(Kingdom Realities Today Series)

Unveiling the Kingdom of God (Part 3)

The Three Dimensions of the Kingdom of God:
Jesus Christ resurrected for one singular reason: to restore the Kingdom back to man on the earth. He also sent the Holy Spirit, to establish the Kingdom till; "the kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ: and he shall reign for ever and ever" ( Rev. 11:15).

Today, we are dealing with the mystery of the 'Three Dimensions of the Kingdom of God'. These are in line with the light of the Kingdom, that Jesus Christ unveiled to us. These dimensions include: (1) The Kingdom Upon (2) The Kingdom Within and (3) The Kingdom Among.

The 'Kingdom Upon' is: the mystery of the demonstration of the power of God, for dominion over principalities and powers. According to the scriptures:

"For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power" (1 Corinthians 4:20 KJV).

"But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out the demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you [before you expected it]" (Matthew 12:28 AMPC).

"Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you" (Luke 10:19 AMPC).

The dimension of The 'Kingdom Within': is the mystery of the King of kings inside us, as believers; living in us and empowering us, to reign over situations and circumstances in life. This was emphasised by the Lord, Jesus Christ, to clarify that the Kingdom of God is not just about going to heaven, but about the authority from Heaven that is already resident in us, with the Holy Spirit, as the Resident Governor of the Kingdom of God within us now.

"Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He replied to them by saying, The kingdom of God does not come with signs to be observed or with visible display, Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]" (Luke 17:20-21 AMPC).

More so, the mystery of the "Kingdom Among us": is the presence of the Kingdom of God in Mount Zion, the Church, the body of Christ; which makes us to receive a Kingdom that cannot be shaken, in the midst of unstable world. The scriptures corroborate this truth below:

"Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]".(Luke 17:21 AMPC)

"Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe;" (Hebrews 12:28 AMPC).

Summarily, the mystery of the three Dimensions of the Kingdom of God: symbolises the three fold cords that cannot be broken (Ecclesiastic 4:12).

That's how far we'd go today. Let's make it a date again, next Sunday, on same platform, as the Holy Spirit, the Resident Governor of the Kingdom of God unfolds more on the 'Kingdom Realities Today Series'.
