Have you ever prayed for God’s kingdom to come?
Over the years, millions have repeated the the words “ Thy kingdom come”. Why have people followed that line of prayer?
Simply because Jesus told his followers to pray for God’s kingdom come.
At first, his followers didn’t understand what Jesus said about the kingdom. Hence , they asked him, “ lord are your restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
However, they were probably surprised when Jesus did not give them a direct answer.
But then, you may wonder, do we really need God’s kingdom?, if so, why?
At the start of human history, our creator who’s name is Jehovah was the only ruler. He governed in a very loving way. He provided a beautiful home - garden of eden for the first human pair to live in. He gave them all of life essentials . Humans in general would have maintained that status-quo only and only if they’d remained under God’s rulership.
The Bible reveals that a rebellious angel known as satan the devil challenged God’s right to rule. He insinuated that humans would be happy void of Gods direction and rulership .sadly, our first parents followed satan’s direction and rebelled against God.
As a result of their rebellion, they lost their home and the hope of living forever in perfect health. They were not only affected by their decision, their children too were .Romans 5:12 says “ sun entered into the world and death through sin”.
Sin led to another tragic result... man has been cruel to his fellow.
As a result of man’s disobedience, Jehovah turned his back on them, ever since ,humans have taken over the helm of affairs .
What has been the result?
In 2009, a United Nations publication said Ryan bad rulership is increasingly being viewed as one of the root causes of all evils within our society.
How much more today... we cannot overemphasize our dire need for God’s kingdom.
We need it more than ever .
Do you still pray for this kingdom?
Or have you given up hope??
The scripture is perfect and the world of God is very true.
