Warfare of the Kingdom Day 3 Evening Session by Pastor Ernest Paul

World philosophers are lovers of knowledge. When they read the word of God, it’s not because they want to know God. but just for head knowledge. Although some persons have camped around some meaningless findings of the word but when you grow, you become sober in the Spirit. People are thrilled by knowledge but it would come to a time when they will be sober in the spirit and begin to know what will profit the kingdom.

The Church in Nigeria is at a point where everyone does what seems right in his eyes. There is a level the church needs to come into in the order of the spirit We need leaders in the church; men that can stand as fathers for the advancement of the church. When there are leaders to lead the church, the people will be willing to offer up themselves and enmities will have no place in the church. We need the right leadership in the church because there is a dimension of leadership that will launch men to know their position in warfare. We need to migrate from the church we religiously know and work according to what Jesus originated.

Jesus did not come to start a religion. The coming of Jesus was to bring God’s agenda into earth. God’s agenda was the Kingdom which is subduing and dominating. When the administration of God comes, there shall be no end and there would be an increase of His kingdom. You cannot advance the kingdom, the kingdom advances by itself. When God’s administration comes, it increases. (Isaiah 9:7)
God is not loved on the outside. Nothing physical about Jesus was really attractive or enticing, beginning from his birth. Therefore, knowing him will only be by the Spirit. God is not motivated by your frustration and is neither manipulated by your emotions. God comes to solve problems and issues sometimes without you even knowing how he came. David was a representation of Joy and Saul a representation of disobedience. We must advance into the period of peace, where all battles have been fought and won.

There is something we must look like on the inside and on the outside. Defining our ‘being like Christ’ is not just in not being sinful but in all things that he is. We work with the Holy Ghost until we come into realisation of the finished work. God does not wait until we have entered into perfection before he can put all his spirits in us. You don’t get mature to receive the seven spirits, in fact, you need the seven spirits to become mature. Our desire should be to grow up fully in Christ in all things. We are not learning just to be good Christian. We are not growing to execute church – The plan of God is that the kingdom will enter into church

.
There is an outward and an inward strength of the kingdom. ‘The kingdom is advancing’ simply means that that the kingdom is coming. There is a life in you that the kingdom of God will come to replace.
There will come a time that there won’t be any other kingdom except the kingdom of God. Our task here is to receive the kingdom which will only happen by massive spiritual warfare. The good news is that we are becoming more intelligent about the kingdom.

We are learning how to live in the kingdom and not just how to live a normal life. The kingdom of God was introduced into heaven. The kingdom draws character from the one who sits on the throne. When God entered into heaven, he began to shape heaven according to His administration. God generated the order of life that is within Him and made it the administration of Heaven. Christ is the prototype of everything that is divine.

The entrance of the kingdom is by warfare. The church is the hope of christianity and God must find his dwelling place amongst us. We need to have a sense of mission and purpose. I Corinthians 14:8 – At that point where war is being declared against you, you are already in war. For you not to be ready to fight at that point only makes it easy for the enemy to win. Now is the time for war between good and bad, between light and darkness.
When we see Jesus, we see what the father is. Isaiah 59:17 – The Spirit of justice chooses good over evil. When you do justice, you do righteousness. To avenge, you must understand the judgement of God over a thing.
The Spirit of justice is released upon the house and judges are rising.God is giving unto us the spirit of justice by which we will choose good over evil.
