The Kingdom Realities Series

Unveiling The Kingdom of God (Part 4)

Topic:The Three Dispensations of the Kingdom of God

The Kingdom of God is an everlasting Kingdom, it transcends generations and unfolds dispensationally. Dispensation is the prevailing moment or era of the Kingdom. It is very important for us to know the era we are, in order to know what era is next. According to the scriptures, our God is dispensational.
"Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God" (Colossians 1:25 KJV)

Meanwhile, in line with our subject for today: the Three Dispensations of the Kingdom, based on the light of the scriptures include: (1) The Kingdom Preparation (2) The Kingdom Presentation (3) The Kingdom Perfection. The Kingdom was prepared before the foundation of the world, to be an exact model of His Kingdom in heaven. The scripture says:

"Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world" (Matthew 25:34 KJV).

God had in mind before the foundation of the world, how He planned the earth to be, just like heaven. No wonder Jesus Christ, taught us to pray: "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10 KJV).

Nonetheless, God presented the Kingdom to man in the beginning, but it slipped off the first man through the subtle nature of the Usurper, the devil. This led to the lost of the dominion of the earth to the devil, according to the scriptures:

"And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it" (Luke 4:6 KJV).

But thanks be unto God, for sending His Son, Jesus Christ, for the restoration of the Kingdom of God. The lost Kingdom is now restored, that's why the scriptures says:

"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 4:17 KJV).

"So when they were assembled, they asked Him, Lord, is this the time when You will reestablish the kingdom and restore it to Israel?"
(Acts 1:6 AMPC).

Most importantly, this present Kingdom now, is to make us ready and fit for the Perfect Kingdom that is coming, at the end of age tagged: the Second coming of Christ:

"I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me" (John 17:23 KJV)

Therefore, let us be Kingdom minded and Righteousness conscious, till Christ fills all in all, when He presents the Kingdom to God in the end of age. Remember, you are: the living mobile Kingdom of God on the earth (Read Luke 17:21).
