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

Topic: Love Not The World Text: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him . John the Apostle had a personal relationship with Jesus during His time here on Earth. The relationship was so deep that he was referred to as "the beloved" of Jesus. Therefore, he understood what it means to love Jesus and be loved by Jesus. In his epistle, he decides to speak a great deal about love. Love is one of the major themes of this apostle. So much so it earned him the nickname 'The Apostle of love" John submission is that anyone who loves the world does not have the love of the Father. Which is why he encouraged the believers no to love the world, nor the things in it. Sadly, many believers have not only fallen in love with the world, but have laid in bed with the world. This is the tragedy of the 21st century church. The Greek word which is translated as the "world

Theme: Isaiah 43:18-21 interpreted in relation to  Salvation. (Pt 11) Sub Theme: All will Honour God Anchor Text: Isaiah 43:20 The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen. Based on our anchor text, we discover that the reason the beast of the field, dragons and the owls would honour God was because He gave waters in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Like we have established already that the Holy Spirit is the One who causes waters in the wilderness (salvation) and rivers to flow in the desert (Holy Spirit baptism). These creatures mentioned weren't physical rather they were spiritual entities. They were the demonic forces that try to oppose God's rule on Earth. And in order for God to establish His authority, He needs to make use of human entities as well. So Jesus gave His disciples a glimpse of how this is to work even though the Ho
