| DO YOU KNOW THE WAY TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD? |
WHERE IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD LOCATED?
In general we knew God’s kingdom was in heaven, it was as said by some other
religions. They cleave on to the phrase in John 18:36 - Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this
world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the
Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Hence, when we
read:
Luke 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
They generally conclude that what it means was the Kingdom in Heaven; which were not true…
Luke 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
They generally conclude that what it means was the Kingdom in Heaven; which were not true…
Think logically:
how could we found the kingdom of GOD if it was in Heaven? And it does not
follow as an actuality that when we say Kingdom it will be like the kingdom of
Saudi Arabia; which was big in size.
The word kingdom as per see is a place or a spot wherein in someone’s command will always prevail or in more precise: the King will reign in that area.
The word kingdom as per see is a place or a spot wherein in someone’s command will always prevail or in more precise: the King will reign in that area.
Then we can come to
a conclusion that it is here on earth, we can analyze this and accept with
the following verses:
Matthew 6:9-13
Therefore the will of GOD was not just stack in heaven but also "thy will be done in Earth" an extension of His kindness and power and commandments for the people He love and who love Him.
Matthew 10:6-7
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And
as ye go, preach, saying, the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.
For GOD has the power to extend His
Kingdom from heaven and it was kindly given to the Israelite. But Israel
sinned gravely that makes Jesus come to fulfill the scriptures.
Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, that thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
If hell has gates how much more the Kingdom of an all powerful GOD!
Psalm 100:3-4
Know ye that the LORD he is
God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are
his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter
into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise:
be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Here on Earth were many
kingdoms. A few of them were the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, The United Kingdom, the Vatican City can be consider as the a Kingdom wherein the Pope was the one praised by their members, so kingdom where a place wherein a group of people or members were gathered together and becomes united. Each
kingdom designates a king. Great Britain was also a kingdom controlled by a
Queen Elizabeth. Aside from the kingdom of Great Britain, they have many
kingdoms outside their own kingdom one of those was Ireland. Singapore and Hong
Kong were before their affiliated kingdoms. Although Singapore and Hong Kong were
far; they pay homage to Great Britain and administered by the kingdom of Great
Britain before.
And one proof that those kingdoms has gates, you need an specific passport before you can enter to that particular kingdom, therefore even if that place were not called in particular as a kingdom, we can categorize them as a kingdom because the person authorized to declare a law or commandments, whether it was a president, maybe a minister their commands were observe by their constituents...

