THE KINGDOM WE PREACH

The topic “The Kingdom We Preach” is not just another sermon title. It is a divine reminder in a generation where many claim to serve God, but few actually live by the culture of His kingdom.

This is a call to examine ourselves, to ask honestly:
Which kingdom am I really living for?

What Is A Kingdom?

In very simple terms, a kingdom is a sphere of influence under a king. It can be a:

  • Nation or territory

  • Community or tribe

  • System of belief or ideology

  • Even in biology, we talk about the animal kingdom, plant kingdom and so on

Wherever you see a clear way of doing things, principles, and order, you are looking at something that functions like a kingdom.

Every kingdom has:

  • A king or ruler

  • People who belong to it

  • A culture that shapes how they live

  • Often a constitution, written or unwritten, that preserves that culture

You cannot say, “I belong to this kingdom,” and then refuse its culture and reject its principles. That is self-deception.

Many people today say, “I am in the kingdom of God, I am a Christian,” yet their lifestyle is in open contradiction to the standards of that kingdom. They speak the language of the kingdom, attend the gatherings of the kingdom, even sing the songs of the kingdom, but they do not live the life of the kingdom.

When Culture Meets Scripture

Every earthly kingdom, every tribe, every people has a culture. The food we like, the clothes we wear, the way we greet, the way we marry, even what we call “good” or “bad” are shaped by culture.

This is why we must be careful not to despise people from other cultures. Often, what you call “strange” or “wrong” is only “different from what you are used to.”

However, there is a higher measure that stands above every culture and custom:
The Word of God.

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.”
Isaiah 8:20

This means:

  • No culture is automatically right.

  • No tradition is automatically acceptable because it is “ours”.

  • Every practice must pass through the filter of Scripture.

So we can say:

Any culture, law, or practice is wrong to the extent that it contradicts the Word of God.

If your culture approves what God condemns, then your culture is wrong. If your tradition strengthens what God calls sin, then your tradition must bow, not the Scriptures.

The kingdom we preach is not a Nigerian kingdom, or Arab kingdom, or Western kingdom. It is the Kingdom of God, and its constitution is the Bible.

The Invisible Battle Of Kingdoms

Behind the visible world, there is an invisible conflict of kingdoms.

Scripture reveals:

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:12

There are:

  • Principalities

  • Powers

  • Rulers of darkness

  • Spiritual wickedness

There is:

  • The kingdom of God

  • The kingdom of darkness

  • The kingdom of sin and rebellion

  • The kingdom of mammon (where money is master)

  • The spirit of Jezebel (seduction, immorality, intimidation, manipulation)

Whether we accept it or not, no one is neutral. We are consciously or unconsciously aligned to one kingdom by:

  • The values we embrace

  • The habits we practice

  • The voices we obey

The real question is not “Do I attend church?” but “Which kingdom is shaping my daily life?”

Daniel’s Prophecy And The Kingdom That Cannot Be Destroyed

In Daniel chapter 2, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream of successive kingdoms:

  • The head of gold

  • The chest and arms of silver

  • The belly and thighs of brass

  • The legs of iron

  • The feet of iron mixed with clay

Each represented an earthly empire, rising and falling, strong then broken. But that was not the end of the vision.

“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed… and it shall stand for ever.”
Daniel 2:44

A stone, cut out without hands, struck the great image, shattered it, and grew into a great mountain that filled the whole earth. That stone represents Christ and His kingdom.

What does this tell us?

  • Earthly kingdoms have expiry dates.

  • Political systems change.

  • Empires rise and fall.

  • But the Kingdom of God will never collapse.

The kingdom we preach is not fragile. Persecution does not kill it, it purifies and multiplies it. Restrictions do not suffocate it, they force it to become more intentional and more powerful.

No law, no government, no culture can permanently silence the kingdom of God. It may push the Church into house fellowships, underground meetings or online platforms, but the kingdom itself continues to advance.

What Kind Of Kingdom Do We Preach?

The Bible is very clear:

“The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
Luke 16:16

Jesus did not just preach “motivational messages”. He preached the gospel of the kingdom.

