- KEYS TO THE KINGDOM
All men live in a natural kingdom of this world. They live in a city or village which is part of a
nation. That nation is a kingdom of the world.
In addition to the natural kingdoms of this world there are two spiritual kingdoms which exist.
Every person alive is a resident of one of these two kingdoms: The kingdom of Satan or the
Kingdom of God.
This site concerns the Kingdom of God. It introduces the two spiritual kingdoms, their rulers,
and residents. It provides spiritual keys for gaining access to the Kingdom of God and warns of
things which result in being cast out of the Kingdom. The past, present, and future of this
Kingdom are examined, Kingdom parables are explained, and its patterns and principles of living
are stressed.
Why is study of the Kingdom of God important?
Jesus told His followers:
"And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come." (Matthew 24:14)
Before Jesus returns to set up His Kingdom in its final form, the Gospel of the Kingdom must be
extended throughout the nations of the world.
In order to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom, you must understand the Kingdom of God. Before
you can become custodian to the keys to the Kingdom, you must first experience that Kingdom.
In the past, much emphasis has been placed on the life and ministry of the King of the Kingdom,
Jesus Christ, and rightly so. But not enough emphasis has been given the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Jesus told the religious leaders of His time:
"Ye shut up the Kingdom of Heaven against men: For ye neither go in
yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."
(Matthew 23:13)
It was this Gospel of the Kingdom which was the central purpose of Christ's life. He began His
earthly ministry by declaring the arrival of the Kingdom (Matthew 4:17). He ended His earthly
ministry by speaking of things pertaining to the Kingdom (Acts 1:3). In between the beginning
and ending of His earthly ministry, the emphasis was on the Kingdom:
And He said unto them," I must preach the Kingdom of God to other cities
also; for therefore am I sent." (Luke 4:43)
The Kingdom of God was the greatest concern of Jesus. His teachings and parables focused on
the Kingdom. His miracles were a demonstration of the Kingdom of God in action.
The phrases "Kingdom of God" and "Kingdom of Heaven" are used over 100 times in the books
of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. We are told to seek first the Kingdom, to pray for it, and to
preach it. We are told how to enter the Kingdom and taught that residency in it requires a new
lifestyle.
To enter this Kingdom, to maintain residency, and to fulfill the commission to preach its Gospel
to the world it is necessary to understand the principles and patterns of the Kingdom. That is the
purpose of this site.
But there is a greater purpose than just understanding Kingdom principles. You must go beyond
mere knowledge of the Kingdom to actually experience it and make it the central purpose of your
life.
People seek for meaning in life. They want a cause for which to live and die. Make the
Kingdom of God your central purpose of life and ministry. It is a Kingdom which cannot be
shaken by enemy forces. It is an eternal cause to which you can give your total allegiance."
Dr. Myles Munroe, a multi-gifted international motivational speaker, best selling author and business consultant said in his book 'Rediscovering the Kingdom' that "The message of the Bible is about a King, a Kingdom, and His royal offspring. Everyone of the 7 billion people on planet earth is seeking the Kingdom of God, which is their ultimate fulfillment. Every Religion and activity of mankind is man's attempt to find the Kingdom. It is the pearl that out-values all pearls, and the only treasure that is worth all the other treasures of life. The Kingdom is life itself. Therefore it is imperative, crucial, and necessary that we all understand the concepts of the Kingdoms so that we can better appreciate the good news brought to earth by our Lord and Creator."
