KINGDOM, LAW AND FAITH

There are three things among other things that GOD cherishes in our relationship and work with HIM. If these three things are taking seriously at heart, our relationship and work with GOD will be inseparable.

As the KING, GOD has a Kingdom and a Kingdom cannot function without Laws that would guide and inform the Kingdom’s purpose of existence. So, if The Kingdom and Law are the elements of ruling the hearts of men, what is the need for Faith? How helpful is Faith to the KING and HIS people?

KINGDOM AND LAW

Generally, the law can be a set of instructions written in order to guide a system for the purpose of functioning according to design. This means that law does not create a Kingdom but guides to function according to the Creator. There would always be satisfaction if the Kingdom is always functioning as it needs to function and even though the Kingdom is not created by the law, they must equally emerge from the same source.

In ancient times, it is often said that the king is the law i.e. Whatever the king declares stands as the law people should live by. In the Kingdom of the LORD, the Word of GOD is the Law because HE is what HE says and the Spirit from which the Words HE speaks from is the embodiment of HIS kingdom. According to the Holy Bible, the summary of the Kingdom of the LORD is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. This means that whoever is living in the reality of the Kingdom of the LORD, these three things must be his reality and this can only be possible if the Laws of the KING are being kept sincerely and cheerfully.

FAITH

According to the book of Hebrew, Faith is the substance of the things hoped for and the evidence of the things not seen . . . So how does Faith relates to the Kingdom of the LORD and the Laws governing it?

From the Scriptures, it is evident that:

1. Law of GOD = HIS Word
2. Word of GOD = HIS person or Who HE is
>>>Therefore, The Law of GOD = GOD HIMSELF

Also,

1. Kingdom of GOD: King’s Domain
2. Domain: Everything was made by HIS Word

This means that whatever we see and not see i.e. whatever we know to be existing and the ones we are not aware of their existence were made by GOD’s Word. They are all from GOD. “The earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof . . .”

So, GOD asking us to have Faith is a way of saying that:

“I am My Word and My Word is Law; My Kingdom is a part of Me that I have spread in the hearts of My people on earth and even upon the earth itself. My Kingdom and My Law are both products of My Spirit. Can you just obey ME when I say a word to you in form of a command? Since I am the Law and you have accepted this same Law, can you just do things only because I say so even though it may not make sense in the immediate?”

If GOD speaks and HIS words become law and everything we see are products of the same words, it means there is more to GOD that can only be accessed through a relationship with HIS person. Faith is more of our relationship with the KING that founded the Kingdom and made the Law . . . If we accept the person of GOD and HIS Son JESUS CHRIST, then the Law would be natural to live by and the Kingdom will be our abode even as HE abides in us.

Faith is allowing GOD to live out HIS Kingdom and Laws from our within . . . Selah!

The Connection That Matters

We always clamour for connections whenever we need to get things done and much emphasis is always laid on it that people feel helpless when they fail to make this connection.

To many, the connection that matters is that connection with that man at the top who seems to have everything going on well . . .

But there is a threesome connection that is based on relationship and it was posited in Ecclesiastes but the reality can be found in the book of Exodus. It is a connection based on relationship rather than what the world system defines as connection because it is not about knowing a man of stature who owns or works in a reputable organization.

This true connection starts from possessing GOD extends to the possession of people . . . As we possess GOD and HE possesses us in return, there will be an unhindered flow of virtues and idea that only can only be sourced from GOD. And as we possess people and they eventually possess us, there will be enormous human resources available for us to execute the ideas that is flowing through us.

It would be a double blessing if the people we possess also have GOD as their possession. In this manner, GOd’s ultimate will will soon be done in no time. It would be that GOd gives the ideas and also gives the people that have the capacity to execute what HE has deposited in our hearts.

The connection that really matters starts from a relationship with GOd and ends with a more cordial relationship with GOD and HIS people . . . A connection that is founded on relationships and strengthened by the same.

It is only this threesome connection that would ensure HIs Glory is the only element that succeeds our engagements on earth . . . If you possess GOD, possess people too but make sure what you use them for are for the benefits of of these same possessions (GOD and men) . . . It is a cord that should not be broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12). GOD would give Moses commands (ideas) but Moses would in turn relate the ideas to people like Bezaleel so that what GOD said was able to find expression physically.

But what could happen if there is any disconnect?

1. If a man only connects with GOD without connecting with people, he would almost have an unhindered flow of virtues and ideas and the essence if GOD so much that he could feel it . . . But failure to connect with people would lead to frustration. There is something about man and it is that he must be able to realize physically what he has conceived or conceptualized spiritually, emotionally and intellectually. Without people willing to help him translate these things, he would be a frustrated man with so many within him to be brought to life but none or little has found true expression.

2. If a man only connects with people without first starting from GOD or without connecting with HIM at all, he may have things he has concocted in mind that people could help him with and the resources to make it happen but the issue would be the sustainability of what he wants to realize. Without GOD, the best he could do is from the fallen (from GOD’s design) mental state and intellectual state of man; and also to recycle and modify what had been before. Even though he has the capacity to do almost anything imaginable by him, he would never do a new thing locked up in GOD and only those hidden things in GOD that last forever.

* * * *

When a man connects with GOD and men, he has access to GOD’s unlimited hidden and eternal ideas. He also have people that would help him turn these ideas Ito sustainable realities that establish nothing but the Truth that JESUS is.
