This is why the Kingdom of God is not to be seen in our world.
Doing what we believe ?
We all want our own kingdom. Adam and Eve wanted to follow what they thought
good and decided it. They tasted what is forbidden to them. Likewise we also
choose for ourselves what’s good or bad for us. Sometimes, the family be our
kingdom and we rule it like a king or queen. In business, the boss wants to build
up a commercial kingdom of his own, preferably to have name everywhere. In
politics and in Church, people would like to expand their influence and exercise
authority over everywhere and have control and name. It shows that God is not
our King and we are not of His kingdom. People have rejected the will of God as
their rule of life. We blame God for the unfairness happening to life. We are not
willing to be his subjects.
The Word “save” in Greek is “sozo”, meaning to deliver from the penalties of the
Messianic judgment, to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or
rescue. We need to have the power of resurrection to bring them to senses. We
pray for revival in churches and communities which are disobeying the will of
Jesus. Let him rule everything - our work, our leisure, our money, our ambition,
health etc. The word “diakoneo” in Greek, meaning “serve” refers to be a servant,
attendant, domestic, to serve, wait upon. Yes, the harvest is plenty, the workers
are few. God calls people to be available for Him, unconditionally, in the place of
this great harvest. Let us ask God for His guidance and His providence.
