“And heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’” (Luke 10:9)
The Kingdom of God isn’t a place; it’s the reign of God where He exercises His Lordship and expresses His glory and goodness. It’s not a physical kingdom but a spiritual one, and this is why the Lord Jesus told the people not to look for it anywhere: “And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.”(Luke 17:20–21)
God’s plan is to set up His Kingdom in men’s hearts. This wasn’t possible in the days of Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and David. But now, in Christ Jesus, it’s possible for anyone who believes on His Name to receive the life, presence, beauty, and glory of God in his heart. It’s now possible for God to be at home in your heart and set up His headquarters in you! What a great blessing this is!
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank You for making it possible for me to have Your Kingdom in my heart. Thank You for setting Your headquarters in me. I’m honoured to be Your point of contact to the world. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!
