Monday 2nd September 2019 Prayer Devotion
Sripture Reading:- Matthew 5:1-16
Topic:- Christ’s Teaching On The Mount About The Kingdom [1]
Text:- Matthew 5:8
Kingdom of God is our home country. We are just here in the world, we are not of this world. We are already spiritually translated to the Kingdom of God. See Ephesians 2:6.
We are now living here on earth as ambassadors of our Kingdom. But most of us do not know this so we are still suffering from those things that the people of the world suffer because we do not know any better to tell Satan to get off. See 2 Corinthians 5:20.
We no longer have to suffer those things if we are faithful to our callings as ambassadors of the Kingdom. Ambassadors do not suffer in any country. See Proverbs 13:17.
Its home Kingdom provides for his needs. That is why Jesus said, why do you worry yourself what you will eat, drink, wear and so on. As ambassadors of our Kingdom, we are supposed to be more concerned with what is happening in our home Kingdom and how we can project the glory of that Kingdom here on earth. Your home Kingdom of Heaven has the obligation and is committed to protect you, support you and provide for your needs. See Matthew 6:25, 31, 33.
The Sermon On The Mount:
The Sermon on the Mount is something referred to as the Manifesto or the Magna Charta of the Kingdom of God. It covers the divine qualities and attributes that a Christian who is a citizen of the Kingdom must have, must be, must do, his relationship with man and his relationship with God. When Jesus says “Blessed be” in this Sermon, He is saying Happy are you when you exhibit these Kingdom attributes. These teachings of Jesus covered three major issues.
1. Issues that concern our relationship to others.
2. Issues that concern our relationship to God.
3. Issues that concerns our relationship with our self
Prayer Point:- Oh Lord God, make me Your good ambassador indeed so as portrait You well in Your kingdom on earth henceforth by fire, in the name of Jesus Christ.
