The Making of Kings

We see throughout scripture that God deals with humanity three dimensionally. The numerical meaning of three stands for completion or conclusion. We also read in Corinthians 13: 1 that a matter gets to establish by the mouth of two or three witnesses. Two are only acceptable if there is not a third witness concerning a matter, but a witness of three is much more powerful. God Himself is three dimensional: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God created men is His image in likeness. Therefore, men are also three dimensional – Spirit, soul (mind, will and emotions) and body. Moreover, the very God of peace sanctifies you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ - 1Thes 5:23. God’s dealings with the Israelites were three-dimensional. He took them out of Egypt and brought them through the wilderness to humble them, to cleanse them and show them what was in their hearts. This was His preparation work to make them become special people above all people. Those who subjected themselves to this sanctification process were well able to enter the Promised Land, which was a land of overflowing abundance. God’s New Testament people are subjected to a similar process. God delivered us out of the world, which is a type of Egypt and brought us into the Church, which is a type of a wilderness to sanctify us to make us special people who are above all other people in all the nations in all the earth. Coming out of the wilderness is a transition that we have to make from the Church Age into the Kingdom Age. There is a very, very big difference between Church life and Kingdom life. Kingdom life is a pure life of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. It is possible to be joyful all the days of your life. This reality is a dimension that you need to enter in by grace through faith. There will be Caleb’s and Joshua’s in every generation – they are a remnant that has tasted the fruit of the Promise Land long before the people entered into the Promised Land. I consider myself a Caleb and A Joshua type of guy – I know by experience how kingdom life tastes like. I am bringing you a good report about the Kingdom of God on earth. He is busy making us to become kings and priest unto our God. Jesus washed us and cleanses us and made us kings and priest, but this was a subjective work, which has automatically put us in the process of an objective work that we need to work out in our day to day life. This objective work takes place in the Church dimension, which is our wilderness. Those of us who subject ourselves to this cleansing or sanctification process will rule and reign in life through the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace. If we suffer (subject ourselves to the sanctification process), we shall also reign with Him: - 2Tim 2:12a It was and is the Father’s intention from the very beginning to dwell among His people. It was never His intention to take us back to heaven where we come from. Heaven is a place for those who would die before the second coming of Christ – those of us who remain will have the glorious privilege of seeing all things been placed under our feet. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he has given to the children of men - Psalm 115:16. God instructed Moses to make Him a sanctuary, so that He could dwell among His people. God created the earth for us – He did not create the earth in vain, but to be inhabited. The prophet Isaiah made this very clear in His prophetic declarations. For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else - Isaiah 45:18. No wonder Jesus prayed this prayer: I pray not that Thou (The Father) shouldest take them (us) out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil - John 17:15. It makes no sense for us to leave the earth, since we have not yet fulfilled God’s original purpose, which is to exercise complete dominion over all the works of His mighty hands. It is irresponsible of us to think in terms of running or flying away, since the earth is in such a terrible mess. God is a God of order – God is decent my friend. He wants us to establish His order in the earth and in every nation, tongue and tribe. We are supposed to do what Adam and Eve have failed to do. He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness to carry out our kingdom assignment upon the earth. Judges 21:25 speaks volumes if we read it with the mindset that Jesus has made us kings and priest, according to Revelation 1: 6. It reads like this: In those days, there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. What difference does a king make in a nation? Proverbs 20: 8 gives us an answer to this question. It reads like this - A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes. The presence of a King brings a sense of discipline and restrain to a nation – people think twice before they would do something that the king is not in favor with. My kid’s feels a sense of restrain even in my absence – they think twice before they would do the wrong thing, because I take no nonsense. The absence of parenting discipline, strictness and restrain may cause children to do what is right in their own eyes. This can also be said about the conditions in the world and in all the nations. There is so sense of restrain – everyone does what is right in their own eyes, because we do not yet see ourselves as kings nor do we subject ourselves to the process of becoming kings. Look at all the terrible bad news on TV and in all the news papers. Furthermore, read what Ecc 8:11 says about this: Because a sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. No wonder that the earth is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God. The sons of God are not a matter of gender – it speaks of mature children of God. They (kings and priest) are the one’s that will bring a sense of restrain in the earth, so that no man would continue to do what is right in their own eyes. This simply means that the rule of God will be established in all the earth. The rule of God is the Kingdom of God. In conclusion: It is not about going up; it is about growing up. We should all grow up to become sons of God without rebuke, that is to say, we should be open-minded and pliable to accept rebukes to bring correction and alignment, whilst we are not yet sons without rebuke. We should become absolutely blameless and harmless among the nation, because it is our innocence that will bring a sure sense of restrain in the world and the nations. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; - Philippians 2:15. Open rebuke is better than hidden love. It is more than right to be rebuked if your ways and action are not in alignment with being kings and priest unto our God and His Father.
