The Kingdom

“And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize—a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion]” Matt.11:12 [AMP].

Jesus wants us to understand how the Kingdom of God works. The way the Kingdom is orchestrated is on a violent assault basis. The Kingdom is advanced violently. The territories you take are sustained violently. The Kingdom is expanded violently. If you want to stand for the Kingdom you must be prepared to endure violent assault. The kingdom is not expanded without violent assault and intense exertion. You need to fight for your children. Sadly, some parents are okay seeing their children live waywardly. They think as long as they can plead the Blood of Jesus, their children will be alright. That is very far from the truth because the Bible says, violent men seize it by force.

You need to fight for the souls of your children because they are the carriers of the Kingdom to the next generation. You need to fight for their souls and the only way to do it is violently. So stop opting out of corporate spiritual exercises, plug in and gain spiritual advantage. You need to strike and keep on striking. Why? The Kingdom suffers violence and the violent take it by force.

It is the will of the Father to give you a share of the Kingdom. But it can only be delivered with most ardent zeal, intense exertion, intense pressing and pushing. Your portion of the Kingdom will be delivered to you [say amen]. I can see folks rising in their spirit man, ready to push and breakdown walls, and so shall it be. But you need to understand how the Kingdom works.

Please read 1 Samuel 30. David and his men went to battle and in their absence, the enemy raided the camp, burnt their houses and took away their wives, children and their slaves. Take away the wife and children of a strong man and he will sit on the floor and weep like a baby. And that is exactly what David and his men did. But the truth is weeping will not deliver anything to you. After a while, David’s men started planning to stone him. Sometimes when people are angry with God they turn on their leaders. David had to get a grip. You need to get a grip. David encouraged himself, inquired of the Lord and God spoke. God still speaks. God is saying to you pursue, you will surely overtake and without fail recover all.

Prayer: Father, Your Words of victory for me will not return to You void. I pursue, for I will surely overtake and without fail recover all, in Jesus Name.
