In
this world there are only two realities, two kingdoms.
The
first is the kingdom of this world that belongs to Satan,
The
serpent, the devil, the evil one,
Who
came to steal, kill and destroy as much of humanity as he can.
This
is the kingdom that every person is born into;
Every
person is born with a sin nature,
With
a natural propensity to sin.
This
kingdom is devoted to every type of wickedness and sin
That
can be imagined.
The
outworking of this kingdom is seen in each person's daily life
And
everyday on the news of the day.
This
kingdom brought about the wretched state of humanity
Before
the flood in the days of Noah;
Where
every inclination of the thoughts of the heart of man
Was
only evil all the time. (Genesis 6:5)
Humanity
was entirely corrupt and filled with violence,
Which
is where we are headed for today;
Which
is what Christ Jesus foretold. (Matthew 24:37-44)
This
kingdom produced all the major kingdoms of the world
That
history records and their inherent evil and wickedness.
It
brought most recently Hitler and his maniacal devastation,
A
forerunner to the coming Antichrist, the Beast of Revelation.
The
destination of this kingdom and its adherents
Is
The Lake Of Fire, hell;
The
place God designed for Satan, his fallen angels
And
all who follow him.
The
second reality is the Kingdom of God.
Its
characteristics are righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
(Romans
14:17)
The
only access to this Kingdom is Christ Jesus,
The
Anointed One of God; God in a human body.
Access
to this Kingdom is by faith alone;
Faith,
that causes one to confess with their mouth
That
Christ Jesus is Lord,
And
to believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead.
(Romans
10:9)
Faith,
that enables one to overcome this world
By
the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony,
Not
loving this life so much as to shrink from death.
(Revelation
12:11)
The
destination of this Kingdom is Heaven, Paradise,
And
Eternity in the Presence of God.
Every
person lives in one of these kingdoms by choice.
Every
person chooses their kingdom.
Not
to choose is as much a choice as to choose.
Not
to choose puts you in the kingdom of Satan.
To
enter the Kingdom of God,
You
must make an overt, deliberate choice
My
prayer is that you will choose the Kingdom of God.
Then,
when every knee bows to Christ Jesus,
You
will be able to do so with gladness in your heart,
And
He can say to you well done good and faithful servant
And
not away from me you evil doer.
