Righteousness, Peace and Joy

‘For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit’. Rom.14:17

Examine your life, is yours a reflection of the Kingdom? Are you living righteously, are you experiencing peace and is there joy in your life, home and career? If not, then the Kingdom of God has not been fully established in your life. Paul says, ‘the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit’. This means the Kingdom of God in itself is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Remember this song from Sunday school – ‘Righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost (2x); Righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, that’s the Kingdom of God. Don’t you wanna be a part of this Kingdom? (2x); Come on everybody’. It is an embodiment of Romans 14:17 and it is God’s open invitation to you and I to come into the Kingdom. Enjoy a life that is a reflection of the King and His domain; fullness of joy, peace and being in right standing with God. Even when things get rough, because they will, you can constantly with the help of the Holy Spirit live your life with the fullness of the Kingdom here on earth. You have been given a Helper in the person of the Holy Spirit to live the life of the Kingdom; the life Jesus died for you to have. You have often heard people say that we live in a broken world; cracks in marriages, finances, academics, businesses, relationships, understanding and in vision. However, scripture declares that ‘where men say there is a casting down, we will say there is a lifting up’; because we are a reflection of the King – The Alpha and Omega, the King of kings. It is only in the Kingdom of God that you can live right, have abundance of peace and overflowing joy. Submit to the King of kings today and watch your life become a reflection of His abundance.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, King of kings, the Maker of Heaven and Earth; I ask that You extend Your domain into my life and rule. Lord make my like a reflection of You in Jesus Name.
