KINGDOM PERSPECTIVES Gospel | Literature | Education E arthly power and authority are insignificant while determining the influence of the spiritual world of God or the authority of the kingdom of God over earth. Very few understand the fact that the Spiritual world influences the physical world over and over again. Unlike, worldly attitudes like selfishness, pride, lust and greed for earthly power, the mind of the kingdom of God reflects an attitude of humility and self sacrifice. Jesus revealed this quality as a King of the Kingdom of God which later regulated for His glorification. There is a possibility of supernatural life and transformed life style, if we understand and live as a member of the kingdom of God. We with Kingdom mind must seek kingdom principles to get into kingdom benefits and influences in physical realm. How do you develop this attitude? According to book of James 4.7-10, Apostle James explains five different means for developing a Kingdom position. Firstly, submit to God, yield to the authority of God and His will. Commit your life to Jesus Christ and His control. Secondly, resist the devil, don't allow Satan to entice and tempt us. Thirdly, be cleansed from sinful nature, replacing our sinful desires and wicked thought patterns. Our intention in this drastic change will lead to a sinless life possible. Let us desire to experience more of God's purity. Fourthly grieve and mourn and wait before God in sincere sorrow for our sins. Don't be afraid to repent for your sins. Finally, humble yourselves before the Lord, He will lift you up. Being humble involves working with His power according to His guidance not with your own understanding and efforts.
