Where On Earth Is The Kingdom?

‘Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God will come, He answered them and said, the Kingdom of God does not come with observation’ Luke.17:20.

The domain of the King as scripture rightly points out is in Heaven. However, God is boundless and He has chosen to extend His domain on earth. Are you one of those wondering and perhaps even asking, where on earth is this Kingdom? Jesus gave the perfect answer to the Pharisees who also demanded to know where the Kingdom He always spoke about was; and today that answer is still relevant. ‘Jesus replied, “The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs. You won’t be able to say, ‘Here it is!’ or ‘It’s over there!’ For the Kingdom of God is already among you’ [Luke 17:20b-21 NLT]. The Pharisees asked one question – when? Jesus gave two answers – when and where. Jesus knew the unasked question in their hearts was actually where. ‘…behold, the Kingdom of God is within you’. Meaning, if you have accepted Jesus Christ, God’s Kingdom has taken full residence in you and you have become a citizen of the Kingdom. Yet, to those who have not accepted Jesus as their Lord, the Kingdom is far away. As a child of God, know that the Kingdom is within you. This means every possible solution you seek is not on the outside but on the inside of you. Access it by pressing into it; ‘greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world’. Unfortunately, Kingdom citizens today are lost seeking solutions outside – at crusades, in ‘prophets’, through herbalists and the likes. The solution you seek is not lost, the Kingdom of God is inside of you! After seeking counsel from a ‘prophet’, a certain man went on a 21days fast that almost killed him. When his Pastor asked him why, he said he was seeking salvation. Our Saviour says, ‘if you believe in your heart and you confess with your mouth, you will be saved’. The Kingdom of God is within you – Just believe it!

 Prayer: Father, my life is Your domain. Let Your Kingdom come in every area of my life and in my family in Jesus Name.
