into debt to go and do pilgrimage and all that is not God’s will for you and me. For indeed the kingdom of God is within you. And what is the kingdom of God? It’s a condition of my soul.

09:43 Righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And how do I know it has come upon me? I cast out evil spirits in his name. First from myself daily.

09:53 In the name of Jesus Christ, of course. Now so many years I am in Christ. So I sense it.

09:59 I will sense it. The Spirit. Holy Spirit convicts me.

10:02 Hey, you have this son? Yeah. You have some anxiety before going to sleep? Better cast everything out. You want to have peaceful sleep? Cast out spirit, anything.

10:09 No anger. Let the anger not set anger be there while you go to sleep. No, no, no.

10:15 Cast it out in Jesus name and make peace with everybody. For anybody who is offended could make a call and Say sorry, brother, or sorry, sir. Sorry.

10:24 Because they may not be born again. They may be angry with you. You’re not saying sorry for their sake.

10:29 You’re thinking for your sake. Sorry. Ask for forgiveness.

10:32 They still shout at you, but you have done your part. Jesus will settle you. Whatever you need will be settled.

10:38 And that’s what he started doing for us, Started doing for me. Oh, one by one, the debts were settled. One by one, the debt collectors no more.

10:44 One by one, things were more than enough. We are not wealthy, we live simple lives. But we have more than enough.

10:55 But we have righteousness, peace and joy. And every day there is joy in my family now. Joy.

11:03 Oh, yes. Trouble will come. Trouble goes on.

11:06 Those who know it, they know we have faced a lot of troubles. There are tragedies that have happened in my home. But yet there is a peace and joy that Jesus Christ gives.

11:15 This is what you need to get today, brothers and sisters, to know these scriptures, to begin to practice. First of all, start casting out every evil spirit out of you in the morning and then in your house, get out of my house in Jesus name. And
after a while, you sense it.

11:29 Initially, you may just do it mechanically because you do not know. Now, even the office, even the office, suddenly there’s a meeting. And then you enter the meeting and you’re trying to explain something or somebody is asking you a question and
begin to get stressed out, some issue happening immediately.

11:44 Take time. I need to go to the gents, I need to go to the ladies. Take time out because the spirit, evil spirits are moving in the office, brothers and sisters, against you because you are a child of God, the evil spirit trying to damage you.

11:57 So take time off, go to the toilet, go to the gems, go to the ladies and begin to do the breath of God. Begin to receive the breath of the living God. Cast out everything in that room where you just came out from.

12:09 Cast out anxiety, worry, confusion, fear, anger, deceitfulness, lies and deceit, hatred. Whatever is in the room, you sense it. Cast everything out in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

12:21 Cast, cast. Until you begin to have the settlement. Then when you go back to this meeting, there you’ll find the meeting different.

12:29 And this. A lot of people that I’ve taught, they all do this. And people in the office all say yes, in the congregation that we are together.

12:37 They joke, today I have to take a toilet break. They will say, when they say that, the saint says that the family of Christ, child of God, says, today I take a toilet break. Everybody will smile and no, yes, you had to cast out because the things
going wrong outside you and within you is happening.

12:53 So brothers and sisters today cast out the evil spirits in the name of Jesus Christ. Seek righteousness, peace and joy. Worship God.

13:00 Worship in the spirit to get the joy righteousness. Clothe yourself with righteousness from Christ. Receive the peace.

13:08 Breathe brothers. Receive the peace of Christ. And knowing fully well that this scripture is true, that all your needs will be settled.

13:16 All. All your needs will settle. Don’t need to go and look anything else.

13:20 Settle our needs in Jesus Christ’s name I pray you will do. Brothers and sisters, this works. In the name of Jesus Christ.

13:27 Amen.
