God’s kingdom isn’t just a lot of words. It is power. (1 Corinthians 4:20 CEV)
The kingdom of God is characterized by force to produce a change in men: from sinners to saints. It can transfer souls from death to life, from darkness to light. It has the ability to transform lives. The kingdom has a potent ability to bring the strong, the rich, and the wise to their knees before God, in total submission and servitude. It is not mere words and lip service of love and uprightness. Not everyone who says Lord, Lord shall be saved, or those who prophesize and heal are messengers of God. Those who are appointed by God in the kingdom; justified through the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ; whose sins were blotted out in the book of life; who are being sanctified by His words; and, who are being continuously made holy and shall be perfectly holy after the image of God during glorification – shall finally be in the kingdom of heaven. To be in the kingdom of God, one is required to be Most Holy, devoted to God as Kings and Priests to Him.
