Theme: Ranking in God's Kingdom

Matthew 18:1-7 Message Bible
1. At about the same time, the disciples came to Jesus asking, “Who gets the highest rank in God’s kingdom?”
2-5 For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, “I’m telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you’re not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in. Whoever becomes simple and elemental again, like this child, will rank high in God’s kingdom.

The disciples of Jesus raised up an issue that is common in every society of man throughout history. They wanted to know who amongst  them.would be ranked the higehest in God's Kingdom.

The knew the Kingdom was at hand for that was the Master's message. The only thing the Master didn't tell them was who will be at the helm of each sector and ministry in the kingdom. The fact that they were His closest disciples meant they should be the ones having the highest ranks before any other. And even among themselves they all can't be equal, someone must be the highest.  They were sure to receive a shocker from the Master as always.

In God's Kingdom, there is no ranking of the greatest or the least. The Kingdom of God is not like that of man that is made up of subjects. God's Kingdom is made up of His children and all His children are potential kings. That is why God is the King of Kings. Our King is our Father.

In God's Kingdom, there are no crown princes as the Bible says in Revelation 5:10 _And (He) hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth._ Our rule is upon the earth where we have been given Dominion and authority to reign. There is no one that will become king later on while the rest will remind princes for life.

Jesus gave the visual illustration and pulled a little child to Himself and said that's the way we are in the Kingdom. We are all children before our Father the King and we don't reign over each other, rather we reign over the earth.

We are called children of God for a reason. God believes and expects us to exhibit that childlike attitude of simplicity. Only true children are the  kings in this Kingdom.

Stay Graced...

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