“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.”
Matthew 4:23

The kingdom we preach is:

  • A kingdom that heals

  • A kingdom that delivers

  • A kingdom that restores sanity to the mind

  • A kingdom that breaks demonic oppression

  • A kingdom that answers real human needs

After He rose from the dead, Jesus appeared to his disciples and said:

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you…”
John 14:27

Peace might look like a small word, but it is actually very big. Many of the things we ask from God are really expressions of a cry for peace:

  • Healing is the restoration of peace in the body.

  • Provision restores peace to the mind and family.

  • Protection preserves peace in our environment.

The kingdom we preach is a kingdom of peace, not just in theory, but in real life.

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
Romans 14:17

The Culture Of The Kingdom

If you belong to the kingdom of God, you must adopt the culture of that kingdom.

This includes:

  1. Culture of Prayer
    Jesus Himself modeled it.

    “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.”
    Mark 1:35

    He was not praying occasionally, but as a routine. Successful people in the kingdom and even in secular life live by principled routines.

    • Do you have a known time of prayer heaven can expect you?

    • Or do you only pray when there is emergency or inspiration?

  2. Culture of Holiness and Obedience
    We do not choose what we like and baptize it as Christianity. We ask:

    • “Is this in line with the Word of God?”

    • “Does this reflect the character of Christ?”

    Our dressing, our business dealings, our relationships, our social media habits, all must reflect the culture of the kingdom.

  3. Culture of Integrity in Relationships and Transactions
    In God’s kingdom:

    • We do not cheat our brothers or sisters.

    • We do not use people and discard them.

    • We do not say “Praise the Lord” and practice fraud at the same time.

    Whenever we break kingdom culture, we disorganize the spiritual and relational ecosystem in the house of God.

  4. Culture of Intentional Living
    The preacher shared a strong truth: successful people have patterns and routines. They do not live “anyhow.”

    • Production factories run on fixed, repeated processes.

    • If your life has no consistent spiritual routine, you are not yet living productively in the kingdom.

Kingdom success is not magic. It is the fruit of walking in established kingdom principles.

So, Which Kingdom Are You Truly In?

This is where the message becomes very personal.

It is possible to:

  • Bear a Christian name

  • Attend Christian meetings

  • Sing Christian songs

Yet your heart and lifestyle are aligned with another kingdom.

Maybe:

  • The kingdom of darkness through hidden sins and secret practices.

  • The kingdom of mammon where money rules everything.

  • The kingdom of Jezebel through immoral dressing, seductive conduct, and manipulative relationships.

The kingdom we preach calls you to a decision.

Not an emotional moment only, but a deliberate, well understood, intentional choice:

“I choose the kingdom of God above every other influence in my life. I choose to live by Scripture above culture and convenience. I choose the lifestyle of a true citizen of heaven.”

A Call To Return

Perhaps as you read this, you know:

  • Your prayer altar is down.

  • Your passion has gone cold.

  • You still come to church, but you are no longer truly connected.

  • You moved to another country, another job, another schedule, and slowly drifted away.

The Lord is calling you back.

God is gathering His people again. In any nation, including the UAE, He wants a people who will represent His kingdom correctly:

  • In homes

  • In workplaces

  • On campuses

  • In business and in the marketplace

He wants to rebuild your life so that you are not just a church attendee but a true kingdom ambassador.

A Simple Prayer Of Surrender

If this message is speaking to you, you can pray sincerely:

“Lord Jesus, I have heard about the kingdom we preach. I confess that in many ways my life has not reflected Your kingdom culture. I repent of every sin, compromise, and divided loyalty.
Today I choose Your kingdom above every other. I surrender my heart, my habits, my culture, my schedule, and my desires to You.
Teach me the lifestyle of the kingdom. Wake me to prayer. Align me with Your Word. Help me to live intentionally for You.
I receive Your peace, Your forgiveness, and Your grace to walk as a true citizen of heaven. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

A Song To Meditate On

If you can, take a few minutes and sing or meditate on:

“I Have Decided To Follow Jesus”

Let it not just be a song, but a covenant:

I have decided to follow Jesus,
No turning back, no turning back.