WERE THERE ANOTHER KINGDOM HERE ON EARTH, ASIDE FROM MAN’S KINGDOM?
Yes there is a kingdom here on
earth that does not belong to man’s kingdom; it was even before the Earth was
not yet created, and it is the Kingdom of GOD. It was being prepared by GOD as
a preparation to those that will acknowledge His Name and deity as well as
Jesus.
Matthew_25:34
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:
DID GOD SET A GATE WHERE WE COULD
ENTER TO HIS KINGDOM?
Psalm 118:19
Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD: This
gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.
There
are gates that we should enter; and the gates were open to those who wished to
worship God. It calls on to the righteous nations that keep the truth of the
commandments of God.
Isaiah 26:2
Open you the gates that the righteous
nation which keep the truth may enter in.
Jeremiah 7:2
Stand in the gate of the LORD'S house,
and proclaim there this word, and say, hear the word of the LORD, all ye of
Judah that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
All these were strengthened and clarify by Lord Jesus Christ
when He declared to Peter that He will build His church and the gates of hell
will never prevail.
Matthew 16:18
And I say also unto thee, that thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Undoubtedly, there were really gates that we should entered into, in order to belong
to GOD’s people. And there are other gates like hell; wherein the wicked one
comes to and fro: BEWARE OF IT.
THE KEYS
TO THE GATES OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Now that we have found out that there were gates in the
kingdom of God, and we have to go in to be a member of GOD’s people; can we go
in directly entering the gate.
No we can't! We certainly need a key. Just like any other gates, it was closed!
To properly enter within …you need a key.
Do you have the key? Bet you don’t. Jesus has the key. He gave it not just to Saint Peter that
which the belief of Roman Catholic that the key were entrusted to Saint Peter.
Our Lord Jesus gave the key to every
Apostles as far as Saint Paul and Timothy and possibly you...
Matthew_16:19
And
I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou
shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shall loose
on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Revelation 1:18
I am he that lived, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation 1:18
I am he that lived, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
DID GOD COMMAND US TO ENTER TO THE GATES OF HIS KINGDOM?
Yes! Saint Paul the
evangelist emphasized this on Ephesians, telling us to walk to a path which God
ordained before the Earth was created; and purposedly cleave to; that which is
good, AND WE BECOME BLESSED TO ENTER THE GATES TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD HERE ON EARTH.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Saint Paul was also requesting us; by the mercy of GOD that we present our
body holy; and acceptable to GOD in His Church for it is the perfect will of
GOD.
Romans 12:1- 2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which
is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye
transform by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what that good and
acceptable and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:9
Let
love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his
commandments that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city.
WHERE SPECIFICALLY WE PRESENT OUR SERVICE TO GOD?
The Evangelist assigned to the Gentiles
talk about this to Sosthenes, Timothy and other brethren of the things they
should be done and abide if he tarried long in his journey.
And Paul perfectly refer to an
specific site… It was not just an ordinary place as Paul said:
1. behave thyself
in the house of God
2.
which is the church of the living God
3. the church of God which is at Corinth
1Timothy 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou may
know how thou ought to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church
of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
1Corinthians 1:1-2
Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in
Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call
upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
2Corinthians 1:1
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and
Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with
all the saints which are in all Achaia:
But that was 2000 years ago when
Paul was the Over – all Minister of the propagation of the word of GOD to the
Gentiles and not to the Israelites. How about today, does the CHURCH OF GOD
exist? But Paul was dead. How can it be?
The Church of God where Saint Paul
was an overseer is truly not existed today. The members of the churches which
were called Christians had been persecuted and some members were killed and
burned massively.
“Opened on Thursday alongside the Inquisition
archives was the infamous Index of Forbidden Books, which Roman Catholics were forbidden to read or possess on pain of excommunication. They showed that even “the Bible” was once on the blacklist. Translations of the holy book ended up on the bonfires along with other “heretical” works…The Index of Forbidden Books and all excommunications relating to it were officially abolished in 1966. The Inquisition itself was established by Pope Gregory IX in 1233….” -Vatican archives reveal Bible was once banned book By Jude Webber ROME, Jan 22, 1998 (Reuters)

But God did something to let us have
an instruction booklet, an evidence that even if they massacre all the Christians
in those times, there will be a proof that His Messenger; His only begotten Son
was here on Earth, died on a cross to redeemed us from sins and offered us a
second life together with God forever.

| Bibles and other Jews writings being burned-1933 |
And that handbook was called today
as Bible was the one used by the present members
of the Church of God in their
teachings and guidelines in observing, obeying the commandments of God.
Isaiah 29:18
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see
out of obscurity, and out of darkness. The meek also shall increase their
joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of
Israel. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed,
and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
Revelation_5:4-5
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Jesus has the key; and that key was the book. And Jesus want to share with you the key by which we could opened the Gates of Heaven...
Now as the setting of the sun drew near which reveals the
outcomes of previous years and the proof of the works of prophets, apostles,
evangelists and everyone who loves God and His Son Jesus were still all over
the skin of the earth and dares anybody who could destroy it…
Revelation 22:19
And if any man shall take away from
the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the
book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are
written in this book.
Revelation 22:7
Behold, I come quickly: blessed is
he that keep the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Good
luck.
And
at the end of the day say: to
GOD be the glory…
Lastly, I want to thank
God for He gave me You…
