(Sunday message By REV. C. PETER CHANDRAN, The Living God Ministries, on 10/November / 2013 Chennai India )

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the LORD Jesus Christ. This sunday, I have a desire to preach to you about three important characteristics of the kingdom of God from Romans 14: 17. Here, the Holy Bible says:

THE DOCTRINE OF GOD:

The study of God as a doctrine in one of highest and greatest importance in the mind of man. God created the material universe. The book of nature is the inspired witness of the glory of God. The Bible says in Psalm 19:1:

" The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament showeth his handy work".

The nature, history and human, they all reveal the existence of God. The Bible reveals the existence of God. The Bible reveals God as JEHOVAH or as "the Eternal". There are at least four avenues of revelation:

  1. The physical universe ( Psalms 19;Romans 1:19.20)
  2. The Human soul ( Romans 2: 14,15)
  3. The written word, The Bible ( Psalms 19: 7-11; II Timothy 3:16)
  4. The Living Word, Christ( John 1:18; Hebrews 1:1)

The written word reveals us the nature of God, the names of God and the attributes of God. Through the living word made flesh, Jesus Christ, we have the complete revelation of God.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD:

The kingdom of God is the spiritual kingdom, in which God is the king. He rules the entire universe. In the earthly realm, a country that is ruled by a king or queen is termed as kingdom. In this, the king is usually the son or close relative of the former ruler. In God's kingdom, the kingdom of His dear Son Jesus Christ. When you and I received Jesus into our hearts and life as our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ is in us, The kingdom has already come into us. We are living in His Kingdom. The Bible says in Colossians 1:12-15:

" giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the dear Son of His love. In whom we have redemption through His B;ood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation ".

As saints in the light, we have the inheritance of eternal life, the nature of God. That life provides us all abundant blessings for our present life. God our Father did three things in our life: 1. He qualified us to inherit, 2. He delivered us from darkness, 3. He translated us into His Kingdom.

FOOD AND DRINK:

Do not worry about food and drink. God provides us good food for nourishment and clean drinking water to quench our thirst and He clothes us nicely as king's children. We need not worry about these basic needs of life. Yet so many people in the world, e.g., Africa and India are struggling to get these needs, even in chennai, India. What is the solution for this situation and condition and circumstances. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33:

" But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you".

The human body needs physical food and water. The soul needs intellectual knowledge, but the spirit of man ( innermost being ) desires the word of God. That is why we need to feed on the word of God and be filled with the Spirit of God. The word of God is the bread of life and the Spirit of God is the rivers of living water. God is concerned about our physical and intellectual and spiritual well being . Ecclesiastes 2:24. King Solomon says:

" There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw was from the hand of God."

Having come thus for in my message to you, let me explain to you about the three characteristics of the kingdom of God: 1. Righteousness, 2. Peace, 3.Joy in the Holy Spirit. You are going to experience these marvelous spiritual experiences as you have come into the kingdom by way of new and spiritual birth.

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD:

There were so many righteous persons in the O.T. and many of us in the N.T. are also righteous. Let us study the life one person whose name was ABRAM." And he( Abram) believed in the LORD. He accounted to him for righteousness" ( Genesis 15:6). Abram was childless, but God promised him to give him a son from his own body; Abraham believed in Him who quickens his body. The resurrection power of God worked in his body mightily and a son was born to Abraham. This is called the faith of Abraham. To fulfill the promise of God, Abraham walked before God and lived a righteous life,100% faithful, holy and blameless life.

" ...the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, ' I am Almighty God, walk before Me and be blameless" ( Genesis 17:1).

That is why, God blessed him and multiplied his descendants as the stars of heaven and sand in the seashore. Abraham was justified by faith. Similarly, we believe in the operation of God who raised JESUS for our justification. We believe in the resurrection of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. The Bible says in Romans 5:1 : " Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ".

Justification by faith leads into the experience of peace with God. God wants to give you peace in your mind, in your life, in your family and in your church. Peace ( Shalom) to you my dear friends . Peace is a situation or a period of time in which there is no war or violence in the country or area. The two communities now manage to live in peace together. The state of being calm or quite. Being peaceful means, for example, a calm and quite village. Our calling is to be peacemakers. Jesus said:" Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God" ( Sermon on the mount).

When you read God's word daily morning, the whole day you will experience calm, quietness and harmony with people you meet in your day today life. You should also think very often the word of God. And you will be always filled with divine peace.

" Great peace have those who love your Law, and nothing causes them to stumble” (Psalm 119:165).

" Blessed is the man...his delight is in the law of the LORD. And in His law he meditates day and night...And whatever he does shall prosper" ( Psalm 1:1-3).

I must love, delight and meditate in the word of God day and night. This should be our experience, testimony and confession. Then you shall have a peaceful, fruitful and prosperous life. Prayer to God fills your mind with perfect peace.

JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT:

The kingdom of God is in the joy in the Holy Spirit. Joy comes when you are filled with Holy Spirit. God wants you to be happy always. Rejoice in the LORD always. Because the joy of the Lord is your strength. Repentance ( change of mind to God) brings joy in life. Jesus explained this in Luke ch.15:

  1. When the lost sheep is found, the Good shepherd Jesus is happy
  2. When lost coin is found, the virgin bride is happy
  3. When the prodigal son repents, and comes to the Father God, He is happy.

This is spiritual happiness when we win souls for the kingdom of God. Joy shall be in Heaven, when one sinner repents.. Fear not. Be glad, the LORD will do great things in the nation, country and States. Being filled with the Holy Spirit, makes you a happy disciple of the Lord.
The Bible says:

" Whom having not seen you love, Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory"( I Peter 1:8).

The Bible says that you love Jesus Christ. You have not seen Him. Yet you believe on Him. This makes you to rejoice with joy. This joy is inexpressible and full of glory, which is the joy of salvation. The Bible says in Isaiah 12:2,3:

" Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust and not be afraid; For YAH, The LORD is my strength and my song. He also has become my salvation. Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation ".

That is the kingdom of God. The Bible says in Romans 14:17: " The kingdom of God is righteousness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit. Amen. God bless you.
