This Kingdom Will Come”


.

Intro = The people are still hopeful for a political leader who would set up an earthly good governance. Majority of our citizens are dreaming of a Kingdom like government. Once upon a time in our Philippine(meaning finely chosen) cultures, we live a life of the Maharlikas.  Kaya naman pag nanonood tayo ng mga Royal weddings o Royal inauguration ay parang nakakasabik magkaroon ng gayong mga pagdiriwang.. it’s because we have the same form of government before. It is not possible to have the kind of government that we long for if we believe in Theocratic government ruled by God. But the question is how can we have and how could we get there? 


But here we are talking about the Kingdom living,. On how we suppose to live and how we should do our part if we are to live in the Kingdom. Citizen of the Kingdom has the support and protection of the king. But you must be capable to catch up the standard of living in this Kingdom. And how if those capital provided by the King  went to nothing or did not prosper and multiply?


   


Title = This Kingdom Will Come                            


Reading = Luke 19:11-27

12) A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then return. =
13) Gave them ten minas, and gave his instruction;” Put this money to work =
The first and the second are good Stewards. But the other one did not made it grow.
# mark this; “I will judge you by your own words.”
= If you ignore me, I will ignore you in the face of my father
= If you deny me, I will deny you your salvation

  1.        This story showed Jesus’ followers what they were to do during the time between Jesus’ departure and his Second Coming.
Because we live in that time, This applies directly to us, .  

2.         We have been given excellent resources to build and enlarge God’s Kingdom. Jesus expects us to use this talent so that they multiply and the Kingdom expands.
 What are those talents that have given to us by God? Can you name some?
a) Our knowledge about the Kingdome
b) Our convincing faith in God
c) The Salvation that we have
d) Our material blessing

3.         He asks each of us,” What are you doing with what I have given you? ”While awaiting the coming of the Kingdom of God in glory, we must do his work.
 What are this works that he is telling us about?
 Our personal attention) and social communication will fill the gap to communicate with others, without those it will be void and null to share the word
Conclusion = (2 Corinthians 13:5) Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you?
Have you share the knowledge about the Kingdom?
Have you made your faith grow like a mustard seed?
Have you made your self so convincingly to others to win soul for God?
Did you use your ability and your capacity to show the world that nothing is so important in this world than to live in the Kingdom of God.
Let me say this once more, This Kingdom will come, that’s for sure.” THIS KINGDOM WILL COME”  Where will you be when this Kingdom come?
