“The Goal of Receiving the Kingdom”
Genesis 15:1-6
- When God speaks to us, we must believe His Word, no matter how impossible it may seem.
Hebrews 11:1-2;7-13
- Faith takes hold of God’s power in bringing into reality God’s favor and provisions into our life.
- Let us act on the Word of God for this is what faith is.
Psalm 33:6-22
Luke 12:32-37
- God gave us the privilege to become part of His Kingdom; We are to allow Him to be fully Lord, God, and Master over our lives. He is the King; not us.
- As the Lord gave us the Kingdom, we are to submit to His Kingdom in us.
- It is the Father’s good pleasure to give us the Kingdom.
- We should not put our security/dependence in what we have but only in God