The kingdom we preach is real, unshakeable, and eternal.
The question is simply this:

Will you truly belong to it, in lifestyle as well as in name?

(Inspired by a message by Pst. Chris Ebo, at WCCRM UAE)

Until that step is taken

Good morning, Gods people across the globe, Praise the Lord. We are going to read the scriptures. Today, we are reading Genesis chapter 12.

 

God Himself said that whenever people agree as to what they want to do, that nothing can hinder them. But when it is contrary to the will of God, God can go against him. And if God goes against a man, that person will not be able to achieve anything. That person will become a failure.

 

From the scripture we read and observed, there is a promise God gave to Abraham. And that promise was a great one. To bless him above all nations. To make him an eternal blessing to all the people. And Abraham had it. But when he had the promises of God, he didn’t keep quiet. He took a journey in the direction that God asked him to go.

 

In verse 6, we see that Abraham passed through the land onto the plain of Zikar. Onto the plain of Moriah. And the Canaanites were then in the land. Abraham took a journey. He went. He departed from the swamp.

So Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken unto him. Abraham made an effort towards what God said he would do with him. In the same way, there are promises that God has made to us individually.

 

We all have a promise of God hanging over our destinies. It might be in our health. It might be in our finances, it might be in of protection. It might be that of making our work prosper. It might be achieving a global influence.

All those promises God has made to you as an individual. They are proposals. They are proposals that needed deliberate actions on our part to activate.

 

And until we take that word of God or that promise of God that he has made to us and begin to work on it in meditation, finding out how it will happen and asking deep, sincere questions like, Will this promise of God be fulfilled when I remain in the place God has left me and take no steps? But here, Abraham had the promise of God about how he wanted to make it. And he took a journey in line with what God had for us and the great things we wanted to achieve with us.

 

There is an initial step that needs to be taken. And until that step is taken, you remain where you are. So look within, identify that promise of God that you have not taken any steps toward, and make a move.

 

What is that great promise of God that has to do with your finances? That has to do with what God wants to achieve with you.

The greatness he wants to achieve with you in your community, in your town, in your field, and in your area of expertise will always remain a proposal until a step is taken in the direction of obedience.

 

When we read the word of God, we should ensure that we allow the word of God to rule us. Allow what God has said to command the pace, dictate our action, dictate our thoughts, and dictate the direction we take. So, this is an important aspect of achieving what God has said.

 

Today, we need to have good thinking, and good consideration. What promise has God given to us? The only way that promise can be realized is to take some action. Take a step in the direction God has spoken.

 

Any person that is a child of God, any person who wants to prosper with God, needs to look at what Jesus did. And that is one of the reasons behind this meeting. It was said of Jesus in Mark chapter 1 verse 5–5. But Jesus, rising up like a great light before the day, He went into a safe place and prayed. He went and communed with God. He listened to God. He had the voice of God speaking to his life, speaking to his situation, speaking to his circumstance. And when that voice of God speaks to him in the presence of God, he goes with that awareness.

And what follows is that as he is moving out with awareness of God’s presence, of God’s power, of God’s dictates, of God’s plans, he talk with a sound mind and also walk confidently, knowing that God is within our heart.

But if early in the morning He is there snoring, he will not be able to control his actions, commit his actions and that could lead a fruitless day for him. Let’s endeavor to emulate the ways of Christ in totality so we can be a true representation of him here on earth.

 

In order to keep the voice of God alive wherever we go, we must be intentional about our intimacy with God because the voice of God you have heard in the morning will be on our mind. We focus on it and that will lead us to great success and breakthroughs as we interact in our areas of endeavors.

God still reaffirmed the provision that man should FLOURISH

At creation, God, after creating man, gave him the power to reproduce and replenish the earth through fruitfulness (Gen 1:28). Even after destroying that first world, saving only Noah and a handful of other creatures, He still reaffirmed the provision that man should increase, multiply, replenish and subdue the earth (Gen 9:1).
